Hum Drum Blues

Oscar Brown Jr.

Life can be mighty monotonous
We're always battlin' boredom
Where, tell me where has it gotten us
Everything's still so doggone hum-drum

Stuck in a rut, gettin' nowhere fast
Ooh, hum-drum blues
Fightin' the future and mad with the past
Aah, hum-drum blues

Ooh honey
When you ain't got money
Then you just can't do as you choose
Just gotta live with the hum-drum blues

Each day's just like the day before
Ooh, hum-drum blues
Work like a dog but I'm mighty poor
Ooh, hum-drum blues

Ooh, {?} It'll run you naughty
When you find yourself in my shoes
Stumbling along with the hum-drum blues

Don't know which way I'm goin'
I don't know which way I comе from
Rainin', or shining or snowin'
Everything's still so doggone hum-drum

Love mе honey, I wish you would!
Ooh, hum-drum blues
Sure would do me a world o' good
Ooh, hum-drum blues

Oooh baby
If you love me, maybe
We could get together and lose
Those mean old hum-blues
Hum-drum blues
Hum-drum blues
Hum-drum blues
