The Blues Is Alright - Lucky Peterson, Little Milton

Want you to hear me when I say

That the blues is back

And it’s here to stay

I wanna tell you a story

A story all about the blues

I want you to listen to me baby

While I sing it to you

Want you to hear me when I say

That the blues is back

And it’s here to stay

I used to have me somebody

She mean’t the whole world to me

But she left me for someone else

Left my heart in misery

Yes, she did!

But I knew the day she left me

That the blues was gonna be a part of me

Yes, it was

Since you left me with the blues

It was the last thing I thought I could use

But I’m glad that you left me

Left me with the blues

If you hadn’t given me the blues

I wouldn’t find myself someone sweet as you

And I’m gonna tell you

I said hey, hey, the blues is all right

Hey, hey, the blues is all right

I said hey, hey, the blues is all right

Hey, hey, the blues is all right

All right (all right)

All right (all right)

Every day and night

Here we go Albert!

One more time!

Since you left me with the blues

It was the last thing I thought I could use

But I’m glad that you left me

Left me with the blues

If you hadn’t given me the blues

I wouldn’t find myself someone sweet as you

And I’m gonna sing it

Hey, hey, the blues is all right

Hey, hey, the blues is all right

I said hey, hey, the blues is all right

Hey, hey, the blues is all right

All right (all right)

All right (all right)

Every day and night

I said hey, hey, the blues is all right

Hey, hey, the blues is all right

I said hey, hey, the blues is all right

Hey, hey, the blues is all right

All right (all right)

It’s all right (all right)

Every day and night

One more time!

I said hey, hey, the blues is all right

Hey, hey, the blues is all right

I said hey, hey, the blues is all right

Hey, hey, the blues is all right

It’s all right (all right)

It’s all right (all right)

It’s all right (all right)

It’s all right (all right)

It’s all right every day and every night

Yes, it is!

Want you to hear me when I say

That the blues is back

And it’s here to stay

The blues is all right!
