[Verse 1]
When I walked through the front door
I swear I heard the back door slam
I got a sneaking suspicion
You've got another man

[Chorus 1]
You've done me wrong
Our love is dead and gone
But as far as I can tell
The blues is alive and well

[Verse 2]
Said you was visiting your sister
On the south side of town
But your sister called this morning
Said you never came around

[Chorus 2]
Yeah she's doing me wrong
Our love is dead and gone
But as far as I can tell
The blues is alive and well

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been hurtin' this way
For so damn long
Misery and pain
Still comin' on strong
[Chorus 3]
As long as I am breathin'
And my heart's still beatin'
I got my story to tell
I know the blues is alive and well

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been hurtin' this way
For so damn long
Misery and pain
Still comin' on strong

[Chorus 3]
As long as I am breathin'
And my heart's still beatin'
I got my story to tell
I know the blues is alive and well

[Chorus 3]
As long as I am breathin'
And my heart's still beatin'
I got my story to tell
As long as I'm around the blues is alive and well, yes it is

[Outro]
Blues
Good mornin', Mr. Blues
My friends told me before they died
"Keep the blues alive"
