The Blues Is Just A Bad Dream

[Verse 1] A tree grows in my back yard It only grows at night Its branches they're all twisted Its leaves are afraid of light [Chorus] They say the blues is just a bad dream They say it lives upside your head But when it's lonely in the morning You're bound to wish that you was lying dead [Verse 2] There's winds out on the ocean They're blowing just as they choose But then winds ain't got no emotion, baby They don't know the blues [Chorus] They say the blues is just a bad dream They say it lives upside your head, mmmm But when it's lone, lonely in the morning You're bound to wish that you was lying dead [Verse 3] My mind is rambling and rambling Just like some rolling stone, no Since that nightmare's come to stay with me, baby My thoughts just don't belong [Chorus] They say the blues is just a bad dream They say it lives upside your head But when they visit you around midnight You're bound to wish that you were lying dead
