Certified Blues lyrics

I woke up this morning

With these certified blues

They sure been stalking me round

So down tonight I couldn't tie my shoes

They 'bout to drop me in the ground

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine

There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind

These certified blues

Are going to take their time

I've been living here, way down south

A place that I want to stay

Been working hard just to feed my mouth

Just can't keep them blues away

There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind

These certified blues

Are going to take their time

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine

You say you're feeling bad

And you don't know why

You're broke and your woman been lying

And just one thing before I'm fired

The blues have just been certified

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine

There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind

These certified blues

Are gonna take their time
