He was a man  A ramblin' man he was yes he was  Guitar in hand  His home was on the road and that's where he was  He's seen a thousand roads  He's been a million miles  And when he'd bend a note  A tear would fill my eyes  Where are you playin'  Mr. Bluesman  Mr. Bluesman  Town to town  Honkytonks and dives all look the same  His gipsy heart keeps his shadow ridin' through the rain  A graveyard full of scars  His life will paint his songs  'Cause when you're on the road  There's nowhere you belong  You're just alone  Where are you playin'  Mr. Bluesman  Mr. Bluesman  He's seen a thousand roads  He's been a million miles  And when he'd bend a note  A tear would fill my eyes  Where are you playin'  Mr. Bluesman  Mr. Bluesman  I've paid some dues  Now I make my living as a music man  I play the blues  I guess the blues must be just what I am  A graveyard full of scars  His life will paint his songs  'Cause when you're on the road  There's nowhere you belong  You're just alone  Where are you playin'  Mr. Bluesman  Mr. Bluesman  He's seen a thousand roads  He's been a million miles  And when he'd bend a note  A tear would fill my eyes  Where are you playin'  Mr. Bluesman  Mr. Bluesman
