If Them Blues

If the blues is a bottle, then I'm not getting very far

Yes, if the blues is a bottle, then I'm not getting very far

You can keep all your fancy whiskey

Just give me back my old shiny guitar

If the blues is for sinners, then why am I standing high and dry?

Yes, if the blues is for sinners, then why am I standing high and dry?

Is there anybody going to save me

Or do I really have, really have to cry?

Cry

Oh, and if the blues is a woman, then I'm moving metal

If the blues is a woman, then I, oh

If the blues is a woman, then I really want some more

Oh, if the blues is a sorrow, then why does it smile on me?

Yes, if the blues is made of sorrow, then why does it smile on me?

I'm a brown man from a strange land

But it really is the color of my misery
