I’ve got to change my way of living,

cause trouble’s all that I can see.

I gotta change my way of living,

Lord trouble’s all that I can see.

My life is in such a mess,

there ain’t no one to blame but me.

My good girl tried to tell me,

wouldn’t hear a thing she said.

Lord my good girl tried to tell me,

wouldn’t hear a lonesome thing she said.

Now she’s taken her things and left me,

no place for me to lay my head.

Blue, Lord I’m blue.

Raining down on me.

I gotta change my way of living,

cause the blues is all I see.

Blue, Lord I’m blue.

Raining down on me.

I gotta change my way of living,

change my way,

the blues is all I see.

Now when your luck runs out,

that’s when your friends will run out too.

Lord, when your luck runs out,

your fairweather friends will run out too.

You’re a very lucky man, Lord

if there is just one who’ll stand by you.

Blue, Lord I’m blue.

The blues raining down on me.

I gotta change my way of living,

cause the blues is all I see.
