[00:00:42] Well I've been around a long time

[00:00:45] I really have paid my dues

[00:00:50] When I first got the blues

[00:00:52] They brought me over on a ship

[00:00:55] Men were standing over me

[00:00:57] And a lot more with a whip

[00:00:58] And everybody wanna know

[00:01:01] Why I sing the blues

[00:01:06] Well I've been around a long time

[00:01:09] Mm I've really paid my dues

[00:01:15] I've laid in a ghetto flat

[00:01:17] Cold and numb

[00:01:19] I heard the rats tell the bedbugs

[00:01:22] To give the roaches some

[00:01:24] Everybody wanna know

[00:01:27] Why I'm singing the blues

[00:01:31] Yes I've been around a long time

[00:01:34] People I've paid my dues

[00:01:39] I stood in line

[00:01:42] Down at the county hall

[00:01:44] I heard a man say we're gonna build

[00:01:46] Some new apartments for y'all

[00:01:48] And everybody wanna know

[00:01:51] Yes they wanna know

[00:01:52] Why I'm singing the blues

[00:02:01] I'm gonna play Lucille

[00:02:29] My kid's gonna grow up

[00:02:31] Gonna grow up to be a fool

[00:02:32] 'Cause they ain't got no more room

[00:02:35] No more room for him in school

[00:02:37] And everybody wanna know

[00:02:39] Everybody wanna know

[00:03:01] But I had them a long time

[00:03:04] I've really really paid my dues

[00:03:08] You know I ain't ashamed of it people

[00:03:11] I just love to sing my blues

[00:03:41] I walk through the cities people

[00:03:43] On my bare feet

[00:03:45] I had a fill of catfish and chitterlings

[00:03:48] Up and down Beal Street

[00:03:49] You know I'm singing the blues

[00:04:05] Now father time is catching up with me

[00:04:08] Gone is my youth

[00:04:09] I look in the mirror everyday

[00:04:12] And let it tell me the truth

[00:05:18] Blind man on the corner

[00:05:21] Begging for a dime

[00:05:22] The rollers come and caught him

[00:05:24] And throw him in the jail for a crime

[00:05:42] Oh I thought I'd go down to the welfare

[00:05:44] To get myself some grits and stuff

[00:05:47] But a lady stand up and she said
