Certified Blues

I woke up this mornin’ with these certified blues,
they sure been stalkin’ me ’round.
So down tonight I couldn’t tie my shoes.
They about to drop me in the ground.

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine.
There’s one thing for sure and it’s on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.

I’ve been livin’ here, way down South,
a place that I wanna stay.
Been workin’ hard just to feed my mouth.
Just can keep them blues away.

There’s one thing for sure and it’s on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.
If I could shake loose I would feel so fine.

You say you’re feelin’ bad and you don’t know why.
You’re broke and your woman been ly’n’.
And just one thing before I’m fired,
the blues have just been certified.

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine.
There’s one thing for sure and it’s on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.
