My Moma Taught Me Sing The Blues

my Moma taught me sing the blues
she said you'll lay your love on the line
and then someday you'll find your heart will be cryin'
my Moma taught me sing the blues

my Moma taught me sing the blues
she said for everyone it's the same
you'll get too near and then you'll burn in the flame
my Moma taught me sing the blues

just like a jackass who is dumb
I didn't listen to a word of her wisdom

dumb is the word for me only
I didn't listen when she said you'll be lonely

my Moma taught me sing the blues
she said there's no escape from the pain
you're gonna sing those blues again and again
it's not a thing you'll choose
you're gonna hurt from the heart
my Moma taught me sing the blues
oh yeah
