"The Blues Is Alive And Well" lyrics - BUDDY GUY

When I walked through the front door
I swear I heard the back door slam
I got a sneaking suspicion
You've got another man

[Chorus 1:]
You've done me wrong
Our love is dead and gone
But as far as I can tell
The blues is alive and well

Said you was visiting your sister
On the south side of town
But your sister called this morning
Said you never came around

[Chorus 2:]
Yeah she's doing me wrong
Our love is dead and gone
But as far as I can tell
The blues is alive and well

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've been hurtin' this way
For so damn long
Misery and pain
Still comin' on strong

[Chorus 3:]
As long as I am breathin'
And my heart's still beatin'
I got my story to tell
I know the blues is alive and well

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've been hurtin' this way
For so damn long
Misery and pain
Still comin' on strong

[Chorus 3:]
As long as I am breathin'
And my heart's still beatin'
I got my story to tell
I know the blues is alive and well

[Chorus 3:]
As long as I am breathin'
And my heart's still beatin'
I got my story to tell
As long as I'm around the blues is alive and well, yes it is

[Outro:]
Blues
Good mornin', Mr. Blues
My friends told me before they died
"Keep the blues alive"
