Lyrics:

The blues chase the blues away
The blues chase the blues away
Every time I hear an old Jimmy Reed song
I forget all about all the things that gone wrong
The blues chase the blues away
When you're out there in the field
Working all day long
When you're out there in the field
Sweatin' and diggin' all day long
Makes you feel a little better
Just to sing a good old blues song
The blues chase the blues away
The blues chase the blues away
Every time I hear a BB King song
I forget all about everything that's gone wrong
That's why I say the blues chase the blues away
When your woman's left you
You're feeling all alone
Yes, I said when your woman's left you
And you're feeling all alone
Just a little dose of The Delta
That lonesome feeling's gone
The blues chase the blues away
The blues chase the blues away

Saw a man down on the street
Playing for nickels and dimes
Saw a man down on the street
Singin' blues for nickels and dimes
He said, 'When you sing 'em you lose 'em
So brother, I'm doing just fine'
The blues chase the blues away
I said the blues chase the blues away
Every time I hear a Little Walter song
It make me forget about everything that's gone wrong
The blues chase the blues away
Yeah, hey, I said the blues chase the blues away
I don't think I would have it any other way
The blues chase the blues away
Yeah, uh-huh
