preachin blues up jumped the devil

Robert Johnson

Mmmmm mmmmm I s up this mornin
ah, blues walkin like a man
I s up this mornin
ah, blues walkin like a man
Worried blues
give me your right hand

And the blues fell mama s child
tore me all upside down
Blues fell mam s child
and it tore me all upside down
travel on, poor Bob
just cain t turn you round
The blu-u-u-u-ues
is a low-down shakin chill
spoken: Yes, preach em now.

Mmmmm mmmmm
is a low-down shakin chill
You ain t never had em, I
I hope you never will
Well, the blues
is a schin old heart disease
spoken: Do it. now.
You gon do it?
Tell me about it.

Let the blues
is a low-down achin heart disease
Like consumption
killing me by degrees
I can study rain
oh, ohm drive, oh, oh, drive my blues
I been studyin the rain and
I m on drive my blues away
Goin to the stil ry
stay out there all day
