Messin' The Blues

(album: Long Misty Days - 1976)

Well I've been down so long that I can't get up
Drink my life from an empty cup
I ain't taking no messing from the likes of you
There ain't no messing now mess with the blues
Messing the blues, messing the blues
Messing the blues, messing the blues

Well lonely days and lonely nights
Tell your honey that it just ain't right
Well baby baby don't let me be blue
'cause there ain't no messing like messin the blues
Messing the blues

Fine little belly got a gleam in my eye
Ask no questions and I get no lies
I ain't no angel but I end up used
Down, down, down with the blues
Down with the blues
Dealing the blues
Dealing the blues
