Blues So Bad - Levon Helm, The RCO All-Stars

Blues so bad I can’t take 'em

Blues so bad I can’t shake 'em

Blues so bad that I hurry

To find a place just to worry

I try to drown 'em in drink

But what do you think

The blues can swim

They don’t sink

Blues so bad I don’t try

Blues so bad I wanna die

Blues so bad that I roll 'em

Blues so bad that I told 'em

My favorite joke

I try to give 'em a toke

But the blues don’t burn

They just smoke

Blues so bad I look slouchy

Blues so bad I feel grouchy

Blues so bad I ain’t even

The blues so bad that I’m leavin'

I try to get 'em to blow

But what do you know

The blues still come

They don’t go
