Lyrics My Blues (11-21-50) - Percy Mayfield, Mayfield

My Blues (11-21-50)

Someone may ask the question, «why are you so sad?»
I would answer quite directly, «the blues is all I’ve had»
'Cause I’ve been so mistreated, the blues has caused many tears
Because the world has misused me, and have for many years
Someone may see me cryin', and ask the reason why
The answer would be easy, the blues has made me cry
And I know just what you’re thinking, but listen just the same
Because the world is full of evil, I feel like it’s the blame
Someone may want to ask me, why am I this way?
I would know how to answer, but this what I’d say:
«'Cause I’ve been so mistreated, the blues has caused many tears
Because the world has misused me, and have for many years»
