[Du Hạ Thiên Giang]

When I was a boy, down in South Illinois,
I heard a man playing blues, oh, what a wonderful noise.
He had an old guitar, but not a dollar to his name,
Making music so sad, but he was happy just the same.
He gave me a wink, and said: "Son, let me share the news...
If you want a happy life, you gotta learn to sing the blues!"
