Willie Dixon - Hidden Charms

BLUES YOU CAN’T LOSE 

Many questions have been asked
Through many generations
Why poor people have the blues
Because so long they have tried
To achieve freedom, justice and equality
And yet still today
Success seems to be
A distance away
And these are some of the ways
They have tried

Some they march, while some stand still
Some they die while others live
Some they laugh, while some they cry
Some hang on, while some pass by
With all these things in a poor man’s mind
He got to have a blues he can’t leave behind

Some are high, some are low
Some are sure and some don’t know
Some are weak, and some are strong
Some are here and some are gone
With all these things in a poor man’s mind
He got to have a blues, he can’t leave behind
