Hey people won't you tell me why do you look so sad?
Hey boy won't you tell me why do you feel so bad?
Yeah sitting here just looking helpless, Oh wish I could fix that
See my dear family, oh lord I love them so
See my dear friend's mama, I wish there were something I could do
Oh this darn here feeling, I think I'll write the E minor blues
Oh my, it's breaking
Gotta go back home
Such a mighty pity that more wives are alone
I say, Hey dear lady
I saw it on the news
So since we can't change nothing
Oh I'll sing the E minor blues
(Take it away spirit)
One more time, like how they used to
Turn on the TV
Same old story
Music's on ice and now they want all the glory
I say dear friend, you'd better forget about them; and burn that there loose
Cause all we can do is live a life that's happy, ohhhhhh and when you're down; think of the E minor; blues
