Pete Kelly's Blues

There are sad things

There are bad things, the blues

When they threaten

Just start betting you'll lose

You hide yourself behind a prayer

The blues'll come and they'll find you there

I mean the blues they call Pete Kelly's Blues

There's no exit, you can try the blues

If you're born with, you will die with the blues

Think what you choose, that happy dream is yours they say

If you can pay the dues

That's why I'm stuck with fresh outta luck with the blues

That happy dream is yours they say

If you can pay the dues

That's why I'm stuck with fresh outta luck with the blues

The blues

The blues

The blues

The blues
