Back Door Blues Lyrics

Kokomo Arnold Back Door Blues

Says the blues come down the alley : headed up to my back
door
Says I had the blues today mama : just like I never had
before

Blues and trouble : have been my best friends
I says when my blues leave me : my trouble just walked in

Now some folks says blues is trouble : nothing but evil
running across your mind
Lord when you setting down thinking about someone : have
treated you so nice and kind

Said you roll and you tumble : till it almost make you
blind
When you get to thinking about your good gal : well you
almost to lose your mind

I said when you start walking : your mind running every
way
If you think about that old black woman : Lord that led
you off astray
