Never Get Out of These Blues Alive John Lee Hooker (Ft. Van Morrison)

[John Lee Hooker]
I'll never get out these blues alive
I'll never, I'll never, get out with these blues alive
All a-my life, I been doomed with the blues
I'm drinkin' black coffee and smokin' cigarettes
I'm drinkin' black coffee and smokin' cigarettes all night
I know I'll never, I'll never come outta these blues alive
(Tell everybody now, Van)

[Van Morrison]
Never, never, come outta these blues alive
(No, you won't)

If I live to be a hundred
(That's Van Morrison)

I don't think I ever will
I can't understand, just exactly why
I can't understand now, just exactly why
All I know, same thing every day
You turn on the radio
Hear the same thing every day
You read a paper
You hear the same thing, every day
I don't know why has to be this way
I don't know why
