Lyrics:

Oh, there's got to be a change
Things just can't stay the same
If I got any worse off
I'd have myself to blame

I've played the blues so long now
There ain't nothin' left for me to do
I just can't give it up
If I do my life would be through

Well now I've been to Kentucky, Chicago too
All over St. Louis, ain't nothin left to do baby
But I'll play the blues for you, yes I will

Well I've been down to Texas
To the international revenue
I ain't got no money now, honey now
Ain't nothin' left to do
Well I'll play the blues for you
