From the Alligator release SON SEALS LIVE – SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION (AL 4846) Mother Blues (Taylor) Only the blues can talk to me Only the blues know how I feel Only the blues can talk to me Only the blues know how I feel You know the blues don't take no prisoners Mother Blues tells it like it is The blues and I got high this morning You know we cried until the sun went down The blues and I got high this morning You know we cried until the sun went down She said, "Don't worry about a thing, Son The blues will always be around" Now she stopped by this morning And took complete control Crawled inside of my body And began to massage my soul Only the blues can talk to me Only the blues know how I feel You know the blues don't take no prisoners Only the blues tells it like it is Now she pulled up to my heartstring And rubbed the pain away And she whispered in my ear "Now you listen to what I say I'm on a special mission And I don't have the time to play I'm not here to give you the blues I'm here to take the blues away" Only the blues can talk to me Only the blues know how I feel The blues don't take no prisoners Only the blues tells it like it is Like it T-I-S is
