set down where it sets you
Have a good time if it lets you
But look out now, cause if it gets you
Country music's inclined to be witty
Cajun waltz can be mighty pretty
Yes, but when you're alone in the city
Cos if it walks like the blues
Talks and squawks like the blues
The chances are that's the blues
And if it won't let go your mind
And you find you wind up in
It's got to, it's got to,
It's got to, it's got to,
It's got to be the blues for me
I said it's got to, it's got to,
It's got to, it's got to,
It's got to be the blues for me you
You can sit down where it sets you
Have a good time if it lets you
But watch out now, cause if it gets you
A pop song can amuse you,
sometimes a jazz can confuse you
But if it ignites your fuse,
you know you got the blues
Cause if it walks like the blues,
talks and squawks like the blues
The chances are that's the blues
And if it won't let go your mind
and you find you wind up in
It's got to, it's got to,
I said it's got to, it's got to,
It's got to, it's got to,
It's got to be the blues,
it's got to be the blues for me
Oh yeah, it's got to, it's got to,
It's got to, it's got to,
It's got to be the blues,
it's got to be the blues for me
