Albert King - Blues Power

This is blues power! 

 Well 

 Play it now) 

 Everybody understands the blues 
 Are you listening? 
 Yeah! 

 I say everybody understands the blues 
 Everybody from one day to another has 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! 
 Ha, ha, ha 

 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 want to be wit' him everytime he cranks it up 
 An' go around the corner to the soda fountain 
 This is where she want to go an'show it off 
 Where all the girls and guys 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? ha, ha, ha 
 Yeah! 

 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, ha ha ha ha 

 The blues! 
 An' when you're doin' the blues 
 They so strong, that's the reason there named 
 They call 'em blues power, yeah 

 An' would you believe I invented blues power? 
 Yeah! 
 Ha, ha 
 Can you dig the blues power? 
 Yeah! 
 Let everybody say "yeah" 
 Yeah! 
 Say it again, say "yeah" 
 Yeah!
