There are several songs (or tunes) called BLUEGRASS BLUES (or BLUE GRASS BLUES). Here are transcriptions from a few sound samples:

BLUEGRASS BLUES
(Kieran Kane and Jamie O'Hara)
As sung by The O'Kanes on "The Only Years", 2000.

Shed a tear for the man with the bluegrass blues.
Nothin' to do but go and drink a few,
Come back again, strum a tune....

BLUEGRASS BLUES
(Charles Humphrey III)
As sung by The Steep Canyon Rangers, "Steep Canyon Rangers," 2004.

I got them blue bluegrass blues. I don't know what to do.
Travelin' down the road so long, wearin' out my shoes,
Makin' music ev'ry night, now I'm missin' you.
I got them blue bluegrass blues....

BLUEGRASS BLUES
(E. Branham, M. Paxton)
As sung by Melvin Goins and Windy Mountain on "Bluegrass Blues," 2000.

Blue, blue bluegrass blues.
Got 'em in my head, got 'em in my shoes,
Got 'em in my heart, an' I just can't lose
Blue, blue bluegrass blues....

Hey, guest:

I just forked out my inhritance to get a CD of the O'Kanes album with Bluegrass Blues on it. I'ts been out of print for a long time and is very rare. Here are the full lyrics as printed in the liner notes:

BLUEGRASS BLUES
(by the O'Kanes)

Ooo, shed a tear
For the man with the bluegrass blues

Good love gone bad
High times turn to sad
knock, knock, who's there
Nothin' but the cold night air

Nothin' to do
But go and drink a few
Come back again
Strum a tune on the mandolin

I'm lost, she's found
Another man they're Geogria bound
Cold heart, cold bed
Nothin' left that ain't been said

Written by Jamie O'Hara and Kieran Kane
