The Blackest of Blues Lyrics by Grimms

Sleepers

0

Born in Louisiana, wrong side of the track
Brought up by a crip in an old chicken shack
Never knew Pa, and Ma died young
Ain't got no money, but I got the song
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He got...)
The Blackest of Blues
My baby left for a slick city dude
Got seven children, ain't got no food
Shot off my foot—good job I had two
Now I got the blues, gonna sing 'em to you
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He surе knows what the blues are)
(Hе sure knows what the blues are)
(He got...)
The Blackest of Blues
Old chap got run over just the other day
Pigs got pneumonia, chickens won't lay
There's Rats in the bedroom, dead skunk in the well
A cripple in the cupboard, and he's starting to smell
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He got...)
The Blackest of Blues
Fella calls says his all on my land
My troubles are over gonna be a rich man
Rattlesnakes bit me as I put on my shoes
Ain’t no happy ending to my mess of blues
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He sure knows what the blues are)
(He's got...)
The Blackest of Blues
