I Play The Blues Lyrics by Larry McCray

Blues Without You

2022

>
Been way down under, traveling just for for fun
Walked through the jungle
Then to the land of the rising sun
Ben downhearted, she had my fair share of tears
Playing this music, for all these years
So, I'll play the blues
And it comes from the heart
Keeping it goin' – I said I'm doing my part
So, I'll play the sad blues
Give you all of the bad news
Yes, I'll play the blues that makes you wanna cry
I'll keep on doin' it until the day I die
Till the day I die
No peace, Lord, at the border
Said there's crime in the street
Voice of the children
Cries the sounds of defeat
I've been walking in circles
Seems I'm going nowhere
And I just can't understand it
Cause nobody cares
So, I'll play the blues
And it comes from the heart
Keeping it goin' – Said I'm doing my part
So, I'll play the sad blues
Give you all of the sad news
Yes, I'll play the blues that makes you wanna cry
I'll keep on doin' it until the day
Till the day I die
I'm gonna keep right on doing it until the day
Until the day
That I die… Until the day
Till the very, very, very day… That I die
