A Touch Of The Blues

by Deadric Malone recording of 19 from, I said it wasn't long ago, I was doing real good Don't you know my baby was acting, like a sweet girl should But she found another, whoa Lord, and I got the news And now I'm here suffering, from a touch of the blues My friends say I look bad, and I guess they are right I can't eat or sleep, no no baby I toss and turn all night, my eyes are al red Whoa Lord, and I'm dragging my shoes But I'm not really worried, no, no, baby It's just a touch of the blues I went to see my doctor, but he said I was alright I didn't get a prescription, just some good advice He said to forget you, whoa Lord, and stop being your fool If you wanted to lose this touch of the blues Oh, I guess time will ease this pain in my heart Then I'll find a new lover baby, oh Lord, and make a brand new start Then I'll hope that she'll love me, oh Lord, and always be true And don't leave me here suffering, with a touch of the blues
