Oh, there's got to be a change Things just can't stay the same If I got any worse off I'd have myself to blame I've played the blues so long now There ain't nothin' left for me to do I just can't give it up If I do my life would be through Well now I've been to Kentucky, Chicago too
All over St. Louis, ain't nothin' left to do, baby But I'll play the blues for you, yes I will Well I've been down to Texas To the international revenue I ain't got no money now, honey now Ain't nothin' left to do Well I'll play the blues for you
