I bathed in muddy waters
I howled up a t the moon
My heart was struck by lightning
My soul cocked up in a spoon
I might not be a king
And hardly got a dime
But I can take there blues
And finally made them mine
How do you like
How do you like
How do you like these blues
They're all we got to pull us through
How do you like these blues
How do you like
How do you like
How do you like these blues
They're all we got to hold on to
How do you like these blues
I have been down to the river
And to the mountain top
Yeah I heard those bullets flying
Can't we make them stop
In palaces and jukejoints
That roadhouse down the way
The blues has kicked our ass
Guess it's here to stay
How do you like
How do you like
How do you like these blues
They're all we got to hold on to
How do you like these blues
How do you like
How do you like
How do you like these blues
They're all we got to pull us through
How do you like these blues
Hear it in a diddley bo
Only got one string
Or a voice so full of sorrow
It can't hardly sing
Sure there's heartbeats
And eyes that cry
The blues may change a little
But it'll never die
How do you like
How do you like
How do you like these blues
They're all we got to pull us through
How do you like these blues
How do you like
How do you like
How do you like these blues
They're all we got to hold on to
How do you like these blues
How do you like
How do you like
How do you like these blues
They're all we got to pull us through
How do you like these blues
Yeah
