Lyrics
The old man paid no mind to color 'Cause he knew that I'd been down and out Old Joe said that I was a soul brother From the things I'd been singing about Well, he liked how I played my old guitar So he sat by beside me to sing Together we hummed out an old-timey blues Hmm, hmm, doo dee dang From the same side of the railroad tracks Where people have nothing to lose I'm the son of a gambler who's luck never came A white man singin' the blues Well, we both done a heap of hard living Ain't hard to describe in a song But the blues was one thing we both understood And the old man hummed right along From the same side of the railroad tracks Where people have nothing to lose I'm the son of a gambler who's luck never came A white man singin' the blues
