Lyrics:

Well, it's the same rhythm
That's played in Memphis
The face shows no pain
But the beat is the same in New York

And speed is just a bird in the night
It carries sorrow as it flies no fixed flight
It's heard out there

You say, your name is the same
But you're just not able to live white
You can't believe what is real
Because what's real for you may not be right

And the alleys, and streets stay the same
And you think you know what's to blame
Just ain't right

Don't let the blues get you down
Don't let the blues drag you around
The blues are gonna get ya
The blues are gonna get ya now

I said, the blues are gonna get ya
The blues are gonna get you now

Well, it's the same rhythm
That's played in Memphis
The face is the same
But the beat isn't played in New York

The people spin a web they can't see
And imagine what a world this could be
If they did things right

Don't let the blues get you down
Don't let the blues drag you around
The blues are gonna get ya
The blues are gonna get ya now

Don't let the blues get you down
Don't let the blues drag you around
Don't let the blues get you down
The blues are gonna get ya
The blues are gonna get you now

I said, the blues are gonna get you
The blues are gonna get you now
I said, the blues are gonna get you
The blues are gonna get you now
I said, the blues are gonna get you
The blues are gonna get you now, yeah, oww
