Lyrics Boz Scaggs – Educated Fool

Well, the blues went to town on the back of a mule
He looked around and went to school.
Well, it didn’t take long and he turned back around
Said Lord, please save me from an educated clown.

So the blues left the country in a Cadillac,
Said I’m leavin’ this town and I won’t be back.
All this readin’ and writin’ and arithmatic
And all this learnin’ ’bout to make me sick.
Educated fool, educated fool,
Educated fool, educated fool.

Well, the blues went up the river on the back of a fish
Said if I could I’d have one wish.
Don’t want no silver, diamonds and jewels,
Said Lord, please me from an educated fool.
Educated fool, educated fool,
Educated fool, educated fool.

Well, the blues jumped a rabbit and run him a mile,
The rabbit sat down and he cried like a child.
The blues said son you got to learn one rule,
Don’t place no trust in a educated fool.
Educated fool, educated fool,
Educated fool, educated fool.
