[Verse 1]
A catfish were born to swim
A hawk were born to fly
A catfish love the river
A hawk he love the sky
[Chorus]
Born to the blues
I've got the blues in my blood
When life hit me down
I never stay down for long
I was born into this life
I got the play and sing my song
I were born I were born
To the blues
Ooh the blues
[Verse 2]
I left my home in Mississippi
Oh that hurt I miss I mis my home
Ooo in Mississippi
Oh yes I do
At 40 years I'm still going strong
I got to keep on keep it on
[Chorus]
Caught when [?] give me down
I never stay down for long
I was born to this life
I got the CD that play my song
I were born I were born
To the blues
Ooh the blues
[Verse 3]
A rabbit was born to run
A fox were born to be sly
A rabbit don't wanna get caught
But [?] fox he sure [?]
[Outro]
I was born to the blues
I got the blues in my blood
When life hit me down
I never stay down for long
I was born to the light
I got the CD that play my song
I were born I were born
To the blues
Oh the blues
Oh the blues
Nothing but the blues
Oh I got the blues
I were born I were born
To the blues
I were born I were born
To the blues
