When the blues comes a calling – it don’t knock on any door

It comes in where it wants to – like a wave into the shore

And when it hits you in the head – it knocks you to the floor

Yeah, when the blues comes a calling – you don’t know what’s in store

When the blues comes a calling – and gets inside your brain

It bites you and tweaks you with the funk it tends to bring

And if you ain’t real careful it drives you quite insane

When the blues come a calling – it takes you off your game

When the blues comes a calling – When the blues comes a calling

When the blues comes a calling – it’s best to get out of the way

When the blues comes a calling – it rocks you to the bone

It takes away your liberty and makes you feel alone

And when you try and get away it turns your heart to stone

Yeah, when the blues comes a calling – it makes you piss and moan

When the blues comes a calling – You know it ain’t too cool

It hurts you to the core – you feel just like a fool

And if it gains control – you know it likes to rule

When the blues comes a calling – it can knock you off your stool

When the blues comes a calling – When the blues comes a calling

When the blues comes a calling – it’s best to get out of the way
