Dear Blues

Dear blues
You gotta' know I’ve paid some dues
This ‘ole guitar of mine has learned how to play
As if it could say…
«I know what you’ve been going through»
Dear blues
Guess the word is out… there's a gal I’m ‘bout to lose
I can do without you «bearer of bad news»
Why won’t you let me be dear blues
I wasn’t able to offer her wealth
‘Cause all that I had was to give of myself
It’s gonna take a toll on my health
When she goes away that’s why I say
Dear blues
Nobody wants to wear these shoes
And there’s no denying there’s no peace to be found
Why must you hang around… dear blues
