Lyrics: I've got to leave here, I've got to find someplace to go
I've got to leave here, I've got to find someplace to go
because the way things are happening here now I don't feel welcome here no more.
Going to get up in the morning, pack up my clothes and shoes
You might think I'm joking when I tell you I'm going to Newport News
I got the Blues, ohh let me tell you I have the Blues
I'm a guy you can't excuse, ohh let me tell you I have the Blues
Begin tasty guitar solo ๐ธ followed by awesome Hammond Organ solo๐น๐น๐
I tell all you working men go home a little before time
Then you catch your woman getting down wrong
Like I caught mine
That's what gave me the Blues
Ohh let me tell you I have the Blues
I'm a guy you can't excuse, ohh let me tell you I got the
BLUE OH OH OHHH BLUES

Myers was born in Laurel, Mississippi. He acquired juvenile cataracts at age seven and was left legally blind for the rest of his life, despite corrective surgery.] He could make out shapes and shadows, but could not read print at all; he was taught Braille.
He acquired an interest in music while a schoolboy in Jackson, Mississippi, and became skilled enough at playing the trumpet and drums that he received a nondegree scholarship from the American Conservatory of Music (formerly the American Conservatory School of Music) in Chicago. Myers attended school by day and at night frequented the nightclubs of the South Side.
There he met and was sitting in with Jimmy Rogers, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Little Walter, Hound Dog Taylor, Robert Lockwood, Jr., and Elmore James. Myers played drums with Elmore James on a fairly steady basis from 1952 until James's death, in 1963, and is credited on many of James's historic recordings for Chess Records. In 1956, Myers wrote and recorded what was to be his most famous single, "Sleeping in the Ground", a song that has been covered by Blind Faith, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, and many other blues artists; it was also featured on Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour show on "Sleep".

๐ง About This Track

The audio quality maintains professional standards, making it suitable for high-quality speakers, headphones, or sleep systems.
Engineered for sleep, this track maintains consistent volume levels and avoids any sudden changes that might cause awakening. The frequency range has been optimized to mask common sleep-disrupting sounds while remaining pleasant to the ear. The extended duration ensures uninterrupted rest throughout the night.
Listening to this audio can provide numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. The carefully designed soundscape promotes parasympathetic nervous system activation, helping the body shift from 'fight or flight' mode into 'rest and digest' mode. Regular listening can help establish healthy relaxation habits and improve overall stress management.
The science of sound therapy draws from multiple disciplines: psychology, neuroscience, and acoustic ecology. Research consistently shows that ambient sounds can modulate autonomic nervous system activity, shifting the body from stress response (sympathetic activation) toward relaxation response (parasympathetic activation). This occurs through multiple pathways: masking of disruptive environmental sounds, providing gentle cognitive engagement that prevents anxious rumination, and creating predictable soundscapes that signal safety to primitive brain regions. Regular exposure to relaxing audio can help establish positive feedback loops where the brain learns to associate certain sounds with calm states.
The community response to this audio has been genuinely appreciative, with 274,634 likes reflecting the genuine impact it has had on listeners worldwide.
