Humdrum Blues - Oscar Brown, Jr.

Life can be mighty monotonous

We’re always battlin' boredom

Where, tell me where has it gotten us?

Everything’s still so doggone hum-drum!

Stuck in a rut, gettin' nowhere fast!

Mmmm-mmm, hum-drum blues!

Fightin' the future and mad at the past!

Mmmm-mmm, hum-drum blues!

Ooh honey

When you ain’t got money

Then you just can’t do as you choose;

Just gotta live with the hum-drum blues!

Each day just like the day before!

Mmmm-mmm, hum-drum blues!

Work like a dog but I’m always poor!

Mmmm-mmm, hum-drum blues!

Oh buddy

It’ll drive you nutty

When you find yourself in my shoes

Stumblin' along with the hum-drum blues!

Don’t know which way I’m goin'

I don’t know which way I come from!

Rainin', a shine or a-snowin'

Everything’s so doggone hum-drum!

Love me honey, I wish you would!

Mmm-hmmm, hum-drum blues!

Sure would do me a world o' good

Mmm-mmm, hum-drum blues!

Oooh baby

If you love me, maybe

We could get together and lose

These mean old, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, a-humdrum blues!
