When I was young, I stayed in line I didn't do no midnight creeping When I was young, I stayed in line Didn't do no midnight creeping My mama had a broomstick beside the bed Let me tell you, it wasn't for sweeping Didn't learn nothing from a book No, I never took a lesson I didn't learn nothing from a book No, I never, never took a lesson When it comes to the Blues I do my own kind of lesson Blues done turn me wild It's gone deep down in my soul Blues done turn me wild It's gone deep down in my soul I get like an old hound dog Playing on a rabbit's hole You can't pick how they remember you You just hope some day they do You can't pick how they remember you You just hope some day they do But I still got more to say I ain't never through Blues done turn me wild It's gone deep down in my soul Blues done turn me wild It's gone deep down in my soul I get like an old hound dog Playing on a rabbit's hole
