The old man paid no mind to color cause he knew
that I'd been down and out
Old Joe said that I was a soul brother the things I been singin' about
He liked how I played my old guitar he sat down beside
me to sing
Together we hummed out an old timey blues
hmm hmm hmm hmm do be dang
From the same side of the railroad track
where people have nothing to lose
I'm a son of a gambler who's luck never came , a white man singin' the blues
Well we both done a heap of hard livin' and hard to
describe in a song
But the blues was one thing we
both understood and the old man hummed right along
From the same side of the railroad track
where people have nothing to lose
I'm a son of a gambler who's luck never came and a white man singin' the blues
