the blues don't bother me

if you're wonderin'

what's all the noise

i'm in the backroom

with the girls and boys

were' discussing the blues

and they don't seem to see

the blues is all i play

the blues don't bother me

when i was a little boy

sittin' on my papa's knee

i couldn't a been no older than two or three

he said i am a blues man

you're gonna take after me

after me

the blues is my companion

the blues don't bother me

they don't bother me

no they don't

when i go to bed at night

i'll throw on a record or two

if i didn't have these blues

i wouldn't know what to do

i need them to soothe me

to ease my misery

the blues is my companion

they don't bother me

they don't bother me

the blues don't bother me

they don't bother me

keeps me company

i got the blues

relieves my misery

keeps me company

the blues don't bother me

i got the blues
