If Them Blues Lyrics

If the blues is a bottle, then I'm not getting very far
If the blues is a bottle, then I'm not getting very far
You can keep all your whiskey,
Just give me back that old shiny guitar

If the blues is a sinner, then why am I standing high and dry
If the blues is a sinner, then why am I standing high and dry
Is anybody here gonna save me
Or do I really really have to cry

If the blues is a woman, then I want some more
If the blues is a woman, then I want some more
If the blues is a woman, then I really want some more

If the blues is made of sorrow, then why does it smile on me
If the blues is made of sorrow, then why does it smile on me
I'm a brown man from a strange land
But it sure is the colour of my misery
