"I Sung The Blues" by John Kaniecki

I Sung the Blues

Momma was a Baptist holy as can be

Papa was a drunk loved his whiskey

How they’d fight scream and shout

Couldn’t stand it just one way out

I sung the blues

It came from my heart

I sung the blues

Surviving was an art

Momma had good news

Papa had his views

And me

I sung the blues

Well daddy drifted in and out

Momma did her best I had no doubt

Scrubbing floors and cooking meals

I learned real young how hunger feels

I sung the blues

It came from the soul

I sung the blues

Music took control

Momma worked like hell

Papa never did well

And me
I sung the blues

Church was packed on my saddest day

Good Lord Jesus took my momma away

They say God He’s full of Love so kind

Why’d he take momma and leave me behind

I sung the blues

Louder than the choir

I sung the blues

I was a blazing fire

Momma went to glory

Poppa was out of the story

And me

I sung the blues

So here I am close your eyes to see

Music is a healer come to set you free

In my voice, I rejoice, it’s my choice

You can’t touch my song and make it wrong

Life ain’t easy we all pay our dues

I got sorrow to borrow I sing the blues

I sing the blues

On the radio

I sing the blues

On the t.v. show

Momma I miss

Papa thanks for this

Cause of you

I sung the blues
