"When The Blues Are Bad" lyrics - JOHN MAYALL & THE BLUESBREAKERS

If you got a reason and you feel lowdown
Start believin', take a look around
A cheatin' lady or a lack of cash
Someone goin' round talking trash

Put yourself in my shoes
Put your faith in the blues
'Cos when the blues are real bad
You know they got to be good for you

A rhythm for beatin' all your aches and pains
The power of healin' comin' round again
Ease your worries and you'll get your kicks
Rockin' pianos and guitar licks

Gather round me, try to understand
Nothin' better than a rockin' band
Got the boogie woogie and rock and roll
Nothin' better to free your soul

Put yourself in my shoes
Put your faith in the blues
'Cos when the blues are real bad
You know they got to be good for you
