Canned Heat - Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive

Tekst piosenki:


I'll never get out these blues alive
I'll never, I'll never, get out with these blues alive
All a-my life, I been doomed with the blues
I'm drinkin' black coffee and smokin' cigarettes
I'm drinkin' back coffee an smokin' cigarettes all night
I know I'll never, I'll never come outta these blues alive
(Tell everybody now, Van)
Never, never, come outta these blues alive
(No, you won't)
If I live to be a hundred
(That's Van Morrison)
I don't think I ever will
I can't understand, just exactly why
I can't understand now, just exactly why
All I know, same thing everyday
You turn on the radio
Hear the same thing ev'ryday
You read a paper
You hear the same thing, ev'ryday
I don't know why, has to be this way
I don't know why
People tell ya, that change is gonna come
Everybody tell you, some change is gonna come
I've been through the third degree
You know what I'm talkin' about
(Guitar solo and instrumental)
Uh, uh
Nothin', nothin', nothin'
I know I'll never, I know I'll never
Get outta these blues for life
L'lI, never, (never, never) never
Come outta the blues, for life
I'm doomed (doomed?)
I'm doomed
I'm doomed with the blues, til I die
Yeah, yeah
Now Van, I'm drinkin' black coffee
(Drinkin' black coffee?)
I started smokin' cigarettes all night
I can't sleep, I can't eat
There is no use of me layin' down
No-no, no-no-no, no-no
Now, Van Morrison, he asked me
He says, 'Johnny, why, why do you sing the blues?'
I say, 'I know I'm doomed, I'm doomed'
But all I know
I sing the blues both night an day
I'll never, never, come out alive yeah, alright
Yeah
Yeah
Ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo
I'm walkin' the floor all night long
Jumpin' over my bed
Jumpin' (jumpin') over my bed (over my bed)
I can't sleep (I can't sleep)
What the use? (can't sleep)
Or lay down, (lay down)
Oh no (in a room)
Ooo-ooo, I got the blues (got the blues)
Got the blues
Got the blues, ha-ha I got 'em (got the blues)
Ooo-ooo (can't sleep)
Ooo-no, no-no, what the use?)
Ooo-ooo
(Never, never) oh, come out the blues
(Get out of these) blues alive (blues alive)
Oh no
(Never, never, never, never) yeah why?
Uh (get out of these) blues alive
No, no
Ooo. (born with the, blues)
(Stay wit' you all your life)
I'm walkin' the floor all night
My baby gone, says she won't be back no more
(No more)
And that' why (look out in the street)
Ooo-ooo-ooo
(I can't find) oh (I can't find my baby)
No where
