This is a perfect song for a slow Sunday…kick back and enjoy this 1971 classic song by the Stones.
Mick Jagger wrote the lyrics about his breakup with Marianne Faithfull.
Bobby Keys played the saxophone on this track and Jim Price, who also came up with the horn arrangements, played the trumpet. They both joined The Stones for their 1970 European tour. Billy Preston also played the gospel organ on this track.
Sticky Fingers was the first album The Stones recorded on their own label and the first in which Mick Taylor played guitar on nearly all the tracks. The album peaked at #1 in the Billboard Album Charts, and #1 in Canada, and the UK.
Many consider this and Exile on Mainstreet their best albums.

I’ve Got The Blues
As I stand by your flame
I get burned once again
Feelin’ low down, I’m blue
As I sit by the fire
Of your warm desire
I’ve got the blues for you, yeah
Every night you’ve been away
I’ve sat down and I have prayed
That you’re safe in the arms of a guy
Who will bring you alive
Won’t drag you down with abuse
In the silk sheet of time
I will find peace of mind
Love is a bed full of blues
And I’ve got the blues for you
And I’ve got the blues for you
And I’ll bust my brains out for you
And I’ll tear my hair out
I’m gonna tear my hair out just for you
If you don’t believe what I’m singing
At three o’clock in the morning, babe, well
I’m singing my song for you
