First Time I met The Blues (Original Artist Re-recording) - Mississippi Fred McDowell/Big Maybelle

The first time I met the blues

People you know I was walking

I was walking down through the woods

Yes the first time

The first time I met you blues

Blues you know I was walkin'g

I was walking down through the woods

Yes I've watched my house burning blues

Blues you know you done me

You done me all the harm that you could

The blues got after me

People you know they

Ran me from tree to tree

Yes the blues got after me

Blues you know you ran me

Ran me from tree to tree

Yes you should a heard me beg blues

Ah blues don't murder me

Yes good morning blues

Blues I wonder

I wonder what you're doing here so soon

Yes good mornin'

Good morning

Good morning mister blues

Blues I wonder

I keep wondering what

You're doing here so soon

Yes you know you'll be with

Me every mornin' blues

Every night and every noon

Oh yeah
