| There are sad things There are bad things, the blues When they threaten, start betting, you'll lose. You hide yourself behind a prayer The blues'll come and they'll find you there I mean the blues, they call Pete Kelly's Blues There's no exit. You can try the blues If you're born with, you will die with the blues Think what you choose: that happy dream is yours they say. If you can pay the dues That's why I'm stuck with, fresh outta luck with the blues There's no exit. None you can try with the blues. See if you're born with, you gotta die with the blues Think what you choose: That happy dream is yours they say. If you can pay the dues That's why I'm stuck with, Do outta luck wit the blues Some call 'em Pete Kelly's Blues You call them anything you choose, I call them blues |
