The first time I met the blues

People, you know I was walkin' down through the woods

Yes, the first time I met the blues

You know, you know I was walkin' down through the woods



You stopped by my house first, Mister Blues

And blues, you didn't do me much good

You, should have heard me beggin'

Blues, don't murder me



Aw, you, you should have heard me begging

Mister blues, don't you murder me

You know, you be with me every morning, Mister Blues

I just got to know what you want with me



Ah, good morning, good morning, Mister Blues

I'd like to know what you're doing here so soon



Good morning, good morning, good morning

Good morning, good morning, Mister blues

I wonder, I wonder what you're doin' here so soon



You'll be with me every morning, Mister blues

You'll be here every night and every noon



Yeah, Mister Lenny Picket ladies and gentleman

Let's give Len a big hand
