Phew
Oh, no
Mm-hm
Oh no, oh, no
Young people
Young people say that they don't like the blues
But you and I both know that that's not really true
Let me tell y'all that say, that you don't understand
I guarantee you will someday
You might as well make your plan
You won't be ashamed to sing the blues
And I'm not ashamed, oh, Lord, to sing the blues
Oh, no
Young people say, that the blues is really dumb
But they just don't know exactly where they're coming from
But you just wait 'til your heart is all tangled up inside
You'll be singing the blues with tears all in your eyes
Don't be ashamed
Oh Lord, don't be ashamed to sing the blues
And I'm not ashamed, oh Lord, I'm not ashamed to sing the blues
No, I'm not, oh, no
Listen, now you've heard my story
And I hope you understand the blues is gonna get you
You're playing a losing hand
Let's keep on living and laughing, failing and achieving
Laughing and crying
Leaving and grieving
Oh Lord, you won't be ashamed
No, you won't be ashamed
To sing the blues, yeah
To sing the blues like Bobby
I'm not ashamed, oh no, oh no
I'm not ashamed to sing the blues
