Living With the Blues - Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

Rocks is my pillow, cold ground my bed

Blue sky is my blanket, moonlight’s my spread

I’m not ashamed, ain’t that news, I’ve been living with the blues

You ever been down?

You know how I feel

Feel like an engine, ain’t got no driving wheel

I’m not ashamed, ain’t that news, I’ve been living with the blues

Rocks have been my pillow, cold ground has been my bed

Blue skies have been my blanket, and the moonlight’s been my spread

Oh, yes

You ever been down?

You know how I feel

Feel like an engine, ain’t got no driving wheel

I’m not ashamed, ain’t that news, I’ve been living with the blues

Rocks have been my pillow, cold ground has been my bed

Blue skies have been my blanket, and the moonlight’s been my spread

Oh, yes

Don’t believe I’m sinking, look what a hole I’m in

Don’t believe I love you, look what a fool I’ve been

I’m not ashamed, ain’t that news, I’ve been living with the blues
