It's Still Called The Blues
by 
Tony Joe White 
recording of 2000 
from 
Makin' Love Is Good for You (MCA 112241) 
People Got Money 
Still Got problems 
Got to the doctor 
And try to solve them 
Anyway you look at it 
It's still called the blues 
Baby needs new shoes 
Mama needs a new dress 
Daddy's out scufflin' 
Tryin' to do his best 
Anyway you look at it 
It's still called the blues 
Makes no difference 
What you do or say 
The blues might still 
Come your way 
Just when you think 
Your trouble's about to end 
Along comes something 
And start it all over again 
You party on a Saturday 
Go to church on Sunday 
Fun leaves you because 
Gotta work on Monday 
Anyway you look at it 
It's still called the blues 
Makes no difference 
What you do or say 
The blues might still 
Come your way 
Just when you think 
Your trouble's about to end 
Along comes something 
And start it all over again 
Ain't got no money 
To pay the rent 
Baby's gone 
You spent your last cent 
Mm, still called the blues 
Still called the blues, y'all 
Anyway you look at it 
Makes no difference 
What you do or say 
The blues might still 
Come your way 
Just when you think 
Your trouble's about to end 
Along comes something 
And start it all over again
