When my baby leaves me
there is nothing I can do
I pick up my guitar
and then I play a little blues or two
now, a man needs some loving
I ain't different from the rest
my baby, when she leaves me
ah my whole life is in a mess
just me and my guitar
I play the blues for you babe
no matter where you are

I like to start out easy
just to get that feel
when I fell me strange
you know I make it for real
then I put some hots on it
and I play a time or two
and love you baby
and I don't care what you do
babe
I play the blues for you babe
no matter where you are
alright

listen to me:
satisfaction don't come easy
you got to get in to make it good
the way I make my guitar singing
just let my woman should
she never talk right to me
like some woman do
I feel so sad and lonesome
when I play this lowdown blues
hey
hey me and my guitar
I play the blues for you babe
no matter where you are
alright

hey baby,
hey baby, just me and my guitar
I play the blues for me baby
no matter where you are
