Murray McLauchlan - The Man Who Sings the Blues lyrics

He's livin' in the past He ain't livin' now Picking up bad habits that the law does not allow He's the man who thinks you wear a woman like a suit He's the man who makes a contest outta payin' dues He's the man who's done everything To make sure that he'd lose He's the man who sings the blues He talks about the whiskey He talks about the smack Talks about the monkey But there's nothin' on his back He hands you a dollar but the ink stays on your hand There's nothing about everything that he'll ever understand Whiskey to the Indians and dynamite to the Jews He's the man who sings the blues And he's so low down He's so low down He's so down, down, down Dreamland, dreamland You take part in a dream Wher nothin' that you see Is a piece of what it seems Superheroes slippin' and slidin' by from wing to wing Some of 'em chance to dance, and some of 'em chance to sing I can't blame the blues man He's just one of the crew He's the man who sings the blues
