Luther Allison

Living In The House Of The Blues

Whoa, when I woke up this mornin'

I had my head layin' in my hand

Ooh, when I woke up this mornin'

I had my head layin' in my hand

I can't go on givin'

If I'm livin' in the house of the blues

Lord, I had a fever

My body cold and wrecked with pain

Yes, I had such a fever

Felt like I was goin' up in flame

If I don't get my baby back

I know I'm never gonna be the same

She told me she loved me

And I just laughed and played the fool

Whoa, I thought she was crazy

And I thought I was cool

But oh, but the lesson I learned

It's time for me to go back to another school

Listen to me, baby

Hear every word I said

I need you here beside me

'Cause without it, I'd be dead

I done lost everything

Everything a man can lose

I can't go on givin'

Still in the house of the blues

She told me that she loved me

But I just laughed and played the fool

I thought she was crazy

And I thought that I was bein' cool

Well, I can't go on givin'

If I'm livin' in the house of the blues

Alright
