"Born With The Blues" lyrics - GEORGE THOROGOOD

From my childhood where I am now
I ain't gonna worry, I'll get by somehow
My momma had 'em, my daddy had 'em, too
I was born with the blues

I'll tell you somethin'
Friend it ain't no joke
I would'nt take my past life

For my weight in gold
My momma had 'em, my daddy had 'em, too
I was born with the blues

I'd use my guitar for my pillow
Hollow logs would be within' my bed
Blues, my only companion
I had to sing the blues for my meat and bread

Ooh yes, I want you to know
I began to roam
Ooh roam, I come from a broken home
My momma had 'em, my daddy had 'em, too
I was born with the blues

Don't believe I'm singin'
Just look what a hole I'm in
Don't believe I love you
But what a fool I've been

But I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news
I am livin' with the blues

No, I...

Rocks was my mother and father's pillow, oh yes
Cold ground had to be their beds
Blue skies was their blanket
And the moonlight was their spread, oh yes

You think I'm happy
But you don't know my mind
Smile on my face
My heart's bleeding all the time
But I'm not ashamed
Aiin't that news
I was born with the blues...
