Ask Me ’Bout Nothing (But the Blues) Bobby "Blue" Bland

Ask me who was the first man
To make a fire in the night
I don't know

Oh Lord I don't know
Ask me who thought of using
A candle for a light
I don't know
Oh Lord I don't know

But ask me how does a man feel
When he's got the blues
And I'd say
Misused abused down-hearted and blue
Know the reason I know this
Is cause the blues is all I was left with

Ask me why does a man
Have to reach beyond his need
I don't know
Lord have mercy I don't know
And ask me why does a tree
Have to shed its leaves
I don't know
Lord have mercy I don't know
