Blues for Everybody

Ah, these is everybody's blues
These blues here I'm playing is for the railroad man
That's got a family on both ends, where they make both ends meet
You know what I mean
Now these blues here is for the truck drivers
That's hogging up and down the road all day long
I know them roads are tough, y'all
And you know they got family on both ends too, truck drivers

Now these blues here is for them butchers
And you know they got a lot of them
Chopping up meat all day long, on both ends
Boy, I don't care how much meat you chop up
Just bring me some, 'cause I'm a meat eater
My, my

Now I'm gonna play for everybody now
Now these blues here is for them women with them hard-working husband
While he working all day long, she's in the saloon all day long
Tending to everybody's business and leaving theirs alone
You know they got plenty of them like
That, sipping over beer all day long

Now these blues here is for the cooks and beauticians
While the cook frying egg all day, they frying hair all day
Telling lies and putting everybody's business out in the street
That's them beauticians
My, my
Now these blues here is for them boys
That don't do nothing, I mean nothing
Just stay at home all day long and wait on that relief check
Cuss the postman out if he ain't got it
'Cause I'm one of them boys, I been waiting myself
