I got the blues, I got the blues
no one to travel on with me
I got the blues, I got the blues
no one to travel on with me
I know the blues will take me down
they might as well just set me free
I drifted past the delta towns
on down that Mississippi run
I drifted past the delta towns
on down that Mississippi run
I hit a deadhead in the water
it sunk my boat, my trip was done
the blues had put me on the island
the muddy water all around
the blues had put me on the island
the muddy water all around
I should have never left my home
for now a friend just can't be found
now in the spring the river rises
and it will bring my body home
now in the spring the river rises
and it will bring my body home
the blues are sure to take me down
and then no longer will I roam
the blues are like the river's tears
they never give, they only take
the blues are like the river's tears
they never give, they only take
they pull me down to New Orleans
they take my soul into their wake
I got the blues, I got the blues
no one to travel on with me
I got the blues, I got the blues
no one to travel on with me
I know the blues won't let me go
they might as well just set me free

Thanks. Glad you like it. I like writing song lyrics sometimes when and idea comes to me. Some have a tune to go with them.
