Listened to a tribute to James Taylor on U Tube, Dr. John and Taj Mahal and band were playing it and the music was nice and loud and bluesey.
Everybody Sings The Blues
from Poets, Philosophers, Workers, & WanderersWell I may not be the smartest man
That ever walked on earth
And some of what’s gone well for me
Might be an accident of birth
Oh but deep inside the mystery
Surrounding me and you
Is something I have come to know
And hold as deeply true
Well you may be a woman
From the right side of town
Going out evenings in the finest of gowns
But one thing’s for certain
No matter the shoes
Sooner of later
Everybody sings the blues
Well you may be erudite
Or a real cool cat
A high priced jet-setter
Going this way and that
Ah but one thing’s for certain
You know it ain’t news
Sooner or later
Everybody sings the blues
Oh, lonely, we all get lonely some times
There’s nothing anyone can do
Hang on, for just another day
And hope that you’ll get through
Well you may be ironic
You may be a clown
You may swear that you’ll never wear
Your smile upside down
Oh but one thing’s for certain
Whether you win or lose
Sooner or later
Everybody sings the blues
