The first time I met the blues

People, you know I was walkin' down through the woods


Yes, the first time I met the blues


You know, you know I was walkin' down through the woods




You stopped by my house first, Mister Blues


And blues, you didn't do me much good

You, should have heard me beggin'


Blues, don't murder me




Aw, you, you should have heard me begging


Mister blues, don't you murder me


You know, you be with me every morning, Mister Blues

I just got to know what you want with me





Ah, good morning, good morning, Mister Blues

I'd like to know what you're doing here so soon





Good morning, good morning, good morning

Good morning, good morning, Mister Blues


I wonder, I wonder what you're doin' here so soon




You'll be with me every morning, Mister Blues


You'll be here every night and every noon




Yeah, Mister Lenny Picket ladies and gentleman


Let's give Len a big hand
