Lyrics to
You Can’t Call The Blues

My name is blues
What d’you want with me
All I have, baby
Is a lot of worry and misery

So I wish that I could help you
But right now, baby
I just can’t help myself

If you need money
All my life I’ve had none
If it costs me to stay
I guess I’ll have to take off and run

So I wish that I could help you
But right now, baby
I just can’t help myself

So sorry, baby
Wish there was something that I could do
But you see all my life
I’ve been down just like you
Troubles, baby, I have them from wall to wall
I’m even overstocked with one size fits all

So I wish that I could help you
But right now, baby
I just can’t help myself

If you need love
That’s one think I never did know
I wouldn’t even understand it, baby
If it was playin’ at a picture show

So I wish I could help you
But right now, baby
Oh, I just can’t help myself

Oh, blue--that’s all I’ve ever been
And this loneliness, baby
It’s always been my only friend
I’ve been down every street
And in almost every home
You see, me and love
We just don’t get along

So I wish I could help you
But right now, baby
I just can’t help myself
