The blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild
When I was a kid, early on my own
I took the highway to be my home
The blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild
I ain't complainin'
ย
Dark and cloudy, I believe it's gonna rain
Makes me wonna hear my baby call my name
The blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild
ย
When you get in trouble, everybody's down on you
The blues'll overtake you, and pull you on through
You know blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild
Just tryin' to have some fun
ย
Hand me down my suitcase, pack up my trunk
I ain't be drinkin', blues made me drunk
The blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild
You might run and try to escape
The blues will overtake you one rainy day
Blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whiskey
Made this poor boy wild
That's alright
ย
Yeah, the blues overtook me
I ain't lyin'
