Cure For The Blues

I've got a sort of lowdown feeling a sickness that is hard to describe
It ain't no use to call a doctor cause the cure I know he couldn't prescribe
Day by day I'm gradually failin' guess it's just a matter of time
It's started in my mind and infected my heart
Baby when you said goodbye
[ piano ]
I thought that I was slowly improvin' when the tears began to dry
Then I passed you on the corner and it took the rainbow out of my sky
So baby won't you hear my pleadin' your love would really pull me through
It would heal my troubled mind leave these heartaches behind
Cause you're the only cure for the blues
[ guitar ]
I strolled beside that muddy Mississippi and as the evening sun sank low
That naggin' deep inside said jump boy but the longin' in my heart said no
I guess that I'll continue on a walking and maybe Lady Luck will come through
Then contentment I will find in my troublesome mind
Cause baby you're the cure for the blues
Cause baby you're the cure for the blues
