00:06Woke up this morning, the sun don't shine, no birds are singing, just troubles on my mind.
00:19With a heavy heart, I grab my old guitar, strummin' out a rhythm, but it's never gone too far.
00:32I got the blues, it's deep in my soul, oh Lord, I got the blues, and it's takin' its toll.
00:43Oh, I got the blues, oh Lord, I got the blues, every note I play is just bad news.
01:00With every pluck of the strings, my troubles unfold, I got the blues, oh Lord, that's the story I told.
01:14The whiskey ain't workin', it ain't drownin' my pain.
01:21Each glass I raise, it just entertains the rain.
01:27Down by the river, where the willow's been low, I sit in silence, listenin' to the pain flow.
01:40Time moves slowly when sorrow's your friend, I got the blues, oh Lord, will it ever end?
01:55I got the blues, oh Lord, I got the blues, every note I play is just bad news.
02:08With every pluck of the strings, my troubles unfold, I got the blues, oh Lord, that's the story I told.
02:34The moonlight whispers, secrets of old dreams.
02:41Where love once blossomed, now it only seems.
02:48But those sweet memories, play in my head.
02:53Each note a reminder of the love that I dread.
03:00So I pick and I strum my heartache tonight.
03:07Hopin' one sweet song can make everything right.
03:16So if you hear me playin' down by the tracks, know that these blues got me holdin' on to the
03:27past.
03:28With each passing moment, I'm tryin' to break free.
03:35But the sadness lingers like a shadow on me.
03:43I got the blues, oh Lord, I got the blues.
03:49Every note I play is just bad news.
03:55With every pluck of the strings, my troubles unfold.
04:02I got the blues, oh Lord, that's the story I told.
04:08So here I am, playin' to the stars above.
04:14With a heart full of sorrow, but a soul full of love.
04:20Oh Lord, I got the blues.
04:23But I'm still standin' strong.
04:27With every wrinkle in my heart, I'll find where I belong.
04:33I got the blues, oh Lord, I'm singin' my tune.
04:40With a fiddle in my hand, I'll be howlin' at the moon.
04:46END
04:48I love you
