Elkie Brooks - Mister Bad Penny Blues lyrics

[Elkie Brooks - Mister Bad Penny Blues lyrics]

I thought the blues were no more
I believed that bad times were dead
I was so cool and mellow
Not a worried thought in my head
But when I woke up today
Mister Blues was sittin' right
There on my bed here's what he said

Well, hello there, babe, I've been far away
I've come back now an' I'm here to stay
I said 'No Mister, you turn around
Pick up your bag and you can go
I don't mean slow' but if he leaves today
He'll be back tomorrow
That's one thing I know, you can be sho'

Life ain't worth livin' when
The blues is around
Gonna buy a ticket and ride out of town
What's the use of hidin', he'll find me
Wherever I choose to run


I thought that trouble was over
Now I find it's only just begin
That ain't no fun

He'll come knock, knock, knockin' on my door
Tap, tap, tappin' on my window
I'm lookin' North and South
I'm lookin' East and West
I can't see no place that's
Gonna give me rest
He's Mister Bad Penny Blues
He's always turnin' up at my door

Gotta find a way to keep him out
No use to scream and shout
Gonna get me a mean ol' hound
To bite his legs when he comes round
Or buy a Kalashnikov, blow his head right off
I'm singing the bye bye blues
Put on my walkin' shoes
Mister Bad Penny, bad penny
