Verse 1
C
Well,
everybody's askin' me
why sing the blues
They're lookin' for a Hollywood sign
Ain't no little woman from way up north
Can understand the soul of the blue ones
Well, but let me tell you something
That you don't know
From the dust of this earth we were born
And when he made us good God
He made strong emotion
And you breathe into each body,
your soul
Well, well, when you're
And your mama calls you crazy

He breathed into each

It ain't your dress up to there
F
C
No, the blues ain't a hat that you wear
It's the heart that he gave us
And the legs that he fought
For walking on that long and dusty road
Come on, children
So let me tell you something
That you don't know
From the dust of this earth we were born
And when he gathered up the dry bones
From the floor of the valley

He breathed into each body a soul

Relax just a little, oh yeah

Let it play
Do do do do do do
Say that slow muddy water
Do do do do do do

Hey do do do do do
