Píseň: I Am the Blues

Interpret:
Muddy Waters
Album:
After the Rain
I am, ohh i am the blues.
I know the world knows ive been mistreated
And the whole world know ive been misused
I am the moan of suffering women
I am the groan of dying men
I am the last one to start
But i am the first one to begin
Ohh i am, ohh i am the blues
Ooh world knows ive been mistreated
the whole world knows ive been misused
I am the blood of peoples wounds, who play and die
I am the the last one to hide
I am the first one to find
Ohh i am ohh i am the blues
The world knows ive been mistreated
The whole world knows ive been used
Well boys somebody help me.
I am the new generation
A prodigy of starvation
I am the arm beyond the door friend
For a new new night and nation
Yeah the world knows i been mistreated
The world knows ive been mistreated
The whole world knows ive been misused
I am the blues
Oh friends i am the blues
I am friends i am the blues
Yeah the world know i been mistreated
The whole world know i been used.
