Messin' the Blues

Well I've been down so long that I can't get up

Drink my life from an empty cup

I ain't taking no messin' from the likes of you

There ain't no messin' now mess with the blues

Messin' the blues, messin' the blues

Mess up the blues, messin' the bluesWell lonely days and lonely nights

To tell your honey that it just ain't right

Well baby, baby don't let me be blue

'Cause there ain't no messin' like messin' the blues

Messin' the bluesFine little belly got a gleam in my eye

Ask no questions and I get no lies

I ain't no angel but I end up used

Down, down, down with the blues, down with the blues

Dealin' the blues, dealin' the blues
