You think that life is full of sunshine
You're breakin' even and payin' your dues
Get ready for the hit, watch your step or you will slip
Heavy blues is gonna fall on you
Voodoo and black magic go together
They cook up like a magic stew
When you think you've got it all
Get ready for the fall
Heavy blues is gonna fall on you
Spread the news, here come the heavy blues
Spread the news, heavy blues is gonna fall on you
We gotta find a road to travel
Find happiness wherever we choose
Just be careful what you want ‘cause it all comes back to haunt
Heavy blues is gonna fall on you
We're playin' cards against the dealer
The odds say we are bound to lose
Your three aces just won't do ‘cause the dealer has four twos
Heavy blues are gonna fall on you
