The Blues Overtook Me

The Blues overtook me when I was a little child (2x) You know fast women and whisky Made this southern boy wild When I was a kid early on my own I took the highway to be on my home The Blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this lonesome boy wild It's dark and cloudy; I believe it's gonna rain Makes me wanna hear my baby call my name The Blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this poor boy wild When you get in trouble everybody,s down on you The blues is will overtake you and pull you through Well the blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this lonesome boy wild Hand me down my suitcase; pack up my trunk I ain't been drinkin' it's the blues made me drunk The Blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this poor boy wild You might run and try to escape But the blues will overtake you one rainy day The Blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this poor boy wild
