The Blues — Randy Newman

He's gonna tell you 'bout his dear old mother

Burned up in a factory in Springfield Mass. He's gonna tell you 'bout his baby brother Hustlin' down the city streets And selling himself for a dollar bag. He's gonna tell you 'bout his Uncle Neddy

Locked up in a prison out in Oregon. He's gonna tell you 'bout his best friend Eddie

Killed in a bar fight with a pair of Marines and a sailor oh. He's got the blues this boy has got the blues. You can hear it in his music. He's got the blues this boy has got the blues. You can hear it you can hear it. When I was nine years old my daddy ran away With a woman he met on a train oh. His little boy ran to the room Where his piano lay in wait for him. He played and he played he played and he played. He's got the blues this boy has got the blues You can hear it you can hear it. He's got the blues this boy has got the blues. A year ago I met a girl I thought we'd hit a massive groove

But she dumped meand all we'd hit were the blues. He's got the blues this boy has got the blues. You can hear it in his music. He's got the blues this boy has really got the blues.
