New Blues

Ooooh Lord have mercy
Its a shame when a blues man
Can't get the twang from his strings.

Shoot, the gravel in his voice its there
But he can't feel no pain.

Seems to me he gots some new blues.

The last time his baby left him, he walked
Away with the sway of an old gray mule.

I seen him go to the church on Sunday mornin'
Wearin' brand new Stacey Adams Shoes .

Um,um, um Lord have mercy
Its a shame when a blues man
Can't get no twang from his strings .

If a gal comes hail or high water
I hope she's sweet and her love is true .

Seems to me he gots some new blues .

"Hey man, I gotta old lady way cross town,
She's so good to me".
