Grew up in the Mississippi delta
|
In a shotgun shack
|
Washboard for my pillow
|
'Til the tax man took that back
|
Moved out on my own
|
I was just eight years old ... top that
|
|
You think you got the blues
|
Look at my life
|
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues
|
|
When I was an itty-bitty baby
|
I was my mama's only surviving son
|
She used my head as a washrag
|
I thought it was fun
|
Walked to school upway both ways
|
With no legs ... top that
|
|
You think you got the blues
|
Look at my life
|
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues
|
|
|
|
Got so drunk the other night I couldn't find my way home
|
Had to have a blind man show me
|
When I finally did get there,
|
My own dog had disowned me
|
A womam in a bar just looks at me and coughed and said
|
"I don't even know you, but I wish you'd die off" ... top that
|
|
You think you got the blues
|
Look at my life
|
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues
|
