in every blues city there's a station
a blues man told me and I know that's true
in every blues city there's a station
a blues man told me and I know that's true
but I damn know quite well that
in every other city there is a station too

every bluseman 's lost his baby
I think that's why they are blue
every bluseman 's lost his baby
I think that's why they are blue
and I'm sure that if I would act like one
I'd loose my baby too

so if you want to loose your baby
and live all your life alone
if you like to write sad letters
and spend hours on the phone
when you like to be depressive
and you feel like crying too
if your future is collapsing
and there's nothing left to do

then do the blues

when blue mondays are your favorites
and you don't like to go to work
if your job is total boring
and you often go berserk
if your boss is allways yelling
and you can't do nothing good
if you're a two left handed type
I swear you're in the mood

to do the blues

if nobody understands you
your old friends say you're a bore
your own mother and your father
showing you where is the door
when you try to talk to people
but end up all on your own
when your dog even starts a howlin
then you've got it to the bone

you are the blues
