If you're down and out and you feel real hurt
Come on over to the place where I live
And all your loneliness, I'll try to soothe
I'll play the blues for you

Don't be afraid, come on in
You might run across, yeah, some of your old friends
All your loneliness, I gotta soothe
I'll play the blues for you

I'll play the blues for you
I got no big name, oh Lord, and I ain't no big star
I play the blues for you on my guitar
All your loneliness, I'll try to soothe
I'll play the blues for you
