I Play The Blues

>

Been way down under, traveling just for for fun

Walked through the jungle

Then to the land of the rising sun

Ben downhearted, she had my fair share of tears

Playing this music, for all these years

So, I'll play the blues

And it comes from the heart

Keeping it goin' – I said I'm doing my part

So, I'll play the sad blues

Give you all of the bad news

Yes, I'll play the blues that makes you wanna cry

I'll keep on doin' it until the day I die

Till the day I die

No peace, Lord, at the border

Said there's crime in the street

Voice of the children

Cries the sounds of defeat

I've been walking in circles

Seems I'm going nowhere

And I just can't understand it

Cause nobody cares

So, I'll play the blues

And it comes from the heart

Keeping it goin' – Said I'm doing my part

So, I'll play the sad blues

Give you all of the sad news

Yes, I'll play the blues that makes you wanna cry

I'll keep on doin' it until the day

Till the day I die

I'm gonna keep right on doing it until the day

Until the day

That I die… Until the day

Till the very, very, very day… That I die
