LYRICS
1) Chorus
I got the COVID-19 BLUES
Cuz I’ve been payin’ my Covid dues
Everything that could go wrong, did
But I simply refuse to quit
I got the COVID-19 BLUES
They ain’t goin’ away
2) Verse 1
On a Monday morning…Covid came to town
And before you knew it, the country was shuttin’ down
This was bad and about to get worse
It’s a plague on the universe
And we thank all the heroes who
Bravely put other lives first
3) Chorus
I got the COVID-19 BLUES
Cuz I’ve been payin’ my Covid dues
Everything that could happen, did
But I simply refuse to quit
I got the COVID-19 BLUES,
They ain’t goin’ away
4) Verse 2
It’s been a year, and they’ve been workin’ on a cure
To say that we’re “out of the woods” is premature
Do what’s right, that’s the bottom line
Don’t ignore any warning sign
Sooner or later we’ll dance in the sunshine
5) Chorus
I got the COVID-19 BLUES
Cuz I’ve been payin’ my Covid dues
Everything that could go wrong, did
But I simply refuse to quit
I got the COVID-19 BLUES,
They ain’t goin’ away
6) Bridge
So many people are hurting and suffering,
Cant pay the rent but they say we’re recovering
Watchin’ the news it’ll get you confused
But this much I know…
Further apart we are closer together
Even this terrible storm we can weather
7)Chorus
We got the COVID-19 BLUES
Payin’ our Covid dues
When we finally knock it down
And we’re startin’ to come around
And then the COVID-19 BLUES
They’ll be goin’ away

Jazz Foundations’ Covid-19 Musicians’ Emergency Fund
https://jazzfoundation.org/covid19fund/
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present our music community with some of the greatest challenges it has ever faced.
Persistent economic uncertainty, dwindling work opportunities, and limited options for relief have devastated the lives of many working musicians. In response, the Jazz Foundation created the COVID-19 Musicians’ Emergency Fund to provide direct and urgent financial assistance for basic needs like food, rent, and utility bills to jazz and blues musicians and their families, reeling from the impact of the pandemic.Donation Links:
