From the 12 inch single Nineteen by Phil Lynott with bonus Thin Lizzy trackAlso appeared on the live Thin Lizzy album BBC Radio One Live In Concert 1983A Night In The Life Of A Blues Singer(Lynott)In the old daysI could sing the bluesI had nothin' to live forAnd nothin' to loseAnd all the timeI was paying my duesLike an old blues singerAnd I had no troubles thenBut I had lots of friendsFriends they come and goAnd sometimes friendship endsAll the time, I've had a friend on whom I dependSo blues singerOh...Oh mama, mama, mama, this is your boyOh mama, mama, mama, mama, my soul's been destroyedOh mama, mama, your pride and joyIs a blues singerAn old blues singerAnd the party's over nowEverybody's goin' homeThe band is packin' upAnd I'm on my ownOh, but I miss you now you're goneMama, your boy's a blues singerSuch an old blues singerNothin, oh but nothin's changedOh sometimes you win sometimes you loseI lost ya mamaI lost ya mamaIn the old daysI could sing the bluesHad nothin' to live forAnd nothin' to loseBut all the timeYou must choseI'm an old blues singerOh...
