    Why I Sing The Blues -B.B.King
    Everybody wants to know
    Why I sing the blues
    Yes,I say everybody wanna know
    Why I sing the blues
    Well,I've been around a long time
    I really have paid my dues
    When I first got the blues
    They brought me over on a ship
    Men were standing over me
    And a lot more with a whip
    And everybody wanna know
    Why I sing the blues
    Well,I've been around a long time
    Mm,I've really paid my dues
    I've laid in a ghetto flat
    Cold and numb
    I heard the rats tell the bedbugs
    To give the roaches some
    Everybody wanna know
    Why I'm singing the blues
    Yes,I've been around a long time
    People,I've paid my dues
    I stood in line
    Down at the County Hall
    I heard a man say
    We're gonna build
    Some new apartments for y'all
    And everybody wanna know
    Yes,they wanna know
    Why I'm singing the blues
    Yes,I've been around a long,long time
    Yes,I've really,really paid my dues
    Now I'm gonna play Lucille
    My kid's gonna grow up
    Gonna grow up to be a fool
    'Cause they ain't got no more room
    No more room for him in school
    And everybody wanna know
    Everybody wanna know
    Why I'm singing the blues
    I say I've been around a long time
    Yes,I've really paid some dues
    Yeah,you know the company told me
    Guess you're born to lose
    Everybody around me,people
    It seems like everybody got the blues
    But I had em a long time
    I've really,really paid my dues
    You know I ain't ashamed of it,people
    I just love to sing my blues
    I walk through the cities,people
    On my bare feet
    I had a fill of catfish and chitterlings
    Up in Downbill Street
    You know I'm singing the blues
    Yes,I really
    I just have to sing my blues
    I've been around a long time
    People,I've really
    Really paid my dues
    Now Father Time is catching up with me
    Gone is my youth
    I look in the mirror everyday
    And let it tell me the truth
    I'm singing the blues
    Mm,I just have to sing the blues
    I've been around a long time
    Yes,yes,I've really paid some dues
    Yeah,they told me everything
    Would be better out in the country
    Everything was fine
    I caught me a bus uptown,baby
    And every people
    All the people
    Got the same trouble as mine
    I got the blues,huh huh
    I say I've been around a long time
    I've really paid some dues
    One more time,fellows
    Blind man on the corner
    Begging for a dime
    The rollers come and caught him
    And throw him in the jail for a crime
    I got the blues
    Mm,I'm singing my blues
    I've been around a long time
    Mm,I've really paid some dues
    Can we do just one more
    Oh I thought I'd go down to the welfare
    To get myself some grits and stuff
    But a lady stand up and she said
    You haven't been around long enough
    That's why I got the blues
    Mm,the blues
    I say,I've been around a long time
    I've really,really paid my dues
    Fellows,tell them one more time
    Ha,ha,ha
    That's all right,fellows
    Yeah
