Thin Lizzy A Night In The Life Of A Blues Singer lyrics

In the old days, I could sing the blues
I had nothin' to live for and nothin' to lose
And all the time I was paying my dues
Like an old blues singer

And I had no troubles then but I had lots of friends
Friends they come and go and sometimes friendship ends
All the time, I've had a friend on whom I depend
So blues singer, oh

Oh, Mama, Mama, Mama, this is your boy
Oh, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, my soul's been destroyed
Oh Mama, Mama, your pride and joy
Is a blues singer, an old blues singer

And the party's over now, everybody's goin' home

The band is packin' up and I'm on my own
Oh, but I miss you now, you're gone
Mama, your boy's a blues singer, such an old blues singer

Nothin', oh but nothin's changed
Oh, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
I lost you, Mama
I lost you, Mama

In the old days, I could sing the blues
Had nothin' to live for and nothin' to lose
But all the time you must choose
I'm an old blues singer, oh
