Charlie Musselwhite

The blues overtook me When I was a little child You know, the blues overtook me When I was a little child You know, fast women and whisky Made this southern boy wild When I was a kid early on my own I took the highway to be on my own When the Blues overtook me When I was a little child You know, fast women and whisky Made this lonesome boy wild It's dark and cloudy, I believe it's gonna rain Makes me wanna hear my baby call my name Well, the blues overtook me When I was a little child You know, fast women and whisky Made this poor boy wild When you get in trouble every bad is down on you The blues will overtake you and pull you all through Well, the blues overtook me When I was a little child You know, fast women and whisky Made this lonesome boy wild Layin' down my suitcase, pack up my trunk I ain't been drinkin' since the blues made me drunk The Blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whisky Made this poor boy wild You might run and try to escape But the blues will overtake you on a rainy day The Blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whisky Made this southern boy wild
