PRISONER OF THE BLUES
(Tommy Ruick)
TOMMY RUICK (Sun unissued, prob. 1956)

Well, the prisoner of the blues
Well, I must fit in this way
Or think it was meant for us to part
Well, my heart's a jailer and you are the key
Well, you're the only one can set me free

Well, I stole your love and without your consent
And now I'll pay the price, gee
With a heart broke, in repair
Why must I be alone dear
Yeah, when all I want is you
Don't make me stay a prisoner of the blues

Well, the prisoner of the blues
So I'm destined to be
Well, I know you love another
Oh, why not set me free
Well, I could go my way dear and find somebody new
When I look into her eyes I'll only think of you
