This, like all the things I've posted so far, is the lyrics as I hear them. Any corrections from people with better ears are welcome. david

THE BLUES WILL DO YOUR HEART GOOD
(Phil Wiggins)
(Recorded by Cephus & Wiggins)

Sometimes my lover turns me down
Acts like she don't want me around
She act like I'm her en-e-my
I b'lieve she got it in for me
But when things don't go the way they should
I just remember that the blues'll do your heart good

The blues'll do your heart good
The blues'll do your heart good
When things don't go the way they should
I just remember that the blues'll do your heart good

I remember when I lost my job
I was thinking 'bout the choke and rob
But if I ever went to jail My own mother wouldn't go my bail
But when things don't go the way they should
I just remember that the blues'll do your heart good

CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:

Never give up on your dream
Times are not as hard as they might seem
Remember what the old folks say
Every dog will have his day
And when things don't go the way they should
Just remember that the blues'll do your heart good

CHORUS & REPEAT^^
