Born With the Blues

From my childhood to where I am now

Ain't gonna worry, I'll get by somehow

My mama had 'em, daddy too

I was born with the blues

I'll tell you something, friend, it ain't no joke

I would take my past life from my weight in gold

My mama had 'em, daddy too

I was born with the blues

Don't believe I'm sinking, look at the hole I'm in

Believe I love you, what a fool I've been

I'm not ashamed, ain't that news

I've been living the blues

You think I'm happy, you don't know my mind

Smile on my face, my heart bleeding all the time

But I ain't ashamed, ain't that news

I was born with the blues

I want you to know I began to roam

Poor old me, I had to leave home

My mama had 'em, daddy too

I was born with the blues

My mama had 'em, daddy too

I was born with the blues

I was born with the blues

I was born with the blues
