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

You must chose 

I'm an old blues singer
