When I die, they'll bury the blues with me. But the blues will never die.
It's never hard to sing the blues. Everyone in the world has the blues . . .
No matter what you got, the blues is there
Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it.
My style is all to myself.
All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.
