Song 7 - Those Recession Blues

When I wake up in the mornin' I pull on my ol' shoes

Yeah when I wake up in the mornin' and pull on my ol' shoes

I pay no heed to warnin' 'bout those recession blues.

When you lose all your money and you're fallin' behind oh oh oh

When you lose all your money and you're fallin' behind

Don't go messin' with the devil boy don't you go losin' your mind.

Well you know you can't give what you ain't never got yeah...

You know you can't give what you ain't never got

And you can't really live when you're losin' the plot.

There's sweet music and good times all around us everywhere

Sweet soul music and good times all around us everywhere

If we really do believe there's a heaven somewhere.

Now...when I wake up in the mornin' I pull on my ol' shoes yeah...

When I wake up in the mornin' and pull on my ol' shoes

I pay no heed to warnin' 'bout those recession blues.

When I wake up in the mornin' I pull on my ol' shoes

When I wake up in the mornin' and pull on my ol' shoes yeah yeah yeah

I pay no heed to no warnin' 'bout those recession blues.

There's a sub strata of blues music which is optimistic rather than pessimistic - this song is of the former kind.
