Songtexte I Am the Blues - Memphis Slim

I know I'm the blues, no one can doubt me
Whole world just talkin' about me
Because I lived that life
People and I have paid the price

I know I'm the blues, because I'm black
Say what you may, but I know the facts
Don't know who else I may be
But the blues, blues belong to me

When I had plenty money, my friends I could choose
But when I lost all my money, that's when I found the blues
But the thing I wasn't really knowin'
People always help you, the way you goin'
