blues so bad

helm, levon

blues so bad i can't take 'em

blues so bad i can't shake 'em

blues so bad that i hurry

to find a place just to worry

i try to drown 'em in drink

but what do you think

the blues can swim

they don't sink

blues so bad i don't try

blues so bad i wanna die

blues so bad that i roll 'em

blues so bad that i told 'em

my favorite joke

i try to give 'em a toke

but the blues don't burn

they just smoke

blues so bad i look slouchy

blues so bad i feel grouchy

blues so bad i ain't even

the blues so bad that i'm leavin'

i try to get 'em to blow

but what do you know

the blues still come

they don't go
