From the recording Really Know Something
True story, well mostly
Lyrics
I got the blues the other night
I started drink' and I started a fight
I went home all bloody and bruised
I said "Oh baby, I got the blues"
She said Ohhh Reggie, when I'm through with you
You'll really know somethin' about the blues
I felt bad I let my motor unwind
One hundred ten down near the county line
Up come this cop with an attitude
I said, I'm sorry mister but I got the blues
He said, Ohhh buddy, when I'm through with you
You'll really know somethin' about the blues
Chorus
Really know something 'bout feelin' bad
Really know something 'bout the worst you every had
You'll come out with a whole new point of view
Really know something about the blues
I went to court the very next day
The judge come in and she looked my way
I gave her a wink to let her know i approved
I think it might ofbeen the wrong thing to do
She said, Ohhhh Reggie, when I'm through with you
You'll really know somethin' about the blues
Instrument
Well then I died and the took me down
to some really smoky joint, underground
This ugly little dude says, what's your excuse?
I said, oh mister devil I got the blues
He said, Ohhhh Reggie when I 'm through with you
You'll REALLY know somethin' about the blues
Chorus
