When you're down and out,
and you feel real hurt,
Come on over to the place where I work.
Loneliness I'll try to soothe,
I'll play the blues for you.
Don't be afraid, come on in.
You might run across some of your old friends.
Loneliness I'll try to soothe,
I'll play the blues for you.
I ain't no big name, and I ain't no big star.
But I'll play the blues for you on my guitar.
Loneliness I'll try to soothe,
I'll play the blues for you.
Yes, I will.
Excuse me.
