Lonnie Johnson - Devil's Got The Blues (1938) lyrics

Your rating:

Good mornin' blues, where have you been so long?

Good mornin' blues, where have you been so long?

I just stopped by to leave you enough of worries to last you while I'm gone.



My brains is cloudy, my soul is upside down.

My brains is cloudy, my soul is upside down.

When I get that lowdown feelin', I know the blues must be somewhere close aroun'.



The blues is like a devil, it comes on you like a spell.

The blues is like the devil, comes on you just like a spell.

Blues ‘ll leave your heart full of trouble and your po' mind full of hell.



Some people say there's no blues, but that story ‘s old and stale.

Some people say there's no blues, but that story ‘s old and stale.

The blues will drive you to drink and murder, and spend the rest of your life in jail.



The blues and the devil is your closest friends.

Blues and the devil is your two closest friends.

The blues will leave you with murder in your mind, that's when the devil out of hell steps in.
