Track 14 of 65 on the album "Presenting Eddie Noack" [Intro] G D7 G [Verse 1]
                     G     G7               C    C7
Don't know where I'm going... or where I've been

                    G                    D7
Do the blues follow me... or do I follow them?

                G      G7            C    C7
When you see me coming... expect bad news

                G                       D7                   G     G7
'cause when you meet me, mister, you'll shake hands with the blues
[Chorus]
            C                G
If I'm all alone or out in a crowd

             A7                           D7
Just over my head, there's a little black cloud

                   G     G7                    C     C7
Raining blues down on me... from my head to my shoes

               G          D7                   G
Oh, I'm always lonely, so shake hands with the blues
[Interlude] G D7 G [Verse 2]
           G    G7                C  C7
That gal I love... don't care for me

                 G                            D7
And I can't get along with the one that loves me

                  G          G7                 C   C7
I was born during hard times... and I'm telling you

           G                    D7                   G     G7
They ain't never got better, so shake hands with the blues
[Chorus]
                        C                       G
When I walk through the city, and this ain't no lie

                       A7                                    D7
The little kids on the sidewalk stop their games when I pass by

                  G     G7                     C   C7
Guess I better be going... got nothing 'gainst you

                 G                          D7                   G
If anyone should ask you, tell 'em you just shook hands with the blues
