There\'s nothing more honest
Than moanin the blues
One man, one guitar
His life one big muse
Tapping that foot
And plucking a tune
\'My baby gone and left me
She done me no good\'
It\'s simple, it\'s easy
It\'s straight to the point
No flashy jazz standard
To distract and disjoint
The blues my companion
Over the years
It\'s helped me through troubles
And plenty of tears
You see the thing about blues
Is it\'s the great healer
And once I\'m done singing
I always feel better
Blues my companion
My one true friend
You\'ll always be with me
Right til the end
And when im done dying and take my last breath
You\'ll be singing me to heaven
To meet me right there
