Oh you come home one eveâ²nin'
To nothinâ² but the four walls
And then ya find your phone been disconnected
You can't even make no call
Ya hung out for your baby, oh, an'sheâ²s not there
You look in the closet, buddy, anâ²you find it's all bare
Oh, thatâ²s what the blues is people
That's what the blues is all about
Well thatâ²s a hard pill to have to swallow, um!
When you find what the blues is all about
Now listen to this:
I went out to my backyard
Ya know I whistled for my dog (3 whistle sounds)
He ran up under the house, people
Like he didn't even know me at all
Now I hadnâ²t fed him in two or three days
An' he was lookin' kinda thin
Oh, when your dog turn his back on ya, buddy
You know ya havenâ²t even got a friend
Thatâ²s the blues, people
That's what the blues is all about
Oh itâ²s a hard pill to swallow, um!
When ya find out what the blues is all about
Oh, look out!
Uh!
Oh no!
I think I got 'em!
I went out to my mail box
I got a bunch-a bills that I canâ²t pay
I guess my wife been out shoppin' again
While I been at work all day
I see the man cominâ² with his tools
Now is he gonna cut off my water?
You know they got my gas yesterday
An' they comin' right back for the lines tomorrow
Ah, thatâ²s what the blues is people
Thatâ²s what the blues is all about
Well that's a hard pill to swallow, buddy
Oh, when you find out what the blues is all about
