Born To Live The Blues - Brownie McGhee/Sonny Terry
Written by：Brownie McGhee
From my childhood
Where I am now
I ain't gonna worry I'll get by somehow
My momma had 'em daddy had 'em too
I was born with the blues
I'll tell you somethin'
Friend it ain't no joke
I wouldn't take my past life
For my weight in gold
My momma had 'em daddy had 'em too
I was born with the blues
Whohooh
I'd use my guitar for my pillow
Hollow logs is even been my bed
Blues my only companion
I had to sing the blues for my meat and bread
Oh yes
I want you to know
I began to Roam
Oh old Brownie come from a broken home
My momma had 'em daddy had 'em too
I was born with the blues
Whohooh
If you've ever been down
You know how I feel
Feel like an Indian ain't got no drivin' wheel
But I'm not ashamed ain't that news
I've been livin' with the blues
Whohooh
Don't believe I'm sinkin' look what a hole I'm in
Don't believe I love you
But look what a fool I've been
But I'm not ashamed ain't that news
I've been livin' with the blues
Because rocks was my mother and father's pillow
Kick it
Cold ground had to be their bed
Blue skies was their blanket
And the moonlight was their spirit
Oh yes
You think I'm happy but you don't know my mind
Smile on my face my heart's bleedin' all the time
But I'm not ashamed ain't that news
I've been livin' with the blues
Whohooh
I said rocks was my mother and father's pillow
Yeah
Cold ground had to be their bed
Blue skies was their blanket
And the moonlight was their spirit
Oh yes
Look all summer slave on the phone
Have to take your Christmas and your overalls
But I'm not ashamed ain't that news
I've been livin' with the blues
My momma had 'em daddy had 'em too
I was born with the blues
I'm not ashamed oh no friends ain't that another news
Me and old Sonny's got the blues
Hey hey hey
