Lyrics:

Well I've been down so long that I can't get up Drink my life from an empty cup I ain't taking no messin' from the likes of you There ain't no messin' now mess with the blues Messin' the blues, messin' the blues Messin' the blues, messin' the blues Well lonely days and lonely nights Tell your honey that it just ain't right Well baby baby don't let me be blue Cuz there ain't no messin' like messin the blues Messin' the blues Fine little belly got a gleam in my eye Ask no questions and I get no lies I ain't no angel but I end up used Down, down, down with the blues Down with the blues Dealin' the blues Dealin' the blues
