Suffer To Sing The Blues - David Bromberg[00:00:00]

I sat in on a poker game[00:00:14]

Last Friday night[00:00:17]

I won a couple hands people[00:00:20]

I was doing all right[00:00:23]

I bet my money on a straight[00:00:25]

From the nine up to the King[00:00:29]

But when the dealer showed his hand[00:00:32]

He had the same damn thing[00:00:35]

It seems I always lose[00:00:37]

You've got to suffer[00:00:40]

If you want to sing the blues[00:00:43]

You know some times I play the horses[00:00:49]

But it seems I never win[00:00:53]

I went out to the races late last week again[00:00:56]

This time I won three hundred dollars[00:01:01]

But as I left the track[00:01:05]

Some greasy man come up behind me[00:01:07]

Stuck a gun in my back[00:01:11]

It seems I always lose[00:01:13]

You've got to suffer[00:01:16]

If you want to sing the blues[00:01:18]

I've got a sweet little girl[00:02:01]

Called run-around Sue[00:02:04]

She's kind of rank looking[00:02:08]

But she knows how to do[00:02:10]

Well now old Sue she's got a boyfriend[00:02:13]

They call him Gentleman Jim[00:02:16]

I said Listen Susan sweetheart[00:02:19]

Choose me or him[00:02:22]

And she said You lose[00:02:25]

You've got to suffer if you want to sing the blues[00:02:28]

Well you can sing a happy song[00:02:36]

If you're glad (if you're glad)[00:02:40]

You can sing a protest song[00:02:43]

If you're mad (if you're mad)[00:02:46]

Ah but if you want to sing the blues[00:02:49]

Then boy you'd better learn how to lose[00:02:55]

It seems like[00:02:59]

I have had these same old blues now[00:03:00]

Since old time began[00:03:05]

So I went to talk my troubles to the hoodoo man[00:03:08]

I told him all about my problem[00:03:13]

And I asked him what was wrong[00:03:16]

He said you got to live the blues[00:03:19]

If you want to sing your song[00:03:22]

Seems like I'll always lose[00:03:25]

You've got to suffer[00:03:28]

If you want to sing the blues[00:03:30]

Well you can sing a happy song[00:03:36]

If you're glad (if you're glad)[00:03:40]

You can sing a protest song[00:03:43]

If you're mad (if you're mad)[00:03:46]

Ah but if you want to sing the blues[00:03:49]

Then boy you better learn how to lose[00:03:55]

I went and bought myself a lottery ticket[00:03:59]

Just to change my luck[00:04:05]

I thought I wouldn't mind the losing[00:04:07]

Cause it only cost a buck[00:04:10]

I won an electric poster[00:04:13]

And a baritone sax[00:04:16]

But I had to pawn my cloth[00:04:19]

Just to pay off the tax[00:04:22]

It seems I always lose[00:04:25]

You've got to suffer if you want to[00:04:27]

I always lose[00:04:31]

You've got to suffer if you want[00:04:33]

How come I always lose[00:04:37]

You've got to suffer[00:04:39]

If you want to sing the blues[00:04:41]
