Now here I am playing the blues, and doing the very best that I can
The whole world is talking down on me, but I know they just don't understand
So I'm going on singing and playing the blues, I'm just a lonely guitar man
Going on singing and playing my blues, 'cause I'm just a lonely guitar man
When it comes down to money and other things, I don't have none
But when I play my guitar, I have a whole lots of fun
World down on me, I know they don't understand
Going on singing and playing my blues, I'm just a lonely guitar man
Going on singing and playing my blues, just a lonely guitar man
Listen: lost the woman that I loved, I think she got another man
I tried to do everything for her, but I know she don't understand
Going on singing and playing the blues, oh, she don't understand
Singing and playing my blues, 'cause I'm just a lonely guitar man
