Pete Kelly's Blues (Remastered)

They're a sad thing,

They're a bad thing,

The blues,

When they threaten,

Just start bettin'

You'll lose.

You hide yourself

Behind a prayer,

The blues will come

And find you there.I feel the blues,

They're called Pete Kelly's Blues,

Bad news!

There's no exit,

You can't drive away 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 out of luck with,

The blues,

Pete's Blues,

Pete Kelly's blues,

Pete Kelly's blues.
