Lyrics: (maybe some mistakes....)

Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee -- Born and Livin' with the Blues

From my childhood where I am now...
I aaaaaaain't gonna worry, I'll get by somehow .
My momma had 'em, my daddy had 'em, too
I -was -born with the blues

I'll tell you somethin'
Friend it ain't no joke
I would'nt take my past life

For my weight in gold
My momma had 'em, my daddy had 'em, too

I was- born with the blues

I'd use my guitar for my pillow

Hollooooow ..logs would be within' my bed

(sonny: oh yes!)

Bluuuuuues, my only companion
I had to sing the blues for my meat and bread

Ooooooh yes, I want you to knooooooow
I-----begaaaaan to roam

Oooooh roam, me, I come from a broken home
My momma had 'em, my daddy had 'em, too

I was born with the blues

(sonny: whaouuuhouh)

Don't believe I'm singin'
Juuuuuust look what a hoooole I'm in
Don't beliiiiiiiiiieve I love you
But what a fool I've been

But I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news
I am livin' with the blues

(sonny: whaouuuhouh)

No, I...

Rocks was my mother and father's pillow, oh yes
Cold ground had to be their beds
Blue skiiiiiiies was their blanket
And the moonlight was their spread

Oooooh yes
You think I'm happy
But you dooooon't know my mind
Smile on my face
My heart's bleeding all the time

But I'm not ashamed
Aiiiiiiin't that news
I was born with the blues,

one more time

I'm not ashaaaaamed, friends,

Oh ain't that a lot of neeeeews
Me and old Sonny's got the blues
