True Blues ain’t no new news Bout who’s been abused For the Blues is as old As my stolen soul I sang the Blues when the missionaries came Passing out Bibles in Jesus’ name I sang the Blues in the hull of the ship Beneath the sting of the slave master’s whip I sang the Blues when the ship anchored at dock My family being sold on the slave block I sang the Blues being torn From my first born And hung my head and cried When my wife took his life And then committed suicide I sang the Blues on the slave master’s plantation Helping him build his free nation I sang the Blues in the cotton field Hustling to make the daily yield I sang the Blues when he forced my woman to bed Lord knows I wished she was dead I sang the Blues on the run Ducking the dogs and dodging the gun I sang the Blues hanging from the tree In a desperate attempt to break free I sang the Blues from sun up till down Cursing the master When he wasn’t around I sang the Blues in all his wars Dying for some unknown cause I sang the Blues in a high toned low moan Loud groan, soft grunt, hard funk I sang the Blues on land, sea, and air About who, when, why, and where I sang the Blues in church on Sunday slaving on Monday misused on Tuesday abused on Wednesday accused on Thursday fried alive on Friday and died on Saturday sho nuff singing the Blues I sang the Blues in the summer, fall, winter, and spring I know sho nuff the Blues is my thing I sang the Back Water Blues Rhythm and Blues Gospel Blues St. Louis Blues Cross Town Blues Chicago Blues Mississippi Goddamned Blues the Watts Blues Harlem Blues Ho Blues Gutbucket Blues Funky Junky Blues I sang the Up North Cigarette Cough Blues the Down South Strung Out The Side Of My Mouth Blues I sang the Blues black I sang the Blues blacker I sang the Blues blackest I SANG BOUT MY SHO NUFF BLUE BLACKNESS!
