I could have been a gambler 'Cause I'm good with the cards I could have been a lover Breakin' other's hearts And I feel so silly Bettin' on the dice And a lover seldom sees The same girl twice And that is why (that is why) That's why I chose (that's why I chose) I chose to sing the blues, yes I did Now, I could have been a doctor Helping the sick And I could have been a lawyer But you know that ain't my stick 'Cause I feel so bad If a patient didn't do well And I feel just as bad To leave a client in jail And that is why (that is why) That's why I chose (that's why I chose) I chose to sing the blues [Sax solo] Now a man has a lot That he could present Just to think I could have been President But I can't understand What politicians say So I want to talk to you In my own little way And that is why (that is why) That's why I chose (that's why I chose) I chose to sing the blues Yes I did, friends Don't you know what I mean I like what I'm doin' You know, I like the blues Everybody understands What I mean when I say Something like this here Unnnnnnn-hoo Yeah Yeah-hoo That's what I'm talkin' 'bout when I sing
