Lyrics:
Oh, I’m feeling kind of lonely
And I’m feeling kind of down
Oh but I know I’m gonna be alright
If these blues are hanging round
Hanging round, Oh hanging round
Hanging round, Oh if these blues are hanging round
Oh I’m feeling kind of tired
And I don’t know just what to do
Oh but I know I’m gonna be alright
If these blues will pull me through
Pull me through, Oh pull me through
Pull me through, oh they’re gonna pull me through
I’m feeling all tore up
Somehow I don’t know which way to turn
Oh but I’m gonna turn my head straight to these blues
Cause these blues they just won’t burn
Just won’t burn, oh they just, they just won’t burn
Just won’t burn ,oh they just won’t burn
Just won’t burn, Oh they just, they just won’t burn
