Eddy Clearwater - DR big band - Came Up The Hardway *** BLUES FOR YOU ***

I came up the hard way,
I had to work both day and night,
I came up the hard way,
I had to work both day and night,
it's a shame, shame, shame
that a poor man have to live that way.
I came up the hard way,
I had to work from song to song.
I came up the hard way,
I had to work from song to song.
That a poor man's work is never done,
everybody is talking about the blues,
brother,
deep down in your heart ...
everybody is talking about the blues,
brother,
deep down in your heart ...
all my life, I had nothing but the
blues
ever since I was nine years old,
I had nothing but the blues,
sometimes I feel so bad down inside,
I have to put on my walking shoes.
I think I wanna walk one more mile with
the blues.
I came up the hard way,
I had to work from song to song.
I came up the hard way,
you know they got me working night and
day,
it's a shame, shame, shame
that a poor man have to live that way.
