Blues (My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me)

(album: Old Home Town - 1982)

Now there are blues that you get from lonliness
There are blues that you get from pain
There're blues when you are lonely for your one and only
Blues that are hard to explain

And there are blues that you get from crying
But the meanest, the meanest blues that be
They're kind that I got on my mind
Blues there are all very meanest kind
All the blues my naughty sweetie gives to me
Oh, yeah

Oh, they're blues you get from women when you see 'em going swimming and you haven't got a bathing suit yourself
There are blues that start to flicker when you had a lot of liquor and someone goes and takes it off the shelf
There are blues you get from sitting on the dock, and you wondering if your little boat is gonna rock
Blues you keep a getting in a taxicab a petting every time you hear the meter jump the clock

And there are blues you get from crying when your uncle Will is dying and he afterwards forgets you in his will
There are blues you get from kisses when you are walking with the missus and another baby shouts, "Hey!!"
Blues that kinda make you hop and really shake and shiver, kinda make you want to end it all in the river
Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me

Now there are blues you get from women when you see 'em going swimming and you haven't got a bathing suit your own self
There are blues that start to flicker when you had a lot of liquor and someone goes and takes it off the shelf
There are blues you get from waiting on the dock, and you wondering if the boat's gonna rock
Blues you keep a getting in a taxicab a petting every time you hear the meter jump the clock

And there are blues you get from crying when your uncle Will is dying and he afterwards forgets you in his will
There are blues that get from kisses when you are walking with the missus and another baby shouts, "Hey, Bill!!"
Blues that kinda make you hop and really shake and shiver, kinda make you want to end it all in the river
Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me
Let me hear it again
Oh, blues my naughty sweetie gives to me
Just one more time!
Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me

Yeah!
