Blues Power

Blues Power - Albert King

This is blues power

Well

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
