Grew up in the Mississippi delta
In a shotgun shack
Washboard for my pillow
‘Til the tax man took that back
Moved out on my own
I was just eight years old … top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I’ve got the blues more than you do … blues
When I was an itty-bitty baby
I was my mama’s only surviving son
She used my head as a washrag
I thought it was fun
Walked to school upway both ways
With no legs … top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I’ve got the blues more than you do … blues
Got so drunk the other night I couldn’t find my way home
Had to have a blind man show me
When I finally did get there,
My own dog had disowned me
A womam in a bar just looks at me and coughed and said
"I don’t even know you, but I wish you’d die off" … top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I’ve got the blues more than you do … blues

I’ve Got The Blues More Than You Do Blues
