作曲：Brownie Mcghee

From my childhood

Where I am now

I ain't gonna worry I'll get by somehow

My momma had 'em daddy had 'em too

I was born with the blues

I'll tell you somethin'

Friend it ain't no joke

I wouldn't take my past life

For my weight in gold

My momma had 'em daddy had 'em too

I was born with the blues

Whohooh

I'd use my guitar for my pillow

Hollow logs is even been my bed

Blues my only companion

I had to sing the blues for my meat and bread

Oh yes

I want you to know

I began to Roam

Oh old Brownie come from a broken home

My momma had 'em daddy had 'em too

I was born with the blues

Whohooh

If you've ever been down

You know how I feel

Feel like an Indian ain't got no drivin' wheel

But I'm not ashamed ain't that news

I've been livin' with the blues

Whohooh

Don't believe I'm sinkin' look what a hole I'm in

Don't believe I love you

But look what a fool I've been

But I'm not ashamed ain't that news

I've been livin' with the blues

Because rocks was my mother and father's pillow

Kick it

Cold ground had to be their bed

Blue skies was their blanket

And the moonlight was their spirit

Oh yes

You think I'm happy but you don't know my mind

Smile on my face my heart's bleedin' all the time

But I'm not ashamed ain't that news

I've been livin' with the blues

Whohooh

I said rocks was my mother and father's pillow

Yeah

Cold ground had to be their bed

Blue skies was their blanket

And the moonlight was their spirit

Oh yes

Look all summer slave on the phone

Have to take your Christmas and your overalls

But I'm not ashamed ain't that news

I've been livin' with the blues

My momma had 'em daddy had 'em too

I was born with the blues

I'm not ashamed oh no friends ain't that another news

Me and old Sonny's got the blues

Hey hey hey
