Blues Power Lyrics - Dickey Betts

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! 

Alright! Alright! Hey! Hey! Hey! Oh! Alright 

Ha, ha, ha! Well! Woo! Ha, ha, ha! Oh man! Hey! 

Ooh-oh! 

Woo! 

Thank you! 

Thank you very much! 

Thank you very kindly! 

Woo!
