Merle Haggard - White Man Singin' The Blues lyrics

rate me

(Merle Haggard)

The old man paid no mind to color

'Cause he knew that I'd been down and out

Old Joe said that I was a soul brother

The things I been singin' about.

He liked like I played my old guitar

He sat by beside me the same

Together we hung out an old timy blues

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.

Oh, we sing aside a railroad track

For people have nothing to lose

I'm a son of a gambler who's luck never came

And a white man singin' the blues.

We both done a heap of hard livin'

And hard to discribing the song

But the blues was one thing we both understood

And the old man hummed right along.

Oh, we sing aside a railroad track

For people have nothing to lose

I'm a son of a gambler who's luck never came

And a white man singin' the blues...
