Blues in My Heart
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
Blues in my heart
Oh, how it aches
Nobody knows
The sorrow it takes.
I should have known
Right from the start
You'd leave me with
These blues in my heart.
--- Imstrumental ---
Rain's falling down
Down from the sky
Even the sun's
Beginning to cry.
Everything's wrong
Since we're apart
Wish I could lose
These blues in my heart...
