I've been down so long
Ever since I was the age of ten
I've been down so long
Ever since I was the age of ten
I've been playin' these blues
I've been playin' them ever since then
Let me tell you people
You see the blues ain't so bad
Can I tell you people
You know the blues ain't so bad
Every time I play these blues
When they make me feel so glad
Now I'm grown, grown, grown
Grown and in my prime
Yes I'm grown, grown, grown
Grown and in my prime
Every time I play my blues
It makes me feel so fine
