I ain't got preachers|I ain't got rain|I ain't got teachers|To feed my brain| ain't got sugar mountains|Got the deepest blues inside|And if you're blind|You can leave and change your mind||I ain't got water|But I'm not a seal|They took my money|But money can't heal|No fame or fortune|My star don't shine|I got nothing but||The blues is mine||When I hold you baby|I don't need no cure|I'm the shell and you're the shore|Don't have much to give you|I'm not the richest guy|But don't forget that||The blues is mine|
