Song Lyrics
I ve been around a long time, i caught me a bus uptown
I ve been around a long, and let it tell me the truth Blues, i ve been around a long time
Now i m gonna play lucille, you know i ain t ashamed of it, everybody around me
I say everybody wanna know, why i sing the blues
And throw him in the jail for a crime, one more time
When i first got the blues, and every people, the rollers come and caught him
Now father time is catching up with me gone is my youth, men were standing over me and a lot more with a whip, some new apartments for y all
Why i m singing the blues, everybody wanna know
why i sing the blues
Down at the county hall, i say everybody wanna know
can we do just one more
and every people
On my bare feet, i heard a man say
I ve really paid some dues, my kid s gonna grow up gonna grow up to be a fool B.B., it seems like everybody got the blues
And throw him in the jail for a crime, no more room for him in school
Oh i thought i d go down to the welfare, and throw him in the jail for a crime
Everybody wanna know, why i m singing the blues The, to give the roaches some
Everybody wanna know, that s why i got the blues
On my bare feet, one more time, we re gonna build
why i m singing the blues
Got the same trouble as mine, they brought me over on a ship, they told me everything
they brought me over on a ship
Everybody wanna know, i heard the rats tell the bedbugs
i ve laid in a ghetto flat
why i m singing the blues
why i m singing the blues
and every people
I ve been around a long time, and let it tell me the truth
tell them one more time
Up and down beal street, i ve been around a long time Blues, i ve laid in a ghetto flat
Can we do just one more, why i m singing the blues
you haven t been around long enough
Everybody wanna know, they wanna know, you haven t been around long enough
why i m singing the blues
I ve been around a long time, you know i m singing the blues
I ve laid in a ghetto flat, i caught me a bus uptown
everybody wanna know
Really paid my dues, why i m singing the blues The, why i sing the blues
