Lyrics

Here's a number that I would like to
Dedicate to all the great blues singers
The late, great blues singers
Uh, three people that I think are responsible
For the blues being where they are today
Course, we all had the blues, but we didn't know it
Until the one and only Bessie Smith, Big Bill
Broons and Leroy Carr told us what we had
My mama had them, and her mother had them
And people, now I've got them too, Lord, Lord, Lord
I've got somethin', somethin' you can't learn in school
That's why I know I was born with them
Because you can't learn the blues in school
Now when I'm sad and lonesome, or when I've got trouble
Even when I'm happy too, Lord, Lord, Lord
All of a sudden, I find myself just singin' the blues
Just singin' the blues
That's why I know I was born with them
Because you don't learn the blues in school
Now Bessie Smith, she had them
Big Bill, he had them
And Leroy Carr, he had them too, Lord, Lord, Lord
Feel so happy, every time I hear them sing the blues
Because I know what they mean
And you can't learn the blues in school
No, you don't learn the blues in school
