Poor Boy Blues
My daddy said
Son, dont you come to me cryin
Cause money dont make you a happy man
He said the grass is always greener
Any place except where you stand
He said some are born to win
And some born to lose
And sing them poor boy blues
Watch out
Ive lived uptown, downtown
Lord Ive lived everywhere
Almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat I swear
I believe its due time I get my mansion in ole bel air
Chorus:
But Im still singin those poor boy blues
Poor boy blues
You dont know how Im feeling baby
Until youre wearing my shoes
Sure as Im standing here
I got them poor boy blues
Friday night I get tanked up
And tossed in the local slam
At least I get three square meals
Until someone gets me out of this jam
In the meanwhile all my green
Is going to uncle sam
Chorus:
Walk this dog
Solo

Blues Man
Hey What chu tryin to do
Why you tryin to see through me baby
Its way too hazy
Hey Im still feelin the same
So dont go tryin to change me baby
You cant save me
So many people try to bring me down
They wouldnt last a second in my town
CHORUS
Hey Ive always been a blues man
Hey I little rhythm and blues man
Dont try walkin inside my shoes
Unless youre puttin up somethin to lose
I said Hey Ive always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythm and blues man
Dont try walkin inside my shoes tonight
You stem so far from the truth
You hide inside all your talkin papers
Flashin statements
You never put your money down
And watched a big wheel go around and take it
And in remake it
All you do is follow me around
Then you go ahead and ride it down
REPEAT CHORUS
Dont try walkin inside my shoes
Unless youre puttin up somethin to lose

Everbody Gets The Blues
It dont matter if youre rich
It dont make no difference if youre poor
Simple things in life can make you mad to the core
It doesnt matter if youre young
Dont make no difference if youre old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach a pot of gold
Chorus:
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high
Well you work and you worry
Spend you life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Aint no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
[repeat chorus]
Dont matter if youre fat
Dont matter if youre thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Dont matter if youre black
Dont matter if youre white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right
[repeat chorus]

Last One Singin The Blues
Ive always tried to level with you eye to eye
I finally found the devil in you by and by
But I dont really want to be the
Last one singing the blues
When it comes to fiction youre the best Ive met
But all those little lies
Are gonna get you yet
But I dont really want to be the
Last one singin the blues
(*) you say that you love me
But if you really love me
Then why do you treat me this way
Your game is that youre gone again
Its off and then its on again
Well someday I wont play
If all I do is catch you in the same old lies
Ill just have to look at you
With different eyes
cause I dont really want to be
The last one singin the blues
Repeat (*)
Well fate will soon determine youre the one to lose
Ill be the one whos handin you your walkin shoes
cause I dont really want to be
The last one singin the blues
Yeah, I dont really want to be
The last one singing the blues

Runnin Blue
Poor otis dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Poor otis dead and gone
Yeah, back down, turn around slowly
Try it again, remembering when
It was easy, try it again
Much to easy, rememberin when
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin blues
Dont fight, too much to lose
Cant fight the runnin blues
Well, Ive got the runnin blues
Runnin away, back to l.a.
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in l.a.
Runnin scared
Runnin blue
Goin so fast
Whatll I do
Well, Ive got the runnin blues
Runnin away, back to l.a.
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in l.a.
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin blues

Cant fight the runnin blues

Singin' The Blues
I've been working so hard,
Just came home from my job.
Looked down in my wallet,
Good God, I've been robbed.
Now where can my money be,
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I going to do now?
I got my bills to pay.
You got me singin' the blues,
And I'm paying all my dues.
You got me singin' the blues,
Ain't got nothing to lose.
I got to tell you I got the blues down in my pockets.
People, what did I say?
Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow,
Why I need my ten dollars today.
Chorus
Ain't no way to get even
Because, you know what I mean,
Every time I make me some money
Somebody's going to take it from me.

She Dont Get The Blues
Well she puts her dancing shoes on every night
And comes alive there in the smoke beneath the neon lights
And she dont like those hurtinsongs
Cause shes already lived em
She dont get the blues, she gives em
Well she checks her broken heart there at the door
She aint looking for romance, shes danced that dance before
Well I pity the next poor fool that gets caught up in her rhythm
Cause she dont get the blues, she gives em
Shes been on the losing end of love too many times
And she aint gonna go for anything youve got in mind
So before you start let me impart
These few words of wisdom
She dont get the blues, she gives em
Shes been on the losing end of love too many times
And she aint gonna go for anything youve got in mind
So before you start let me impart
These few words of wisdom
She dont get the blues, she gives em
No she dont get the blues, lord she gives em

Worried Down With The Blues
By warren haynes, allen woody & john jaworowicz.
Copyright 1996 sony music entertainment, inc.
Transcribed by marcus fromm & cal watts
Im lying here for hours,
Cant get my eyes to close.
Cant get one moments peace,
To save my dog-gone soul.
Ive been doin more than drinkin
Tryin to ease my pain.
Everywhere I go,
Somebody speaks your name.
Oh my friends keep on askin
Boy whats a wrong with you,
I say Im worried,
Worried down with the blues.
Try to be a good man,
Work my fingers to the bone.
Oh and you return the favor,
By reckin oh a happy home.
Whyd you play so many dirty tricks
I lost my faith in you,
And now you want me to take you back.
Whats a poor man supposed to do?
[chorus]
I am worried down with the blues,
Oh yes I am,
I am worried down with the blues oh yea
I feel like I was born to lose.
I used to walk with pride and my head held high
And now Im starin down at my shoes.
Yes I am worried,
Worried down with the blues.
You made me turn my back,
On my very best friend.
And when my back was turned,
You were messin around with him.
Still Id give up everything,
Just to have you by my side.
In the cold cold nights when I reach for you.
Im holdin to my foolish pride.
[chorus]
I am worried down with the blues,
Oh yes I am,
I am worried down with the blues oh yea
I feel like I was born to lose.
I used to walk with pride and my head held high
And now Im starrin down at my shoes.
Yes I am worried,
Worried down with the blues.

You know I had an itchy itchy feeling
Running round my head
I looked at my watch
And this is what it said
You got them dawghaus blues

Boy you know youre bound to lose

Well the blues dont care whos got em
Tears dont care where they fall
And you dont care my heart is breaking in two
No you and the blues dont care at all
Outside my window
Its raining
Somehow the rain seems right
Inside my lonely heart is aching
Oh how I miss you tonight

Rivers dont care where they flow

Cryin Through The Night
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and I dont know why
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and Im so dissatisfied
cause Ive been cryin through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping pillow
From cryin through the night
Hear me cryin through the night
I am lonely, downhearted and sad
cause Ive lost the best woman that I ever had
To a fiend of mine
Just cant figure out how it could be
That somebody like him could take her away from me
And its on my mind
Nearly all the time
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and I dont know why
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and Im so dissatisfied
cause Ive been cryin through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping pillow
From cryin through the night
Hear me cryin through the night
Now I know just how best friends can be
cause he made sure you knew your best was with me
And its on my mind
Heres a lesson much greater than wealth
Keep your business to you, yourself and no one else
And your smiling eyes
Wont be cryin like mine
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and I dont know why
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and Im so dissatisfied
cause Ive been cryin through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping pillow
From cryin through the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Im weeping like a weeping pillow
From cryin through the night
Oh, oh, yeah
Hear me cryin, cryin, Im cryin, cryin
Im cryin baby, cryin baby, yeah
Even a fool can tell
That so many tears sho enough done fell
And pretty soon before you know
Ill have enough tears to fill a water well
Hear me cryin through the night
Oh yeah, cryin through the night
And its on my mind
Nearly all the time
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and I dont know why
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and Im so dissatisfied

And I have been cryin through the night

Bell Bottom Blues
(by eric clapton)
Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.
I dont want to lose this feeling.
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms.
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
Id gladly do it because
I dont want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I dont want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay.
Its all wrong, but its all right.
The way that you treat me baby.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You wont find a better loser.
Chorus

Bell bottom blues, dont say goodbye.
Im sure were gonna meet again,
And if we do, dont you be surprised
If you find me with another lover.

Oh - love has gone wrong
Its so hard on my heart going from good into gone
There aint no easy way back into nights before you

Hey lord I thought I would cry
Shell do me

The Blues In Black And White
the writing is on the wall, baby
We're different as day and night
But I guess that I refused to face it
The blues in black and white
When I got home I knew, baby
Something was wrong tonight
When I found the note you wrote ,it gave
The blues in black and white
CHORUS
Color my world without you in it
And the future dont look too bright
Darlin' its not a pretty picture
The blues in black and white
Since you've been gone I'm going crazy
I've got to get on with my life
Maybe I'll write a book and call it
The blues in black and white

Honky Tonk Side Of Town
Dont you cry __ dont you moan
Hang your head down all night long
That ole feeling sure aint nothing new
Its in your walk, its in your talk
Theres only one way to shake it off,
You got to get to it before it gets to you
So put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop
Put another one in, play it again, dont let it stop
Theres only one thing Ive found
Thatll turn it all around
The blues cant do no business
On a honky tonk side of town
You gotta slip, you gotta slide
Therere gonna try to nail your hide
Yeah, theyll put a hurting on you, given half a chance
So get mean and get slick
You gotta pull out every trick
Cause everybody knows the blues dont like to dance
To chorus:
Well, you can walk that walk
And talk that talk, and boogie till you shake it off
No the blues cant do no business
The blues cant do no business
The blues cant do no business
On the honky tonk side of town

But I wouldnt cut you loose, baby, if I could.

Dont ask me why I stay here, I dont know.
Well maybe Im a fool to care,
Without your sweet love, baby I would be nowhere.
Here Ill stay, locked in your web,
Till that day I might find somebody else.
I dont know just when that would be,
I dont know, I cant say as I cant see.
Lord you got me feeling like a fool.
Sail on, darlin, sail on
Woman, you go your way, and Ill go mine
Seems to me, that I once heard
That everything is finally cured by time
So sail on, darlin, sail on

And Ill see you when you come next time.

The Blues Come Around
Once I was happy as I could be but I let a gal make a fool of me
And ever since she let me down the blues come around when the sun comes down
Oh the blues come around oh the blues come around
Lard the blues come around every evenin' when the sun goes down
[ guitar ]
As the sun is in the sky those doggone blues never make me cry
But ever since she left this town the blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around...
[ fiddle ]
I've built my castle very high and then she went and said goodbye
Ever since she poured 'em down the blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around...
[ steel ]
Once she called me all her own but now she's gone and I'm alone
And every evenin' I'm sorrow bound
Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down
Oh the blues come around...

Oh the blues come around...
