Sometimes I'd sing the blues when I know I should be prayin'
Sometimes I'd sing the blues when I know I should be prayin'
'Fore I share the world's troubles, it's why I feel this way

I wake up some mornin' feel like I wanna cry
I began to sing the blues, yes, to ease my worried mind
I was born with emotions and a song was in my soul

Another part of my story, it may never be told
If I only knew when my trouble would end
If I only knew when my trouble would end
I'd kiss bad luck goodbye and start all over again
