From the 12 inch single "Nineteen" by Phil Lynott with bonus Thin Lizzy track Also appeared on the live Thin Lizzy album BBC Radio One Live In Concert 1983 A Night In The Life Of A Blues Singer (Lynott) In the old days I could sing the blues I had nothin' to live for And nothin' to lose And all the time I was paying my dues Like an old blues singer And I had no troubles then But I had lots of friends Friends they come and go And sometimes friendship ends All the time, I've had a friend on whom I depend So blues singer Oh... Oh mama, mama, mama, this is your boy Oh mama, mama, mama, mama, my soul's been destroyed Oh mama, mama, your pride and joy Is a blues singer An old blues singer And the party's over now Everybody's goin' home The band is packin' up And I'm on my own Oh, but I miss you now you're gone Mama, your boy's a blues singer Such an old blues singer Nothin, oh but nothin's changed Oh sometimes you win sometimes you lose I lost ya mama I lost ya mama In the old days I could sing the blues Had nothin' to live for And nothin' to lose But all the time You must chose I'm an old blues singer Oh...
