Born With The Blues

歌詞

Dad was my hero, God called him away Mama was lonely and I was afraid With no one to lean on I turned to the booze Hard times come early when you're born with the blues Railroads were leaving, and airplanes were in A great war was brewing, about to begin Hungry and lonesome, nothing to lose Raised in a boxcar and born with the blues Born with the blues, trouble in mind Smoking and drinking, by the time I was 9 In debt from the start, still paying my dues Crazy and lonely, and born with the blues In spite of the cocaine, in spite of it all God gave me a woman to cushion the fall You're like Paul of the Bible: spreading good news A man on a journey born with the blues Born with the blues, trouble in mind Smoking and drinking, by the time I was 9 In debt from the start, still paying my dues Crazy and lonely and born with the blues Crazy and lonely and born with the blues
