If you're wonderin'   What's all the noise   I'm in the backroom   With the girls and boys   Were' discussing the blues   And they don't seem to see   The blues is all I play   The blues don't bother me      When I was a little boy   Sittin' on my papa's knee   I coulden't a been no older than two or three   He said I am a blues man   You're gonna take after me   After me   The blues is my companion   The blues don't bother me   They don't bother me   No they don't         When I go to bed at night   I'll throw on a record or two   If I didn't have these blues   I woulden't know what to do   I need them to soothe me   To ease my misery   The blues is my companion   They don't bother me   They don't bother me   The blues don't bother me   They don't bother me   keeps me company   I got the blues   Relieves my misery   Keeps me company   The blues don't bother me   I got the blues
