| I woke up this mornin' with these certified blues, |
| They sure been stalkin' me 'round. |
| So down tonight I couldn’t tie my shoes. |
| They about to drop me in the ground. |
| If I could shake loose I would feel so fine. |
| There’s one thing for sure and it’s on my mind. |
| These certified blues are gonna take their time. |
| I’ve been livin' here, way down South, |
| A place that I wanna stay. |
| Been workin' hard just to feed my mouth. |
| Just can keep them blues away. |
| There’s one thing for sure and it’s on my mind. |
| These certified blues are gonna take their time. |
| If I could shake loose I would feel so fine. |
| You say you’re feelin' bad and you don’t know why. |
| You’re broke and your woman been ly’n'. |
| And just one thing before I’m fired, |
| The blues have just been certified. |
| If I could shake loose I would feel so fine. |
| There’s one thing for sure and it’s on my mind. |
| These certified blues are gonna take their time. |
