I hope you never will Well, the blues An achin' old heart disease The blues An achin' old heart disease Like consumption It's k**ing me by degrees I can study the rain Oh, oh, I'll drive my blues, drive it I been studyin' the rain And I wanna drive my blues I'm goin' to the 'stil'ry Stay out there all day long You're gonna do it? Preachin' Tell me 'bout it
