Duration: P00H03M18S
Description: "I Am The Blues" was written in 1976 and also sung by Jean Anne. It was later sung by Anna Christine at the Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville in 1986. I myself have sung it fairly recently at open mikes where the late Paul Anders provided percussion. Finally, Keva Shull offers her own unique take on the tune -- an act that will be hard to follow.

lyrics

If you are lost
And you been out in the cold for so long
Don't come a-knockin
If you need to rest your head
Then find another bed
'Cuz I am bad news

And if you're down
You say you're needin a friend to talk to
Just keep your shirt on
And stay away from me
Or you will surely see
That I Am The Blues

I got no sympathy
'Cuz I been around for so many thousand years
I tell you don't think twice
Just take my advice
And pack up your stuff, it's for the better
And don't expect a letter

If you're surprised
That you have no kind of fun when I'm round
Just keep your shirt on
I do this all the time
You might say its my line
Bein the Blues

And when you're finally out the door
I'll make the rain begin to pour
And the moisture through you're body
It will ooze

So if pain and misery
Are not quite your cup of tea
Then please don't mess with me
'Cuz I Am The Blues

Don't get messed up with me
'Cuz I Am The Blues
