Have a nice day.
I don't claim to be old And I have no desire to get there too soon
But this story must be told The blues before my time
Tell me darling, they'll feel my heart and make me old
The blues before my time
All I have to say is just a sadness But they don't already know
How the blues is about to mirror All the way we're leaving how long
The blues before my time Tell me darling, they'll feel my heart and make me old
The blues before my time
If it's crying that I'm needing
I can do it with the blues When I'm through, I cry with a joy
And putting on my dancing shoes The blues before my time
Tell me darling, they'll feel my heart and make me old
The blues before my time Tell me
I know about the dance, darling For folk of pain, black
But those who've gone and left this legacy If they're my heart, I'd like to thank
I'd like to thank
I'd like to thank
I'd like to thank
