No Escape From The Blues Lyrics - King Bee - Muddy Waters

Well someone made a mistake 

When they said life was a bowl of fruit 

You know I had to go downtown 

And pawn my last suit 

You know I was born to lose 

For me there ain't no escape from the blues 

You know I haven't seen or heard from my woman 

Since the last day I got paid 

She said son if you ain't got no money 

I ain't gonna hang around and be your maid 

Well you know I was born to lose 

For me there ain't no escape from the blues 

Well I broke down hungry 

I got to go out to the well yard 

I got to get myself a food stamp 

So I can buy myself a cup of coffee 

Well I can see I was born to lose 

For me there ain't no escape from the blues 

You know I had worn out my shoes 

And now I'm wearing out my socks 

Well I ain't got no rent to pay, no rent to pay 

They're changing my front door locks 

Well I can see I was born to lose 

For me there ain't no escape from the blues
