Sometimes I sing the blues
When I know I should be praying
Sometimes I sing the blues
When I know I should be praying
For I share the worlds troubles
Is why I feel this way
I wake up some mornings
Feel like I wanna cry
I begin to sing the blues
Yes, to ease my worried mind
I was born with emotions
And a song was in my soul
Other parts of my story
It may never be told
If I only knew when my trouble would end
If I only knew when my troubles would end
I'd kiss bad luck goodbye
And start all over again
