On my way to church one Sunday morning;
I ran into this old man.
Who declared today was "Blues Day."
Who declared yesterday was "Blues Day."
I asked him, in a vehement tone.
"Man, what you talking ?bout?"
He responded, "You know;
"We?ve? been singing the blues for a long time."
"We?ve been singing the blues for a long time."
"I couldn?t imagine life without these old-tyme hymns".
"These old-tyme hymns make me feel alive."
Life, well life;
Wouldn?t be the same.
Life, well life;
Wouldn?t be the same.
It?s our heritage you see.
Our legacy.
From the cotton fields and the lily fields...and the African plains:
Can this black man sing blues?
To Jim Crow and Martin King;
From Martin King to the Katrina waves.
Can this black man sing the blues?
Can this black man sing the blues?
Can this black man sing the blues?
