Strugglin' Blues

by T-Bone Walker

on The Complete Imperial Recordings, 1950-1954 (1991)

[Verse 1]
I been strugglin' and strugglin'
And my road seems to have no end
I been strugglin' and strugglin'
And my road seems to have no end
I'm tired, broke and hungry, and I don't even have no friends

[Verse 2]
I never knew life could be so sad
I never knew it could be this way
I never knew life could be so sad
I never knew it could be this way
But there's an old, old sayin', every dog will have it's day

[Verse 3]
Lord, have mercy, I beg of you
Without a helping hand I don't know what to do
Lord, have mercy, I know you'll understand
I tried everything in the books, but now I'm at your command
