The Blues Man Songtext
von George Jones

I′m just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
I'm not a walk-behinder
I′m a new note finder
But my name's a reminder
Of a blues man that's already gone
So I started drinkin′
Took some things that messed up my thinkin′
I was sure sinkin' when she came along
I was alone in the spot light
Not too much left in sight
She changed all that one night
When she sang me this song


Hey, baby, I love you
Hey, baby, I need you
Hey, baby, you don′t have to prove to me
You're some kind of macho of man
You′ve wasted so much of your life
Runnin' through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light down on you, blues man

I got sick from speedin′
All the things they said I was needing
If I was to keep on pleasing all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads
I got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old load down off this blues man

Than I sang Hey, baby, I love you too
Hey, baby, I need you too
Hey, baby, I do get tired of this traveling band
I'm up in my years now
Nights would be so cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
Oh, I′m up in my years now
Nights would be oh so cold now
If she hadn′t hung around with this blues man
