Humdrum Blues Lyrics

 

 

Hum Drum Blues - Oscar Brown, Jr.

Written by:O. Brown/Jr

Life can be

Mighty monotonous

 

We're always

 

Battlin' boredom

 

But where

 

Tell me

Where

Has it gotten us

 

Ev'ry thing's still

So doggone humdrum

Stuck in a rut

Gettin' nowhere

Fast

 

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

 

Fighting the future

And mad

At the past

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

 

Oh honey

When you

Ain't got money

Then you

Can't just do

As you choose

 

Just gotta live

With

The humdrum blues

 

Each day

Just like the day

Before

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

 

Work like a dog

But I'm always

Poor

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

 

Oh

Buddy

It'll run you

Nutty

When you find yourself

In my shoes

 

Stumblin' along

With the humdrum blues

 

Don't know

Which way

I'm goin'

 

Don't know

Which way

I came from

 

Rainin'

Or shinin'

Or snowin'

 

Ev'ry thing's still

So doggone humdrum

Love me honey

I wish you would

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

 

Sure would do me

A world of good

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

 

Oh

Baby

If you loved me

Maybe we can get together

And lose

 

Those mean old

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

 

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

 

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

 

Hm

 

Humdrum blues

Hm

 

 

Humdrum blues
