Pete Kelly's Blues Lyrics

There are sad things
There are bad things, the blues
When they threaten
Start betting you'll loseYou hide yourself behind a prayer
The blues'll come and they'll find you there
I mean the blues they call Pete Kelly's BluesThere's no exit
You can try the blues
If you're born with
You will die with the blues
Think what you choose
That happy dream is yours they say
If you can pay the dues
That's why I'm stuck with
Fresh outta luck with the bluesThere's no exit
None you can try with the blues
See if you're born with
You gotta die with the blues
Think what you choose

That happy dream is yours they say
If you can pay the dues
That's why I'm stuck with
So outta luck wit the blues
