"Big Bad Blues" lyrics

Big Bad Blues

Well, it's a sad situation
When the big bad blues gets you
Alright
Yeah, it's a sad situation
When the big bad blues gets you
Talking about you
Will they get you, me, and all
Make the Rock of Gibraltar fall
And that's what happens
With the big bad blues

Hey, Mama tried to tell me
And my poor Papa sat right down and cried
Lord, he cried
I said my Mama tried to tell me
And my poor Daddy sat right down and cried
Lord, he cried
He said the blues will get you boy
Before you're old enough to realize

And just like one, two, three
Well they got a hold of me
And my heart has started stopping
But I can't stop rocking
Cause I'm trying very hard
To shake away those big bad blues
Talking about blues
Will they get you, me, and all
Make the Rock of Gibraltar fall
And that's what happens
With the big bad blues
Hook it, Scott

Now just like one, two, three
Well they got a hold of me
And my heart has started stopping
But I can't stop rocking
Cause I'm trying very hard
To shake away those big bad blues
Talking about blues
Will they get me, you, and all
Make the Rock of Gibraltar fall
And that's what happens
With those big bad blues
One more round now

Will they get me, you, and all
Make the Rock of Gibraltar fall
And that's what happens
With the big bad blues
