| Papa was a blues man, gave me the blues hand me down
|
| An alligator shoes man, gave me the blues hand me downs
|
| Moonshine drinking, doing everything but thinking
|
| Blues hand me downs
|
| Racing the wrong way, chasing every skirt in town
|
| Taking the long way, waiting for the sun to come out
|
| Wheeling, hustling, dealing and a-shuffling
|
| Blues hand me downs
|
| Lord, have mercy on my soul
|
| I didn’t know, you never know
|
| A fighter, no lover, no fucking around
|
| And just like my big brother, he stood on shaky ground
|
| His pride got the best of him and smoking took the rest of him
|
| Blues hand me downs
|
| Lord, have mercy on my soul
|
| I didn’t know, you never know
|
| Hand me down blues
|
| Hand me down blues
|
| Hand me down blues
|
| Hey!
|
| Come on, come on
|
| Hey!
|
| I come from vintage trouble, look out if I’m the one you found
|
| I’ll pop your bubble with my live wire, straight shooting dirty mouth
|
| Papa was a blues man, please, baby, understand
|
| I got the, got the, got the blues hand me downs
|
| Lord, have mercy on your soul
|
| You didn’t know, they never know
|
| Hand me down blues
|
| Hand me down blues
|
| Hand me down blues
|
| Hey, yeah
|
| Hand me down blues
|
| You’re getting to me
|
| Hand me down blues
|
| I’m getting to you
|
| Hand me down blues
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| I got the, got the, got the, got the
|
| Hey!
|
| Papa was a blues man
|
| Papa was a blues man, yes, sir
|
| An alligator shoes man
|
| Alright, alright
|
| Give it to me
|
| Give it to me
|
| Give it to me
|
| Hey!
|
| Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed |
