1. STORY OF THE BLUES (EDIT)

My baby she left me, my baby she's gone
My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown
Can't think of a reason for going on
From this day I will play the blues.

She said it was over, this time it's the end
Bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend
I still can't believe it, after all we've been through
Everyday I will play the blues.

Everybody knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without
She came from Chicago
She read me the news
In the headlines was a story of the blues.

They say a broken heart can always mend
Time is the healer and sadness will end
But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again?
Till that day I will play the blues.

Everybody knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without
Could have cried me a river
when they told me the news
On that day was a story of the blues.

4. KING OF THE BLUES (LIVE)

He was born in Mississippi 1924
He was born in Mississippi 1924
Left 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 blues!

Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
Yes, it was
When 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 blues.

He's a Hunter with a Crosscut Saw
Born Under A Bad Sign
Caught his baby messin' down the Laundromat
He Almost Lost his Mind.
Yeah!

He was born in Mississippi 1924
He was born in Indianola, Mississippi 1924
Yes, he was!
He doesn't need no jester to keep him amused
He's got Lucy by his side
He's making headline news
Doesn't need no palace
Like Freddie down in Dallas
You can call him what you like
I call him king of the blues.

That's right
Mister, Albert King of the blues
Yeah!
King of the blues
Let me hear ya!

2. MOVIN' DOWN THE ROAD

I'm movin' on down the road

I'm movin', I'm movin' on down the road
I don't know where I'm goin'

I'm movin', movin' on down the road
I don't know where I'm goin'
