Blues Power
Albert King
This is blues power
Well
Well, well
Play it now
Everybody understands the blues
Are you listening? Yeah
I say everybody understands the blues
Everybody from one day to another have the blues
You take the little baby that's layin' in the cradle
He can't get that milk bottle fast enough
He go to kickin' an' cryin'
An' goin' on, tearin' up the little baby bed
He got the blues
Can ya dig it? Yeah
You take this girl that's got this main squeeze
That's her boyfriend, that is, you know
An' he just bought a brand new GTO
You know she wanna be wit' him every time he cranks it up
Go around the corner to the soda fountain
This is where she wanna go an' show it off
Where all the guys and girls be
You know what I mean?
An' she get ready to go out this particular night
An' her mother say, "Daughter, you was just out last night
You can't go out tonight, that's too many nights in a row"
She go in the room an' fasten the door
An' won't answer the phone, won't eat
Won't talk to nobody, she got the blues
That's what's wrong wit' her
Some people call them the reds, the pinks
When ya get through it's the old-fashioned country blues
That's right
I haven't seen my main squeeze in ten long weeks, today
You know I got the blues
Can you dig it? Yeah
Oh, woo, alright
Ah, but wait, I don't think you're with me
Let's everybody get a thing goin' right here
Yes, yes, yes
Can you feel it? Yeah
I can't hear you, can you feel it? Yeah
Yes, yes
Sounds awful good, keep it, keep it right there chilin'
Keep it right there
The blues
An' when you're doin' the blues
They so strong that's the reason they're named
They call 'em blues power, yeah
An', an' would you believe I invented blues power? Yeah
Can you dig the blues power? Yeah
Let everybody say, "Yeah", yeah
Say it again, say, "Yeah", yeah
Alright, alright! Hey, hey, hey! Oh! Alright
Well! Woo! Oh man! Hey!
Ooh!
Woo!
