Soul: Humdrum 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
