the blues inside my head

i can hear the blues inside my head;

i can hear little blue people inside my head,
i can hear them sing,
sometimes they sing the deep moaning blues with Ma Rainey;

i can hear them singing that bessie smith song,

"...& your friends can't be found
Not a soul to ease your pain
You will plead in vain
You've got those bleeding hearted blues"

they sing, all night

I can hear the blues inside my head.
