When you're down and out and ya feel real hurt
Come on over to the place where I work
Loneliness, I'll try to soothe
I'll play the blues for you
Don't be afraid, come on in
You might run across some of your old friends
Loneliness, I'll try to soothe
I'll play the blues for you
I got no big name and I ain't no big star
But I play the blues for you, my guitar
Loneliness, I'll try to soothe
I'll play the blues for you
Yes, I will, excuse me
