The first time I met the blues 
People, you know I was walkin', I was walkin' down through the woods 
Yes, the first time, the first time I met you, blues 
Blues you know I was walkin', I was walkin' down through the woods 
Yes, I've watched my house burnin' blues 
Blues, you know you done me, you done me all the harm that you could 
The blues got after me 
People, you know they ran me from tree to tree 
Yes, the blues got after me 
Blues, you know you ran me, ran me from tree to tree 
Yes, you should-a heard me beg ya, blues 
Ah, blues, don't murder me 
Yes, good mornin', blues 
Blues, I wonder, I wonder what you're doin' here so soon 
Yes, good mornin', good mornin', good mornin', mister blues 
Blues, I wonder, I keep wonderin' what you're doin' here so soon 
Yes, you know you'll be with me every mornin', blues 
Every night and every noon 
Oh, yeah
