Dear Blues
now I've paid some dues
This "˜ole guitar of mine has learned how to play
As if it could say"¦
"I know what you've been going through"
Dear blues
Guess the word is out"¦there's a gal I'm "˜bout to lose
I can do without you "bearer of bad news"
Why won't you let me be dear blues
I wasn't able to offer her wealth
"˜Cause all that I had was to give of myself
It's gonna take a toll on my health
When she goes away that's why I say
Dear blues
Nobody wants to wear these shoes
And there's no denying there's no peace to be found
Why must you hang around"¦dear blues
