Buddy Guy Don`t Tell Me About The Blues Lyrics

Don`t Tell Me About The Blues Lyrics

Yeah, you're a down and dirty blues man 

Look-a-here 

You play blues
on blue guitar 

According to the news man 

As far as blues goes you
a star 

I'll admit you gettin' down there 

But I'm down much deeper
then you are 



Yeah, you sing those songs of sorrow 

But to me
you just don't sound real 

You say you're down enough to borrow 

I
must be down enough to steal 

Now the blues ain't what you're singin'


The blues is what I feel 



You tell me your love light is
dimmin' 

And how your old lady cheats 

You go backstage with all
the women 

While I go back out on the street 

Well, you know that
you're a winnner 

And you tell me you were born to lose 

But
please, please, please, don't tell me about the blues 



You tell it
like you're barefoot 

And you're wearin' those hondred dollar shoes 

Yeah, you can shuck and jive me all you wanna 

But please, please don't
tell me about the blues 



Yeah, you tell me you a poor man 

While you flashin' those ruby rings 

But on a million dollar tour 

Man, you can flash more than a goddamn thing 

But it's me who's payin'
my dues 

So please, man, don't tell me about the blues
