Williams Jr., Hank - The Blues Man Lyrics






I'm just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a, clinger, to sad old songs
I'm not a walk-behinder, I'm a new note finder
But my name's a reminder, of a blues man that's already gone

So I started drinkin', and took things that messed up my thinkin'
I was sure sinkin', when you came along
I was alone in the hot lights, not too much left in sight
But she changed all that in one night, when she sang me this song

Hey baby I love you, hey baby I need you
Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me you're some kind of macho man
You've wasted so much of your life, runnin' through the dark nights
Let me shine some love light, down on the blues man

I got so sick from speed an', all the stuff they said I was needin'
If I was, to keep, pleasin', all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads, I got sued over no-shows
But you came and took all that old load, down off this blues man

Hey baby I love you too, hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired, of this travelin' band
I'm thirty years old now, nights would be cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out, with this blues man

I'm thirty years old now, nights sure would be cold now
If you hadn't, hung around, with this blues man

    I can relate to this song so much at this point in life. You see I'm a Jr. and my Dad's in the hospital right now from a stroke. I keep holding on to my Xwife. I hope shell sing this to me one day. At least we had New Year's together and my Dad only dies once and doesn't keep coming back. I no longer want to hear her sing that part..

  17. A.... B....

    My father was a Vietnam vet and passed in jan of 2015 then lost my granny almost a year later and ive always loved songs from the past and always thinking of him and my nanny

  24. F.... ....

    Got to wash the god dame frat country out of my mind with something real.

  25. T.... W....

    Hank, if I could say...happy is happy and blues are a way to stop me if I am wrong, accept what is and change what we can or can't accept. Roll with the punches . just so you know there is only number 1 during the show.

  26. S.... M....

    About a year ago, my dad passed. He loved this song. God he loved this fucking song. I hated country growing up because of him but I find myself listening to this and shedding tears, drinking his favorite tequila. I miss you Mark, I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye. I didn't ever tell you I loved you but I hope you know I did. I'll see you up there some day.

    I've been playing for 40 years and this is one of my favorites by HANK Jr.

  94. T.... W....

    Thanks to good music and god I now have 7 years clean.

  95. B.... H....

    To Ronda, do you remember the night we lay togheter at Shelby's,I played this for you for the frist time, i couldn't tell you in words what you meant to me then, an how you Ment so much to me. You still have my heart ,an I love you still now as much as that night, thank you for caring enough to let me be your blues man. I will never stop loving you.

  96. G.... B....

    Hey baby I need you

  97. R.... H....

    My girlfriend's dad introduced me to this song playing it on guitar, he's one of if not my favorite guitarists. I related instantly to his struggles. I was born with the blues. I sought escape any way I could and she's the only real escape I ever had. I want to cry every time I hear it, joy or sadness.

  98. C.... B....

    When it’s late, your wife is sleeping next to you, all the kids are in bed, you throw in the ear phones and crank the volume up all while suppressing the worst urge to start belting out this song in the darkness.
