Jackhammer blues

Do you know what does "blues" mean in " jackhammer blues" in the following song? I know what a jackhammer is but have not heard of jackhammer blues ever.


I've got those jackhammer blues, I've been trippin' on a hard rock pile,
I've got the jackhammer blues, I've been trippin' on a block o'slag,
I can hear my hammer trippin' while I'm tryin' to get some sleep at night.

Jackhammer, jackhammer eatin' that rock away;
Look at my jackhammer chompin' that rock away;
Takes fourteen cranes and dumptrucks just to follow me around a day...
