John Lee Hooker, Van Morrison - Never Get Out of These Blues Alive lyrics
[John Lee Hooker, Van Morrison - Never Get Out of These Blues Alive lyrics]
I'll never get out these blues alive
I'll never, I'll never
Get out with these blues alive
All a-my life, I been doomed with the blues
I'm drinkin' black coffee
And smokin' cigarettes
I'm drinkin' black coffee and
Smokin' cigarettes all night
I know I'll never
I'll never come outta these blues alive
(Tell everybody now, Van)
Never, never, come outta these blues alive
(No, you won't) if I live to be a hundred
(That's Van Morrison)
I don't think I ever will
I can't understand, just exactly why
I can't understand now, just exactly why
All I know, same thing every day
You turn on the radio
Hear the same thing every day
You read a paper
You hear the same thing, every day
I don't know why has to be this way
I don't know why
People tell ya, that change is gonna come
Everybody tell you, some change is gonna come
I've been through the third degree
You know what I'm talkin' about
Uh, uh nothin', nothin', nothin'
I know I'll never, I know I'll never
Get outta these blues for life
L'lI, never (never, never) never
Come outta the blues, for life
I'm doomed (doomed?) i'm doomed
I'm doomed with the blues, til I die
Yeah, yeah
Now Van, I'm drinkin' black coffee
I started smokin' cigarettes all night
I can't sleep, I can't eat
There is no use of me layin' down
No no, no no no, no no
Now, Van Morrison, he asked me
He says, 'Johnny, why
Why do you sing the blues?'
I say, 'I know I'm doomed, I'm doomed'
But all I know
I sing the blues both night an day
I'll never, neve, come out alive yeah
Alright
Yeah yeah ooo ooo ooo ooo
I'm walkin' the floor all night long
Jumpin' over my bed
Jumpin' (jumpin') over my bed (over my bed)
I can't sleep (I can't sleep)
What the use? (can't sleep)
Or lay down (lay down) oh no (in a room)
Ooo ooo, I got the blues (got the blues)
Got the blues
Got the blues, ha ha, I got 'em
(got the blues) ooo ooo (can't sleep)
Ooo no, no no, what the use? Ooo ooo
(Never, never) oh, come out the blues
(Get out of these) blues alive (blues alive)
Oh no (Never, never, never, never) yeah why?
Uh (get out of these) blues alive no, no
Ooo (born with the blues)
(Stay with you all your life)
I'm walkin' the floor all night
My baby gone, says she won't be back no more
(No more)
And that' why (look out in the street)
Ooo ooo ooo
(I can't find) oh (I can't find my baby)
Nowhere
I'll never, I'll never
Get out with these blues alive
All a-my life, I been doomed with the blues
I'm drinkin' black coffee
And smokin' cigarettes
I'm drinkin' black coffee and
Smokin' cigarettes all night
I know I'll never
I'll never come outta these blues alive
(Tell everybody now, Van)
Never, never, come outta these blues alive
(No, you won't) if I live to be a hundred
(That's Van Morrison)
I don't think I ever will
I can't understand, just exactly why
I can't understand now, just exactly why
All I know, same thing every day
