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
