If you`re wonderin` 
What`s all the noise 
I`m in the backroom 
With the girls and boys 
Were` discussing the blues 
And they don`t seem to see 
The blues is all I play 
The blues don`t bother me 

When I was a little boy 
Sittin` on my papa`s knee 
I coulden`t a been no older than two or three 
He said I am a blues man 
You`re gonna take after me 
After me 
The blues is my companion 
The blues don`t bother me 
They don`t bother me 
No they don`t 


When I go to bed at night 
I`ll throw on a record or two 
If I didn`t have these blues 
I woulden`t know what to do 
I need them to soothe me 
To ease my misery 
The blues is my companion 
They don`t bother me 
They don`t bother me 
The blues don`t bother me 
They don`t bother me 
keeps me company 
I got the blues 
Relieves my misery 
Keeps me company 
The blues don`t bother me 
I got the blues
