thin lizzy - a night in the life of a blues singer lyrics
from the 12 inch single “nineteen” by phil lynott with bonus thin lizzy track
also appeared on the live thin lizzy alb-m bbc radio one live in concert 1983
a night in the life of a blues singer
(lynott)
in the old days
i could sing the blues
i had nothin’ to live for
and nothin’ to lose
and all the time
i was paying my dues
like an old blues singer
and i had no troubles then
but i had lots of friends
friends they come and go
and sometimes friendship ends
all the time, i’ve had a friend on whom i depend
so blues singer
oh…
oh mama, mama, mama, this is your boy
oh mama, mama, mama, mama, my soul’s been destroyed
oh mama, mama, your pride and joy
is a blues singer
an old blues singer
and the party’s over now
everybody’s goin’ home
the band is packin’ up
and i’m on my own
oh, but i miss you now you’re gone
mama, your boy’s a blues singer
such an old blues singer
nothin, oh but nothin’s changed
oh sometimes you win sometimes you lose
i lost ya mama
i lost ya mama
in the old days
i could sing the blues
had nothin’ to live for
and nothin’ to lose
but all the time
you must chose
i’m an old blues singer
oh…
