the blues is alive and well

when i walked through the front door

i swear i heard the back door slam

i got a sneaky suspicion

you've got another man

you've done me wrong

our love is dead and gone

but as far as i can tell

the blues is alive and well

said you was visiting your sister

on the south side of town

but your sister called this morning

said you never came around

yeah she's doing me wrong

our love is dead and gone

but as far as i can tell

the blues is alive and well

i've been hurting this way

for so damn long

misery and pain

still coming on strong

as long as i am breathing

and my heart's still beating

i got my story to tell

i know the blues is alive and well

i've been hurting this way

for so damn long

misery and pain

still coming on strong

as long as i am breathing

and my heart's still beating

i got my story to tell

i know the blues is alive and well

as long as i am breathing

and my heart's still beating

i got my story to tell

as long as i'm around

the blues is alive and well

yes it is

blues

good morning mr. blues

my friends told me before they died

keep the blues alive
