[Verse 1]
It was thunderin', a-thunderin'n lightnin'
You know the day this a-poor boy was born
I ain't never know nothin' but your trouble
You know your trouble and your hate and scorn
You know my daddy, Lord, he died in a train wreck
Yeah, my mamma, she was born to lose
You know my middle name is "Natural Born Trouble"
Yeah, and my last name it is the blues, oh yeah
Yeah, my last name it is the blues
Oooo, oooo
Oooo, oooo

[Verse 2]
I see the cold light a-comin' from the window
Yeah, of your warm forty-thousand-dollar home
Oh yeah, but I don't need you people
Because the blues it was meant to roam, oh yeah
Yeah, the blues thеy was meant to roam

[Verse 3]
Well now, hunger is my companion
Cold and pain, thеy know my cry
Oh yeah, you people, you can pray for salvation
Yeah, but the blues don't never die, no, no
Yeah, the blues don't never die
Oooooo
[Verse 1]
Cause it was thunderin', a-thunderin'n lightnin'
You know the day this a-poor boy was born
I ain't never know nothin' but your trouble
You know your trouble and your hate and scorn
You know my daddy, Lord, he died in a train wreck
You know my mamma, she died a fool
You know my middle name is "Natural Born Trouble"
And my last name it is the blues, oh yeah
Yeah my last name it is the blues
Oooo, oooo
Oooo, oooo
