White Man Singin' The Blues

[Verse 1] The old man paid no mind to colour Cause he knew that I'd been down and out Old Joe said that I was a soul brother The things I been singing about He liked like I played my old guitar He sat by beside me the same Together we hung out an old Timmy blues Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm [Chorus] Oh, we sing aside a rail-road track For people have nothing to lose I'm a son of a gambler who's luck never came And a white man singing the blues [Verse 2] We both done a heap of hard living And hard to describing the song But the blues was one thing we both understood And the old man hummed right along [Chorus]
