Blues on your mind

As sung by Franklin J. Johnson

Shall we stay in England, baby,
Maybe go to France
Travel up to Denmark, mama,
Take a second chance.

Wherever I travel
Just one thing I’ll find
If it’s not you and me babe
Got blues on my mind.

One thing I’ll find, baby,
Just one thing I’ll find, mama,
If it’s not you and me babe
Got blues on my mind.

 This goddam room, baby,
Four tattered walls
This empty bed, mama,
Outside the rain falls.

Mountain dew booze
Is driving me blind.
Whatever I’m drinking
Got blues on my mind.

 Driving me blind babe
Driving me blind mama
Whatever I’m drinking
Got blues on my mind.

Gonna take a long walk
Off a very short plank
Wherever I’m going
Got no one to thank

The way to the stars, baby
Our road is unsigned
Wherever we travel
Got blues on our mind.

Our road is unsigned, baby
Our road is unsigned, mama
Wherever we travel
Got blues on our mind.
