[Chorus]
(I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news?
I've been livin' with the blues)
[Verse 1]
Well, you ever been down?
Well, you know how that feels
Well, you ever been lonesome?
You got no drivin' wheel
[Chorus]
Well, I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news?
Whoa, I've been livin' with the blues
[Verse 2]
Blue skies were my blanket, oh
Ground for my bed
Rocks for my pillow
Use a rainbow for my spread
[Chorus]
Well, would you know, I'm not ashamed (I'm not ashamed)
Ain't that news? (Ain't that news?)
Whoa, I've been livin' with the blues
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Blue sky's my blanket
Rainbow for my spread
I use rocks for my pillow
I use the cold ground for my bed
[Verse 4]
Well, you ever been lonesome?
Well, you know how that feels
Well, you ever be lonely?
You got no drivin' wheel
[Chorus]
I'm not ashamed (I'm not ashamed)
Ain't that news? (Ain't that news?)
You know, I've been livin' with the blues
I'm not ashamed (I'm not ashamed)
Ain't that news? (Ain't that news?)
Oh, I've been livin' with the blues
