I Ve Got The Blues More Than You Do Blues lyrics

Grew up in the Mississippi delta
In a shotgun shack
Washboard for my pillow
`Til the tax man took that back
Moved out on my own
I was just eight years old ... top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I`ve got the blues more than you do ... blues

When I was an itty-bitty baby
I was my mama`s only surviving son
She used my head as a washrag
I thought it was fun
Walked to school upway both ways
With no legs ... top that

You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I`ve got the blues more than you do ... blues

Got so drunk the other night I couldn`t find my way home
Had to have a blind man show me
When I finally did get there,
My own dog had disowned me
A woman in a bar just looks at me and coughed and said
`I don`t even know you, but I wish you`d die off` ... top that

You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I`ve got the blues more than you do ... blues
