Born to Live the Blues

歌詞

From my childhood to where I am now I ain't gonna worry, I'll get by somehow My Momma had 'em, my daddy had 'em too I was born with the blues I'll tell you somethin' Friend it ain't no joke I wouldn't take my past life For my weight in gold My momma had 'em, daddy had 'em too I was born with the blues I've used my guitar for my pillow Hollow log has even been my bed Blues, my only companion I had to sing the blues for my meat and bread I want you to know I begin to roam Poor old Brownie come from a broken home My Momma had 'em, daddy had 'em too I was born with the blues If you've ever been down You know how I feel Feel like an engine Ain't got no drivin' wheel But I'm not ashamed Ain't that news I been livin' with the blues Don't believe I'm sinkin' Look what a hole I'm in Don't believe I love you Look what a fool I've been But I'm not ashamed Ain't that news I been livin' with the blues Because rocks was my mother n father's pillow Cold ground had to be their beds Blue sky was their blanket And the moonlight was their spread If you think I'm happy You don't know my mind Smile on my face My heart's bleeding all the time But I'm not ashamed Ain't that news I been livin' with the blues Because rocks was my mother n father's pillow Cold ground had to be their beds Blue sky was their blanket And the moonlight was their spread Worked all summer Slaved all the fall Had to take your Christams In your overalls But I'm not ashamed Ain't that news I been livin' with the blues My Momma had 'em, daddy had 'em too I was born with the blues But I'm not ashamed Oh no friends Ain't that a lot of news Me and old Sonny's got the blues
