Try your pills and powders
Take your drugs of every kind
Try your luck with liquor
Try your luck with beer and wineYou can try
Try it any way that you choose
You can try it if you want to
But it's no use runnin' from the bluesYou tried to throw a party
And the invitations read
All your friends invited
But the blues showed up insteadYou can try
Try it any way that you choose
You can try it if you want to
But it's no use runnin' from the bluesYou flown down to Jamaica
And you walked on off the plane
Blues stepped up to greet ya
And he smiled and shook your handYou can try
Try it any way that you choose
You can try it if you want to
But it's no use runnin' from the bluesIt ain't no superstition, child
The blues is really real
Get yourself together
Got to deal with how you feelYou can try, try and
Try it any way that you choose
You can try it if you want
But it ain't no use runnin' from the blues
