Once I had a woman, she satisfied my soul
Though her beauty was a fairytale
She was always Dont's and Do's
But the worst thing my friends
She didn't like the Blues.
You know I've been through rough times,
she wouldn't let me play
She didn't want no guitar
Nor the harp was ok
But I know deep inside me
There will be justice one day.
One day she told me, "Honey I got bad news"
You know one day she told me,
"My sweet love I got bad news"
"I've done some serious thinking myself..."
"And it is me or the Blues..."
Oh woman!
Why are you doin' this to me?
Oh darlin'! Why are you doin' this to me?
It is you that I love,
But it's the Blues that set me free...
So I guess I'm gonna say...
It's the Blues that I choose
I'm sorry little babe,
But it's the Blues that I choose between you and the Blues!
