Preaching Blues (Up Jumped the Devil)

    Preachin' Blues (Up Jumped the Devil)

    Mmmmm mmmmm I's up this mornin'

      ah, blues walkin' like a man
    I's up this mornin'
      ah, blues walkin' like a man
    Worried blues
      give me your right hand

    And the blues fell mama's child

      tore me all upside down
    Blues fell mam's child
      and it tore me all upside down
    travel on, poor Bob
      just cain't turn you 'round
    The blu-u-u-u-ues
      is a low-down shakin' chill
      spoken: Yes, preach 'em now.

    Mmmmm mmmmm

      is a low-down shakin' chill
    You ain't never had 'em, I
      I hope you never will
    Well, the blues
      is a schin' old heart disease
      spoken: Do it. now.
        You gon' do it?
        Tell me about it.

    Let the blues

      is a low-down achin' heart disease
    Like consumption
      killing me by degrees
    I can study rain
      oh, ohm drive, oh, oh, drive my blues
    I been studyin' the rain and
      I'm 'on drive my blues away
    Goin' to the 'stil'ry
      stay out there all day
