White Man Singin' the Blues

The old man paid no mind to color

'Cause he knew that I'd been down and out

Old Joe said that I was a soul brother

The things I been singin' about

He liked how I played my old guitar

He'd sit down beside me to sing

Together we hummed out an old timy blues

Oh, we sing aside a railroad track

For people have nothing to lose

I'm a son of a gambler who's luck never came

And a white man singin' the blues

We both done a heap of hard livin'

And hard to describing in a song

But the blues was one thing we both understood

And the old man hummed right along

Oh, we sing aside a railroad track

For people have nothing to lose

I'm a son of a gambler who's luck never came

And a white man singin' the blues
