I got a feeling, blues gonna be my only way
Yeah, I got a feeling, blues gonna be my only way
But when you're lookin' for somebody
I'm lookin' for somebody
Tell me woman, now, how do you see a man like me
Tell me woman, now, how do you see a man like me
You look so nice

Have you heard that rumour that's going around
You got it made, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway, but you was gone
I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

When you give me the business, you know I get a mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
Yeah, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

Well I'm standin' next to a mountain.... Choppin' down with the edge of my hand
Well I'm standin' next to a mountain.... Choppin' down with the edge of my hand
Pick up the pieces, make an island.... Might even raise a little sand

Cause I'm a voodoo chile.... Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you.... One of these days
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you.... The rest of my days

I won't see you again in this world.... See ya in the next one
Don't be late.... Don't be late

Cause I'm a voodoo chile yeah.... Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Now the evening sun is goin' down
Black shadows covering dusty ground
But I never thought I'd be the kind of man
But I know that I am.

But I never thought I'd be a junky
Fixin' up holes and shootin' my time away.

Early morning sun leaves me behind
Shatters my body burns my mind
But I never thought I'd be the kind of man
But I know that I am.

But I never thought I'd be a monkey
Climbing up trees and lost on a cannibal isle.

If I should wake up in some other place
White Heap staring at my lonely face
But I never thought I'd be the kind of man
To be caught inside a jam.

But I never thought I'd be a donkey
Pullin' a weight that's driving me to the ground.

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Help me, baby.

But I never thought I'd be the kind of man, ah-ah-ha
But I never thought I'd be a junky, yeah
But I never thought I'd be a monkey
But I never thought I'd be a donkey, yeah.

Uh, oh.

That's right.
