Try your pills and powders
Take your drugs of every kind
Try your luck with liquor
Try your luck with beer and wine
[Chorus:]
You can try
Try it any way you choose
You can try it if you want to
But it's no use runnin' from the blues
You tried to throw a party
And the invitations read
All your friends invited
But the blues showed up instead
[Chorus]
You've flown down to Jamaica
And you walked on off the plane
Blues stepped up to greet ya
And he smiled and shook your hand
[Chorus]
It ain't no superstition, child
The blues is really real
Get yourself together
Got to deal with how you feel
[Chorus]
Take your drugs of every kind
Try your luck with liquor
Try your luck with beer and wine
[Chorus:]
You can try
Try it any way you choose
You can try it if you want to
But it's no use runnin' from the blues
You tried to throw a party
And the invitations read
All your friends invited
But the blues showed up instead
[Chorus]
You've flown down to Jamaica
And you walked on off the plane
Blues stepped up to greet ya
And he smiled and shook your hand
[Chorus]
It ain't no superstition, child
The blues is really real
Get yourself together
Got to deal with how you feel
[Chorus]
