Bunch of the Blues

There are sad things
There are bad things, the blues
When they threaten, start betting you'll loseYou hide yourself behind a prayer
The blues'll come and they'll find you there
I mean the blues, they call Pete Kelly's BluesThere's no exit
You can try the blues
If you're born with
You will die with the bluesThink what you choose
That happy dream is yours they say
If you can pay the dues
That's why I'm stuck with
Fresh outta luck with the bluesThere's no exit
None you can try with the blues
See if you're born with
You gotta die with the bluesThink what you choose
That happy dream is yours they say
If you can pay the dues
That's why I'm stuck with
So outta luck with the bluesSome call 'em Pete Kelly's Blues
You can call 'em anything you choose
I call them blues
