Oh, there`s got to be a change
Things just can`t stay the same
If I got any worse off
I`d have myself to blame
I`ve played the blues so long now
There ain`t nothin` left for me to do
I just can`t give it up
If I do my life would be through
Well now I`ve been to Kentucky, Chicago too
All over St. Louis, ain`t nothin left to do baby
But I`ll play the blues for you, yes I will
Well I`ve been down to Texas
To the international revenue
I ain`t got no money now, honey now
Ain`t nothin` left to do
Well I`ll play the blues for you
