I Got the Blues

Honey, I got so much trouble
Some say it's my middle name.
When my troubles come you run babe
But I love you just the same.

I got the blues now girl.
I got the blues real bad.
But it doesn't get me down girl
'Cause it's all I ever had.

I went down to Memphis
To see a friend I know.
He said "(name)  listen, let me ask ya
Can ya spare a little dough"

I'm broke and I am broken,
I got the blues real bad.
I get sad when I think about
All the things that I once had.

Well, I gave him my last dollar
And fifty cents as well.
Now I'm broke and feelin low down
And my life's a living hell.

I got the blues now girl;
I got the blues real bad.
Seems like every night I go to sleep
Ain't been nothin made me glad.

Ain't got no damn computer
To play the dating game.
When my troubles come you run girl
But I love you just the same.

I got the blues now girl;
I got the blues real bad.
And when it comes to lovin you,
You're the best I ever had.

I tell ya girl
You're the best I ever had.
