Yeah, it was thunder'n and thunder'n and lightnin'
You know the day this poor boy was born
I ain't never known nothin' but your trouble
You know, your trouble and your hate and scorn
You know my daddy, Lord, he died in a train wreck
Yeah, my momma she was born to lose
You know my middle name is natural born trouble
Yeah. and my last name is the blues
Oh yeah
Yeah, my last name is the blues
yo-hoooo ya-hooo
I see the cold light a comin' from the window
Of your one-forty-thousand-dollar home
Oh yeah. but I dont need you people
Because the blues they was meant to roam
Oh yeah
Yeah. the blues they was meant to roam
Well now, hunger is my companion
Cold and pains they know my cry
Oh yeah
You people you can pray for salvation
Yeah, but the blues don't never die, oh no
Yeah, but the blues dont never die, ooooooh
'Cause it was thunder'n and thunder'n and lightnin'
You know the day this poor boy was born
I ain't never known nothin' but your trouble
You know. your trouble and your hate and scorn
You know my daddy. Lord, he died in a train wreck
You know my momma she died of the blues
You know my middle name is natural born trouble, Lord
And my last name is the blues
Oh yeah
Yeah, my last name it is the blues
yo-hoooo ya-hooo
