Ah the blues The ball and chain that is 'round every English musician's leg In fact every musician's leg Tryin' to kick it off baby? No no. You'll just never do it And these are the blues of time And the blues of a woman And a man thinkin' of her As time goes by  There is nothin' I can do If you leave me here to cry There is nothin' I can do If you leave me here to cry You know my love will follow you baby Mmm until the day I die  I've given you all I own; That is one thing you cannot deny Oh I've given you all I own; Baby that is one thing you cannot deny And my love will follow you baby Yeah Till the day this man dies.  I've got failure all around me No matter how hard I try. I've got failure It's all around me No matter how hard I Try try You know my ghost will haunt you baby Until the day you stop down and die Well you better get up Right now right now  Well You think that you have left me behind And that with your other man you're safe And you're away from me baby but uh One o' these days you're gonna break down and cry Because there is no escape from this man Because this man's love is so strong He's gonna haunt you You know my love will follow you Mmm until the day I die  There is just one thing I want to tell you before I go I'm gonna leave it I'm gonna leave it Leave it up to you So long baby bye-bye Hey I'm gonna leave it up to you baby So long baby bye-bye  Well you know my love will follow you Mmm 'til the day I die Till the day I die  Till the day I die  Till the day I die  Till the day I die  Till the day I am dead Till the day that they rest my head Till the day I die Till the day I I I I die Till the day I die  Till the day I die Till the day I die Till the day that you die and I die Till the day I die Till the day I die Till the day I die Till the day I die Till the day I die Till the day I die Till the day I die Till the day I die Till the day I die Till the day I die  Die Die Die Die
