They Call Me Blue

They Call Me Blue

They call me Blue, never had great wealth

But if you lend me your ear I’d like to introduce myself

I’m not a quitter and I’m humble and tough

Done 50 some records and that’s still not even enough

I’ve been on this road so long and sung every kind of blues song

And you have not seen the last of me because I don’t give up that easily

Just call me Blue………Bobby Blue Bland

Pleased to meet you because that’s who I am

Now I’ve been around some but I don’t feel that old

I’m proud of my track record over the years that shines just like gold

I treat all people like they are my family

If you don’t respect me for that then just leave me be

I’m in this music game for the long run

But don’t get me wrong because I’ve surely had my fun

If I had my druthers before it’s over and done

Wish I could score-just one more-and hit a home run

I’ve been on this road so long and sung every kind of blues song

And you have not seen the last of me because I don’t give up that easily

Just call me Blue……….Bobby Blue Bland

Pleased to meet you because that’s who I am
