Lyrics : White Man Singin’ The Blues (2005 version)
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
'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
