The Story of the Blues (From the Album - The Story of the Blues) - Della Reese

Here in my pocket I’ve got the story of the blues,

try to belive me cos' could be front page news,

I said I live it like it hasn’t happened yet

I can thinking on everyone how I’m the one the one they’re trying to get.

To tell…

(Story of the Blues)

First they take your pride,

then turn it all inside,

and then you realize you got nothing left to lose.

So you try to stop,

try to get back up,

and then you realize you’re telling the Story of the Blues.

Felling browbeaten day after day,

I think It’s over but I just can’t get away.

You said forget it,

well don’t jump the gun,

you’re laughing this time next time you might be the one

To tell…

(the story of the blues)

First they take your pride,

then turn It all inside,

and then you realize you got nothing left to lose.

So you try to stop,

try to get back up

and then you realize you’re telling the Story of the Blues.

Repeat chorus…

What they gonna say about me when they tell

the Story of the Blues.
