Lyrics

I got something to tell you
If it's news to you
If you ain't got five strings
Let four strings do
If you ain't got four
Play on three
That is what the blues
Has taught to me
If you ain't got three
Then pick on two
That is what the blues
Can do to you
If you ain't got two
Then pluck on one
If you ain't got one
Then hum it with none
That is what the blues
Has done, done, done
That is what the blues
Has done, done, done
Written by: David Martin, Langston Hughes
