That's What The Blues Is All About (Single Version)

That's What The Blues Is All About - Albert King

Oh you come home one evenin'

To nothin' but the four walls

And then ya find your phone been disconnected

You can't even make no call

Ya hung out for your baby

Oh an' she's not there

You look in the closet buddy

An' you find it's all bare

Oh that's what the blues is people

That's what the blues is all about

Well that's a hard pill you have to swallow um

When you find what the blues is all about

Now listen to this

I went out to my backyard

Ya know I whistled for my dog

He ran up under the house people

Like he didn't even know me at all

Now I hadn't fed him in two or three days

An' he was lookin' kinda thin

Oh when your dog turn his back on ya buddy

You know ya haven't even got a friend

That's the blues people

That's what the blues is all about

Oh it's a hard pill to swallow um

When ya find out what the blues is all about

Oh look out Uh

Oh no I think I got 'em

I went out to my mail box

I got a bunch-a bills that I can't pay

I guess my wife been out shoppin' again

While I been at work all day

I see the man comin' with his tools

Now is he gonna cut off my water

You know they got my gas yesterday

An' they comin' right back for the lines tomorrow

Ah that's what the blues is people

That's what the blues is all about

Oh that's a hard pill to swallow buddy

When you find out what the blues is all about
