When my baby leaves me, there is nothing I can do
I pick up my guitar and then I play a little blues or two
Now, a man needs some loving, I ain't different from the rest
My baby, when she leaves me, ah, my whole life is in a messJust me and my guitar
I play the blues for you, babe
No matter where you areI like to start out easy, just to get that feel
When I fell me strange, you know I make it for real
Then I put some hots on it and I play a time or two
And love you, baby, and I don't care what you doBabe, ah, me and my guitar
I play the blues for you, babe
No matter where you are, alright?Listen to me
Satisfaction don't come easy, you got to get in to make it good
The way I make my guitar singing, just let my woman should
She never talk right to me like some woman do
I feel so sad and lonesome when I play this lowdown bluesHey, hey, me and my guitar
I play the blues for you, babe
No matter where you are, alright?Hey, baby, hey, baby, just me and my guitar
I play the blues for me, baby
No matter where you are
