Album: Turn The Heat Up | Official Website: | Download Album: | Lyrics: I never win at love At love I always lose I keep looking for a good man And I ain’t got no clue I can’t find no one to love me I guess I’m married to the blues Married to the blues There’s a picture by my bedside In a frame that’s got a crack Of one of my old lovers Who ain’t never comin’ back He swore he’d never leave me Then I saw him start to pack Start to pack Oh when you’re married to the blues You don’t get no bag of gold All you get is a lonely cab ride To a bed that’s always cold When you’re married to the blues Forget that honeymoon All you get is lukewarm lovin’ That’s over way, way too soon There’s a letter in my pocket It’s all torn Torn and frayed The only thing Only thing he left me When he ran Ran away Now when you’re married to the blues It gets more lonely everyday Oh... All these blues I knew he would leave me He was never comin’ back He left me a torn letter Then he ran away Ran away Married to the blues Oh... All these blues You get so lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Married to the blues Shemekia is the female blues artist of her generation, blessed with a huge, cathartic voice and larger-than-life presence.
