[00:00:00] True blues

[00:00:01] Ain't no new news

[00:00:03] 'Bout who's been abused

[00:00:05] For the blues is as old

[00:00:06] As my stolen soul

[00:00:08] I sang the blues when the missionaries came

[00:00:10] Passing out bibles in Jesus' name

[00:00:13] I sang the blue in hull of the ship

[00:00:15] Beneath the sting of the slavemaster's whip

[00:00:18] I sang the blues when the ship anchored

[00:00:20] The dock

[00:00:21] My family being sold on a slave block

[00:00:23] I sang the blues being torn from my first born

[00:00:27] And hung my head and cried

[00:00:28] When my wife took his life

[00:00:30] And then committed suicide

[00:00:32] I sang the blues on the slavemaster's

[00:00:34] Plantation

[00:00:35] Helping him build his tree nation

[00:00:37] I sang the blues in the cotton field

[00:00:40] Hustlin' to make the daily yield

[00:00:42] I sang the blues when he forced my woman

[00:00:44] To bed

[00:00:44] Lord knows I wish he was dead

[00:00:47] I sang the blues on the run

[00:00:49] Ducking the dogs and dodging the gun

[00:00:51] I sang the blues hangin' from the tree

[00:00:54] In a desperate attempt to break free

[00:00:56] I sang the blue from sun up to down

[00:00:59] Cursing the master when he wasn't around

[00:01:01] I sang the blues in all his wars

[00:01:04] Dying for someone uknown cause

[00:01:06] I sang the blues in the high tone low moan

[00:01:09] Load groan soft grunt hard f**k

[00:01:12] I sang the blues on land sea and air

[00:01:14] About who when why and where

[00:01:16] I sang the blues in church on Sunday

[00:01:19] Slavin' on Monday

[00:01:20] Misused on Tuesday

[00:01:22] Abused on Wednesday

[00:01:23] Accused on Thursday

[00:01:25] Fried alive on Friday

[00:01:26] And died on Saturday

[00:01:27] Sho'nuff singin the blues

[00:01:29] I sang the blues in the summer fall winter

[00:01:31] And spring

[00:01:32] I know sho'nuff the blues is my thing

[00:01:35] I sang the backwater blues

[00:01:36] Rhythm and blues

[00:01:37] Gospel blues

[00:01:37] St. Louis blues

[00:01:39] Crosstown blues

[00:01:40] Chicago blues

[00:01:41] Mississipi Goddam blues

[00:01:43] The Watts blues

[00:01:44] Harlem blues

[00:01:45] Hough blues

[00:01:45] Gutbucket blues

[00:01:46] F**ky junkie blues

[00:01:47] I sang the up north cigarette cough blues

[00:01:50] The down south strung out the side of my

[00:01:52] Mouth blues

[00:01:53] I sang the blues black

[00:01:54] I sang the blues blacker

[00:01:56] I sang the blues blackest

[00:01:57] I sang about my sho'nuff blue blackeness
