The Paul Butterfield Blues Band Paul Butterfield Blues Band / East-West Lyrics
1.All These Blues

Lyricist:Nat Adderley

When you have these blues
And there's someone you're about to lose
There'll be a time, yeah, you can't sleep at night
She won't believe in you, oh, if you don't treat her right

I say, everyday, when the sun is almost down
You remember when your baby left the sound
Some people were born to lose
That's why lovers have the blues

I say, everyday, about five you'll hang your head and cry
That it's the time when your baby said goodbye
And you wanted to put your traveling shoes on
Yeah, you feel like crying when you get these kind blues
Yeah, all these blues, I said all these blues now


2.Born in Chicago

Lyricist:Nicholas Geor Gravenites

I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty-one
I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty-one
Well, my father told me
'Son, you had better get a gun'

Well, my first friend went down
When I was 17 years old
Well, my first friend went down
When I was 17 years old

Well, there's one thing I can say about that boy
He gotta go

Well, my second friend went down
When I was 21 years of age
Well, my second friend went down
When I was 21 years of age

Well, there's one thing I can say about that boy
He gotta pray

Well, now rules are alright
If there's someone left to play the game
Well, now rules are alright
If there's someone left to play the game

All my friends are going
And thing's just don't seem the same
Oh, thing's just don't seem the same, babe

Lyricist:Robert Johnson

Woke up this morning, I looked around for my shoes
You know I had those mean old walkin' blues
Yeah, I woke up this morning I looked around for my shoes
Girl, I had those, uh, mean old walkin' blues

Some people tell me that worried blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feeling I ever had
People tell me that worried blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feeling, uh child, I ever had

Looks you ran to the ocean and the ocean runs to the sea
If I don't find my baby, don't bury me
Went to the ocean and the ocean went to the sea
Yeah, if I don't find my baby, oh yeah, don't bury me

Minutes seem like hours and hours seem like days
Since my baby started her low down ways
Minutes seem like hours and hours seem like days
Since my baby, uh, started her low down ways

You know I had those mean old walkin' blues
Yeah, I woke up this morning I looked around for my shoes
Yeah, you know I had those, uh, mean old walkin' blues
