They tried to get me in trouble
They told me I should quit
They took away my best friend
They even tried to silence me
But I'm still working
Yeah, I'm still playing the blues
And if you ask me what I see for the future
I’ll be playin’ the blues for sure

Somebody said I'm crazy
Somebody sent me medicine
Many folks told me
I couldn’t go on like this
But I'm still working
Yeah, I'm still playing the blues
And if you ask me what I see for the future
I’ll be playin’ the blues for sure

You can take everything from me
You can dig a hole to push me in alive
You can play a bunch of spells on me
But my mojo is on my side
And I'm still working
Yeah, I'm still playing the blues
And if you ask me what I see for the future
You know, I’ll be playin’ the blues for sure

They tried to get me in trouble
They told me I should quit
They took away my best friend
They even tried to silence me
But I'm still working
Yeah, I'm still playing the blues
And no matter how old I am
I’ll be playin’ the blues for sure
