I guess my wife been out shoppin' again
You know they got my gas yesterday
Now I hadn't fed him in two or three days
You can't even make no call
Like he didn't even know me at all
Ya know I whistled for my dog
Oh, an' she's not there
An' you find it's all bare
That's the blues, people
And then ya find your phone been disconnected
I got a bunch-a bills that I can't pay
Ah, that's what the blues is people
You look in the closet, buddy
An' he was lookin' kinda thin
While I been at work all day
I went out to my backyard
Oh, that's what the blues is people
He ran up under the house, people
Now is he gonna cut off my water?
Well that's a hard pill you have to swallow, um!
I went out to my mail box
When you find what the blues is all about
Oh no! I think I got 'em!
That's what the blues is all about
Now listen to this
Oh, look out! Uh!
I see the man comin' with his tools
Ya hung out for your baby
That's what the blues is all about
Oh it's a hard pill to swallow, um!
An' they comin' right back for the lines tomorrow
That's what the blues is all about
You know ya haven't even got a friend
Oh, when your dog turn his back on ya, buddy
When ya find out what the blues is all about
Oh, that's a hard pill to swallow, buddy
