I dont claim to be old And I have no desire To get there too soon But this story must be told REFRAIN: The blues before my time They tear me down and then They fill my heart and make me whole The blues before my time Most say its just a sadness But they dont really know How the blues is but a mirror Of the way we live and how we love REFRAIN If its crying that Im needing I can do it with the blues Then when I through Ill cry with joy And put on my dancing shoes REFRAIN Ive never been downtrodden For fault of being black But those whove gone and left this legacy Its them Id like to thank I’d like to thank I’d like to thank
