[Verso 1]
I woke up this morning with these certified blues
They sure been stalking me around
So down tonight I couldn't tie my shoes
They about to drop me in the ground
[Coro]
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 going to take their time
[Verso 2]
I've been living here, way down South
A place that I want to stay
Been working hard just to feed my mouth
Just can't keep them blues away
[Coro]
[Verso 3]
You say you're feeling bad and you don't know why
You're broke and your woman been lying
And just one thing before I'm fired
The blues have just been certified
