The blues are hanging round my neck all the day

The blues are hanging round my neck all the day

I tell you people all the time

THe blues, they are a close friend of mine

The blues are hanging round my neck all the day.


I'm looking at an empty bottle of wine,

I'm looking at an empty bottle of wine,

I tell you people all the time

My life in that bottle of wine

The blues are hanging round my neck all the day.


Had a wife and children dear to me,

Had a wife and children dear to me,

I tell you people all the time

My life in that bottle of wine

The blues are hanging round my neck all the day.


Waitin for something new to come my way

Waitin for something new to come my way

I tell you people all the time

Nothin come your way with a friend like mine

And the blues are hanging round my neck all the day.
