Little Milton - Playing for Keeps

The Blues Is Alright

Alright, y'all
I got something here for you now
I want everybody to get in on it
Put your hands together 'cause this is good
I wanna tell you this

I got this song, I'm gonna sing
I'm gonna sing it just for you
If you dig the blues, I want you to help me sing it too
I want everybody to hear me when I say
That the blues is back, and it's here to stay
Let me explain it to you

I used to have someone that meant the whole world to me
But she left me for someone else
Left my heart in misery
That's when I found out the blues would always be a part of me
Let me tell you this

You see, when she left me, she gave me the blues
That was the last thing I thought I could use
But now I'm glad she left me
I'm glad she gave me the blues
You see, I went out and found me
I went out and found me someone new
That's why I can say this tonight

Hey, hey, the blues is alright
Hey, hey, the blues is alright (oh)
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
It's alright (alright)
It's alright (alright)
Every day and night

Let's testify
That's how we get it, y'all

Hey, hey, the blues is alright
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
It's alright (alright)
It's alright (alright)
Every day and night

I'm gon' play it for you now

I'm glad she left me
I'm glad she gave me the blues
You see, I'm grateful to the blues
It was the blues that brought me to you, yeah
You see, if she'd never given me the blues
I never would've found someone sweet like you
That's why I can say it, y'all

Hey, hey, the blues is alright
Hey, hey, the blues is alright (oh)
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
It's alright (alright)
It's alright (alright)
Every day and night

I just gotta say it again
Y'all help me testify

Hey, the blues is alright (say it)
Hey, hey, the blues is alright (oh)
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
It's alright (alright)
Alright (alright)
Every day and night

Do it again, say it

Hey, hey, the blues is alright (you say it)
Hey, hey, the blues is alright (oh)
Hey, hey, the blues is alright
Hey, hey, the blues is-
