The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
People got money
Still got problems
Got to the doctor
And try to solve them
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues
Baby needs new shoes
Mama needs a new dress
Daddy's out scufflin'
Tryin' to do his best
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues
Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again
You party on a saturday
Go to church on sunday
Fun leaves you because
Gotta work on monday
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues
Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again
Ain't got no money
To pay the rent
Baby's gone
You spent your last cent
Mm, still called the blues
Still called the blues, y'all
Anyway you look at it
Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again
