First Time I Met the Blues

The first time I met the blues, people, you know I was walkin'

I was walkin' down through the woods

Yes, the first time, the first time I met you, blues

Blues, you know I was walkin', I was walkin' down through the woods

Yes, just stop by my house, burnin' blues

Blues, you know you done me, you done me all the harm that you could

The blues got after me

People, you know they ran me from tree to tree

Yes, the blues got after me

Blues, you know you ran me, you ran from tree to tree

Yes, you shoulda heard me beggin', blues

Ah, blues, don't murder me

Yes, good mornin', blues

Blues, I wonder, I wonder what you're doin' here so soon?

Yes, good mornin', good mornin', good mornin', mister blues

Blues, I wonder, I keep wonderin' what you're doin' here so soon

Yes, you know you'll be with me every morning, blues

Every night and every noon, whoa, yeah
