Everyday I Have The Blues

(album: Snowfall On The Sahara - 1999)

Dig count Basie
Blow Joe's blues away
Every night, every noon, every sun, every moon

Yeah
Every way
Yeah
Everywhere
Yeah
I get the blues
Yeah
And I don't care
Yeah

I run away and hide
But find they follow me there
You run away and hide
But find they follow you there
There, well get up

Yeah
Get fed up and they'll let up
Dig
Get up and go now
Let up and blow now
You give them their way everyday
Yes, every doggone day
You're singing the blues each time I see ya

Every day
You're singing the blues
Those blues won't free ya
Every day
I sort of expected
Once you'd shake'em
Every day
But now I can dig
They're what you make them
Every day
What about it?
Soon as I'm waking
Everyday I have the blues
Every dawning I dig
They're waiting there to wig me
Every day
What about it?

Oh
Everyday I have the blues
What are you gonna get but blue
Wish that I could help you
Baby, what can I do?
When you see me worried baby
I've had a few
Because it's you I'd hate to lose
What about settling
How're you gonna keep 'em from meddlin'?
You should be moving
Nobody loves me

Oh
You need some grooving
Nobody seems to care
The blues have gone their bit Yeah!
Baby don't seem to care
Her loving cupboard is bare

Nobody loves me
Your troubles growing
You should be going
Nobody seems to care
The blues have won, that's it yeah
How're you gonna get her to care?

Gotta be a millionaire
Speaking of bad luck
Luck and trouble
And you know I've had my share
The day they metcha
You let them getcha
So now you might as well split, yeah

Yes man, I'm digging, you tell me
I'm gonna pack my suitcase
I hear ya talking
Pack
They got us walking

No
Pack
Just let her have her say, yeah
No one to love
The girl ain't lying
Pack
She's really crying

No
Pack
She's really not this way, yeah
No one to love
Pack
I know for certain
Pack
Although she's hurting

No
Pack
She's bound to lose them someday
No one to love
Move on

Move down the line
Gonna move on

Move down the line

Dig
These blues are doing you wrong
Dig
Just wait

You'll sing and shout 'em away

Looks like they're coming to stay

Blues chase contentment away
Since they've known ya
The blues will own ya
