Never Had The Blues
Well, I woke up this morning,
and I never had the blues,
even though the wind was from the east,
and it was bad on the news.
I am not broken hearted,
and I never have been poor.
Nobody treated me badly,
I’ve never been shown the door.
My woman never left me,
and she never let me down.
Live on the right side of the tracks,
not the wrong side of the town.
Till the late of the evening,
I lend my ears to the blues.
Got a really good collection
for a ragtime river cruise.
Well, I’m not at the station,
I don’t need to catch a train.
I don’t hear that lonesome whistle,
nor does my soul peel with pain.
My father’s not a drunkard,
did not lose his life to booze,
and my mother never left me,
so I never had the blues.
