Lyrics Blues Overtook Me - Charlie Musselwhite

The blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild

When I was a kid, early on my own
I took the highway to be my home

The blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild
I ain't complainin'

Dark and cloudy, I believe it's gonna rain
Makes me wonna hear my baby call my name

The blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild

When you get in trouble, everybody's down on you
The blues'll overtake you, and pull you on through

You know blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild
Just tryin' to have some fun

Hand me down my suitcase, pack up my trunk
I ain't be drinkin', blues made me drunk

The blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild

You might run and try to escape
The blues will overtake you one rainy day

Blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild
That's alright

Yeah, the blues overtook me
I ain't lyin'
