Why I Sing The Blues - Ike & Tina Turner[00:00:00]
Everybody wants to know[00:00:23]
Why I sing the blues[00:00:26]
Yes I say everybody wanna know[00:00:30]
Why I sing the blues[00:00:34]
Well I've been around for a long time[00:00:37]
I really have paid my dues[00:00:41]
When I first got the blues[00:00:45]
They brought me over on a ship[00:00:47]
I try to get my men standing[00:00:49]
But they get more with a whip[00:00:51]
And everybody wanna know[00:00:53]
Why I sing the blues[00:00:56]
Well I've been around for a long time[00:01:00]
People let me tell you I've paid my dues[00:01:03]
You know I've laid in a ghetto flat[00:01:08]
Cold and numb[00:01:10]
I heard the rats tell the bedbugs[00:01:12]
To give the roaches some[00:01:14]
And everybody wanna know[00:01:16]
Why I'm singing the blues[00:01:18]
Yes I've been around for a long time[00:01:22]
Let me tell you I've paid my dues[00:01:25]
I stood in line[00:01:52]
Down at the county hall[00:01:55]
And I heard a man say we're gonna build[00:01:56]
Some new apartments for y'all[00:01:59]
And everybody wanna know[00:02:00]
Why I'm singing the blues[00:02:04]
Yes I've been around for a long time[00:02:07]
People let me tell you I've paid my dues[00:02:10]
You know probably told me[00:02:14]
Cause I wanna gonna grow[00:02:17]
'Cause I black can think the proes[00:02:19]
Every part that you[00:02:21]
And everybody wanna know[00:02:22]
Why I'm singing the blues[00:02:26]
Cause I've been around for a long time[00:02:29]
And I've really really paid my dues[00:02:32]
I shame another young[00:02:52]
I've really really love singing my blue[00:02:54]
