First Time I Met The Blues

(álbum: The Real Deal - 1996)

The first time I met the blues
People, you know I was walking, I was walking down through the woods
Yes, the first time, the first time I met you, blues
Blues you know I was walking, I was walking down through the woods
Yes, I've watched my house burning blues
Blues, you know you done me, you done me all the harm that you could

The blues got after me
People, you know they ran me from tree to tree
Yes, the blues got after me
Blues, you know you ran me, ran me from tree to tree

Yes, you should-a heard me beg ya, blues
Ah, blues, don't murder me

Yes, good morning, blues
Blues, I wonder, I wonder what you're doing here so soon
Yes, good morning, good morning, good morning, mister blues
Blues, I wonder, I keep wondering what you're doing here so soon
Yes, you know you'll be with me every morning, blues
Every night and every noon
Oh, yeah
