King of the Blues

He was born in Mississippi, 1924
He was born in Mississippi, 1924Left his home with no money
He had to pay his dues
But he knew the time was comin'
When he'd be King of the Blues
King of the BluesLost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
Yes, it wasWhen he hears her sing so sweetly
He knows he just can't lose
When he holds her in his arms he knows that
He's the King of the BluesHe's a hunter with a crosscut saw
Born under a bad sign
Caught his baby messin' down the laundromat
He almost lost his mind
YeahHe was born in Mississippi in 1924
That's right
He was born in Indianola, Mississippi, 1924
Yes, he wasDoesn't need no jester
To keep him amused
He's got Lucy by his side
He's makin' headline newsDoesn't need no palace
Like Freddie down in Dallas
Look you can call him what you like
But I call him King of the BluesThat's right
Mister Albert, King of the BluesOhhKing of the BluesLet me hear ya
