Lyrics:

There's a baby crying, A new born who won't be content
When he becomes a man he'll wonder where his childhood went
He'll feel the pain of life,
Choke his last breath Life is no bed of roses

Chorus
Life is the blues
Nothing we can do
Life is the blues

Verse

The last time he saw his wife she was marching out to sea
He was cruel and crazy, She was beautiful, She's been set free
Lines on her face The pain of reality
He broke her hearty then left her alone to be

Chorus

Life is the blues
Nothing we can do
Life is the blues
Nothing more to lose

All this guilt he holds within he let her slip away
It's to late to say those things she needed to hear him say
He never said I love you I want you to stay
He'd give his soul to relive that day
He heard his son singing
