These Blues Are Here To Stay (6:22)

It came up the Mississippi,
Made a home in Chicago
Took a train to New York city,
And now the whole world's in the know
It's heard in jazz, it's heard in rock'n’roll
And just about everything, that's played with soul

It’s staring from the bottom,
Of an empty glass
It’s the heartaches and the sorrows,
Everybody has
It's heard in jazz, it's heard in rock’n’roll
And just about everything, that's played with soul

Each and every night
All across the USA
All around the world
Every single day
I think it's fair to say
These blues are here to stay

It’s the empty bed,
Where your baby used to lay
It’s the crying sound,
When you hear that guitar play
It's heard in jazz, it's heard in rock’n’roll
And just about everything, that's played with soul
