Big Bad Blues
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.
Well, it's a sad situation when the big bad blues gets you (alright)
Yeah, it's a sad situation when the big bad blues gets you (talkin' about you)
Will they get you, me, and all, make the rock of gibraltar fall
And that's what happens with the big bad blues
Hey, mama tried to tell me
And my poor papa sat right down and cried (lord, he cried)
I said my mama tried to tell me
And my poor daddy sat right down and cried (lord, he cried)
He said the blues will get you boy
Before you're old enough to realize (hmm)
And just like one, two, three, well they got a hold of me
And my heart has started stoppin' but I can't stop rockin'
'Cause I'm tryin' very hard
To shake away those big bad blues (talkin' bout blues)
Will they get you, me, and all, make the rock of gibraltar fall
And that's what happens with the big bad blues
Now just like one, two, three, well they got a hold of me
And my heart has started stoppin' but I can't stop rockin'
'Cause I'm tryin' very hard
To shake away those big bad blues (talkin' bout blues)
Will they get me, you, and all, make the rock of gibraltar fall
And that's what happens with those big bad blues
Will they get me, you, and all, make the rock of gibraltar fall
And that's what happens with the big bad blues
