ONE MAN BLUES
Written by Kato Hammond

Once there was a man from the city land
He worked real hard to do the best that he can
Up in the morning & off for the day
Trying to make things seem to go his way
He met a young lady whose love was true
His heart felt the glory, but then wouldn't you
Be real happy if you had the girl
Who made the difference in your world

But then why oh why did he have to cry
From the outside you'd see he was a happy guy
But down inside where his heart really set
The man still hasn't seen happiness yet

I said, One Man Blues
I said, One Man Blues
I said, One Man Blues
I said, One Man Blues

The man tried his damnest just to make things last
His girl kept telling him the past was the past
He knew she was right, but still he had a clue
That this girl would up and leave him too
They shared their little stories and they shared their laughs
They drank expensive wine from expensive glass
They went up stairs to their room up above
And they played sweet music as they made sweet love

But then, why oh why did he have to cry
From the outside you'd see he was a happy guy
But down inside where his heart really set
The man still hasn't seen happiness yet

I said, One Man Blues
I said, One Man Blues
I said, One Man Blues
I said, One Man Blues

Once there was a man didn't understand love
He asked for assistance from the heavens above
So late at night he would bow and pray
Hoping that happiness would come his way
He thought about his girl & how he chased her away
He hoped and prayed that she'd come back someday
He believed in the truth and to his surprise
His love was standing right before his eyes

And now that man doesn't have to cry
He knew he'd been wrong
He knew the answers why
So late at night he was able to sleep
Because his love had come back and made his life complete
I said, no more blues for the man with the strife
The girl he chased away had come back in his life
His heart felt the glory
He was happy to say
And they still live together 20 years today
