Everyday I Have the Blues Songtext
von Otis Rush

Thank you
First of all, ladies and gentlemen, how
About a big hand for my idol, Mr. Otis Rush
Mr. Eric Clapton
My ex-keyboard player, Mr. Eddie Lux
And the band, how about it for everyone, huh?

I′m standing here with my heart in my hand
I'm waiting for a friend, people, I hope you understand
I don′t mean to be funny, but I just feel like a natural man

I've got the blues, I got the blues every day
Yes, I've got the blues, people, I′ve got the blues every day
But with a little help from my friends, I won′t have it no other way


Thank you, Otis, for letting me play my blues
He's my teacher, this man I′ll forever love
Tonight I'm gonna sing my song
Eric Clapton, you are the one I still adore, come on

Eric Clapton, y′all, let's give it to him
Eric Clapton, the blues, oh yeah

It′s been a long, long time since I got together with my friend
He had so many worries, he decided he didn't wanna play no more blues
But the blues hit him in the mind, and his heart said
"Otis, Otis, Otis, Otis, play your blues"

So long, oh, I hate to see me go
So long, people, I hate to see me go
It might be never, never, never again
But I'm telling y′all I had a, I had a natural one
