Mr. Blue (Live)

What's the story, Mr. Blue, did she pull the rug from under you?
Did she chop your dreams up two by two
And kick them out the door?

I could sympathize you, son
But pity words stick to my tongue
And sorry words have all been sung
So many times before

Oh, Mr. Blue, you blew your chances long ago
Oh, Mr. Blue, you're through
Quit acting like you didn't know

This is my favorite verse
Coming up now

Hang on one more day or two, then I promise I'll be laying you
Odds that she's found someone new, while you stand around and rust
She don't need no part-time man with no part-time answer
Understand
She don't want an hour's fall of sand for a lifetime full of dust

Oh, Mr. Blue, you blew your chances long ago
Oh, Mr. Blue, you're through
Quit acting like you didn't know

This is my favorite second verse
It's full of answers and profound things

Mr. Blue, you missed the shot
Didn't turn out quite the way you thought, It would, I'll bet
Cause you got caught out playing Donald Juan
Donald Juan

She's got polish, she's got class, and someday
When on the street, you pass her house
You'll wonder why the grass looks greener on her lawn
Greener past years

Oh, Mr. Blue, you blew your chances long ago
Oh, Mr. Blue, you're through
Quit acting like it isn't so

Now comes the best part of all and I haven't even write it I borrowed it from and old Platter's record
And old Platter's platter
Goes like this

Scobi-doo
Scobi-dai
Scobi-doo
Always work

It's kind of a silly song and this one it's a little more serious
It's a

It counts like a country hit parade
I don't think really it's a country song if you can classified songs
And ah
Its mere effect it's number 13 with a bullet
That means it's moving up rapidly

It's by a fellow named George Hamilton the fourth
The song it's by me but he does it
With Jeat Atkins and the whole Nashville Chorus and the Carter Family type
And all sorts of all people and the recitation
And the electric rock and roll mandolin
But originally, the song goes like this

Didn't call like that at all
