When you're down and out,
And you feel real hurt
Come on over to the place where I work
Loneliness I try to soothe,
I'll play the blues for you
Don't be afraid, come on in
You might run across
Some of your old friends
Loneliness I try to soothe,
I'll play the blues for you
I ain't no big name,
And I ain't no big star
But I'll play the blues for you on my guitar
Loneliness I try to soothe,
I'll play the blues for you
Yes, I will
Excuse me.
