From the album Among the ruins

lyrics

Blues when I was born

I was born one morning
found the blues waiting in my crib
I was born sad and gloomy
The blues hidin’ in my crib
I told ‘m to get the hell outta there
It’s my crib and not his

The blues would sneak upon me
Every day, for many years
The blues tried to get me
For many nights and many years
He’d follow me to school
He’d be there when I’d done my prayers

The blues was there when I got baptized
The blues was there I learned to read and write
The blues was there when I had my first kiss
The blues was there when I used my fists
The blues was there in the light
The blues was there in deep drunken nights
The was there when I was outta luck
The blues was there when I had a fuck

I got the blues when I was born
I got the blues when I was born
I got the blues when I was born
I got the blues when I was born
I got the blues when I was born
I got the blues when I was born
Into blues I was thrown
I got the blues when I was born
