I wished mayor Daley woulda had time to come out here and listen
to these blues we're layin' down
I wished mayor Daley woulda had time to come out here and listen
to these blues we're layin' down
I believe he woulda went down to the liquor commissioner
and say, let's open up a blues club right downtown
Everybody seems so down and out these days,
seem like ain't nobody got no place to go
Everybody seems so down and out these days,
seem like ain't nobody got no place to go
But I'm gonna play my blues all over this town, yes I am
even if I have to play 'em from door to door
I wished president Carter woulda had time to come out here and listen
to these blues we're puttin' out
I wished president Carter woulda had time to come out here and listen
to these blues we're puttin' out
I believe he would make up his mind
say let's have some blues way up in the White House
Everybody seems so down and out these days,
seem like ain't nobody got no place to go
Everybody seems so down and out these days,
seem like ain't nobody got no place to go
Well I'm gonna play my blues all over Chicago
even if I have to play 'em from door to door
I wish Mayor Daley would had time to come out here and listen
to these blues we're layin' down
I wish Mayor Daley would just had time to come out here and listen
to these blues we're layin' down
I believe he would've made up in his mind
say let's have some blues clubs all over this town
