I wonder how to drive the blues away I wonder how to drive the blues away Even when it's gone, it comes back some cold rainy day Woke up this morning, blues all around my bed Woke up this morning, blues all around my bed You guessed it, blues stayed from early 'til late Blues shows up in the winter, blues shows up in the summertime Blues shows up in the winter, blues shows up in the summertime You can't get over it, and there ain't no need in tryin' The blues remains silent if you're in for some real bad luck The blues remains silent if you're in for some real bad luck But with a small glimpse of hope, the blues will catch you up So why hurry if the blues catches you anyhow Why hurry if the blues catches you anyhow Ain't no use to sit and wonder why if you don't know by now Out on the street, blues greeted me like a long gone friend Out on the street, blues greeted me like a long gone friend Now it's blues and me, walking hand in hand
