Oh when I woke up this morning, I looked around in my room Oh when I woke up this morning, I looked around in my room I says Hello blues, now what're you doing in here so soon? I never heard the blues cause I heard him walkin' in my room I let out the blues cause I heard him walkin' in my room Lord I wonder what's the matter that the Blues just won't leave me alone Oh blues, blues, why don't you let poor me be Oh blues, blues, why don't you let poor me be And I may have one day, I oughtta descend days away Lord I walked and I wonder, I cried honey all night long I walk and I wonder, I cried honey all night long I don't care where I go, the blues just won't leave me alone You know the blues is the rabbit running for one solid mile I said the blues is the rabbit running for one solid mile And then the rabbit turned over and cried like a natural child He cried Blues, blues, you follow me everywhere, oh blues He said Blues, blues, you follow me everywhere I don't know what's the matter, the blues just won't let me be
