Blues is my best friend
And my worst enemy too
Blues is my best friend
And my worst enemy too
I wouldn't wish it on nobody
Especially on you


You wanna be my lover baby
There's something you should know
Well you wanna be my lover
There's something you should know
Blues is my best friend
Don't say I didn't tell you so


Oh I'll give you all my lovin
On that you can depend
Oh I love you from the start
And where my story ends
Well the lord may be my shepherd
But the blues is my best friend
