When I walked through the front door I swear I heard the back door slam I got a sneaky suspicion You've got another man You've done me wrong Our love is dead and gone But as far as I can tell The blues is alive and well Said you was visiting your sister On the south side of town But your sister called this morning Said you never came around Yeah she's doing me wrong Our love is dead and gone But as far as I can tell The blues is alive and well I've been hurting this way For so damn long Misery and pain Still coming on strong As long as I am breathing And my heart's still beating I got my story to tell I know the blues is alive and well I've been hurting this way For so damn long Misery and pain Still coming on strong As long as I am breathing And my heart's still beating I got my story to tell I know the blues is alive and well As long as I am breathing And my heart's still beating I got my story to tell As long as I'm around The blues is alive and well, yes it is Blues Good morning Mr. blues My friends told me before they died Keep the blues alive
