"Blues Why Do You Worry Me" lyrics - ELVIN BISHOP & CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE

Blues, why do you worry me
Why do you stay so long?
Blues, why do you worry me
Why do you stay so long?
Came to me yesterday
You stayed the whole night long

I wouldn't listen to my people
My friends or nobody else
I wouldn't listen to my people
My friends or nobody else
I had to make mistakes in life
I had to learn it all for myself
(Alright, Elvin)

I used to drink to keep from worryin'
Now I ride from town to town
I used to drink to keep from worryin'
Now I ride from town to town
Don't the highway look lonesome
When the sun is sinkin' down?

Well now, life's been tough
But I never had the heart to cry
You know, life's been tough
But I never had the heart to cry
You know blues don't kill me, boys
I wasn't intended to die

I learned to smile at trouble
I won't let it get me down
I learned to smile at trouble
I won't let it get me down (no way)
I'll keep on keepin' on
'Til the last deal goes down
(I ain't lyin')
