Mother Blues

From the Alligator release SON SEALS LIVE –
 SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION (AL 4846)
 Mother Blues (Taylor)
 Only the blues can talk to me
 Only the blues know how I feel
 Only the blues can talk to me
 Only the blues know how I feel
 You know the blues don't take no prisoners
 Mother Blues tells it like it is
 The blues and I got high this morning
 You know we cried until the sun went down
 The blues and I got high this morning
 You know we cried until the sun went down
 She said, "Don't worry about a thing, Son
 The blues will always be around"
 Now she stopped by this morning
 And took complete control
 Crawled inside of my body
 And began to massage my soul
 Only the blues can talk to me
 Only the blues know how I feel
 You know the blues don't take no prisoners
 Only the blues tells it like it is
 Now she pulled up to my heartstring
 And rubbed the pain away
 And she whispered in my ear
 "Now you listen to what I say
 I'm on a special mission
 And I don't have the time to play
 I'm not here to give you the blues
 I'm here to take the blues away"
 Only the blues can talk to me
 Only the blues know how I feel
 The blues don't take no prisoners
 Only the blues tells it like it is
 Like it T-I-S is
