Lyrics

I don’t know what I’m gonna do No, I don’t know, no no no child what I’m gonna do I gotta find me the origin of my blues. I went to the kitchen to see if my blues were there Said I went to the kitchen to see if my blues were there Didn’t find no blues, so I made me a sandwich and I ate it in my chair Gonna go to the movie, see whats on the screen Said I went to the movie show to see what’s on the big screen Well I paid my seven dollars, did not learn a thing Took me to the school now, gonna learn where the blues come from I took myself to the school now, to learn where the blues come from Well, I left my teacher standin’ there, he made me feel so dumb... Look out now... (instrumental verse) See I don’t know... I don’t know where I got my blues Said I don’t know, I don’t know child just where I got, where I got these blues But there’s one thing I know, makes me feel so much better now When I share ‘em with you.
