Original Lyrics:
Mmmmm mmmmm I's up this mornin'
ah, blues walkin' like a man
I's up this mornin'
ah, blues walkin' like a man
Worried blues
give me your right hand
And the blues fell mama's child
tore me all upside down
Blues fell mam's child
and it tore me all upside down
travel on, poor Bob
just cain't turn you 'round
The blu-u-u-u-ues
is a low-down shakin' chill
spoken: Yes, preach 'em now.
Mmmmm mmmmm
is a low-down shakin' chill
You ain't never had 'em, I
I hope you never will
Well, the blues
is a achin' old heart disease
spoken: Do it. now.
You gon' do it?
Tell me about it.
Let the blues
is a low-down achin' heart disease
Like consumption
killing me by degrees
I can study rain
oh, ohm drive, oh, oh, drive my blues
I been studyin' the rain and
I'm 'on drive my blues away
Goin' to the 'stil'ry
stay out there all day
As performed by Peter Green:
…up this mornin'
And the blues walkin' like a man
Woke up this mornin'
Met the blues walkin' like a man
Worried blues
give me your right hand
Blu-u-u-u-ues
a low-down shakin' chill (2x)
Ain't never had 'em,
Hope you never will
Blu-u-u-u-ues
An achin' ol' heart disease (2x)
Whoooa-oooo
It’s an achin' ol' heart disease (2x)
Like consumption
killing me by degrees
It started raining,
Well, drive, drive my blues away,
It started raining,
Drive my blues away
Goin' to the 'stil'ry
stay out there all day
