Lyrics

If you're down an' out, & you feel real hurt
Come on over, to the place I work
An' all your loneliness...I'll try to soothe you
I'll play the blues, for you...

2. ...Don't be afraid, come on in
You might run across yeah, some of your, old friends
And all your loneliness, I'll try to soothe
I'll play the blues, for you......



3. Ohhh, I ain't no big name, Lord I ain't no big star
...but I'll play the blues for you, on my ole' guitar
((Wooh, Your loneliness... I'll really try to sooth,
I'll play the blues, for you)) x2?


4. If you're down an' out, & U feel real hurt
Come on over, to the place I work...
An' all your loneliness...I'll try to sooooothe....
I'll play the blues, for you...
