James Harvest Barclay - Blue John's Blues lyrics

Mystery is following me down that lonesome road

And I don't know my way, my way back home

There's someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load

And I don't know my way, my way back home

There's a certain something deep inside

Like a rolling sea or a river wide

As the orchestra starts playing

Get down Joe

You can see his face, you can feel his smile

Yeah, look down low and let the tears run wild

When the orchestra starts playing

Blue John's Blues

Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said

I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do

While the folks around me sing on

Blue John's Blues

Band is swinging, people singing

Get down Joe

There's a place down home where people meet

They clap their hands and they stamp their feet

When the music starts and the band plays

Get down Joe

They sing out loud and they sing out clear

Turn your head round girl and you might just hear

And if you do then start down singing

Blue John's Blues

Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said

I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do

While the folks around me sing on

Blue John's Blues

Band is swinging, people singing

Get down Joe

Take hold of John's blues (?)

Must be a thousand hues (?)

Blue John's Blues

Get back Joe

Take back all of your dough

You've got no place to go

Blue John's Blues

Get back now Joe

My sweetest girl that I ever had

She's drive any poor man bad

Blue John's Blues

Well my Ma and my Papa said, Son

You'll get the KB when you're not on the run (?)

Blue John's Blues

Well my lady and me we're gonna dance all night

Yeah yeah we're gonna dance until the broad broad light

Blue John's Blues

The sweetest girl that I ever had

Was guaranteed to drive a poor man bad

Blue John's Blues

Blue John Blues

Get back Joe

Lord, get back Joe
