Lying About The Blues Lyrics - Dr. Feelgood

(d. johnson/j. walker/c. cawte/s. turner) 

Got a robert johnson photograph that you didn't know exists 

Even got his autograph, let you have it for a kiss 

I'm a liar baby but I only lie for you 

There is nothin' in this world I wouldn't do for you 

I met memphis minnie lola(? ) and she taught me all I know 

Told me how to sing the blues when that lonesome whistle blows 

I'm a liar baby but you know it's just for fun 

Don't know minnie lola(? ) so put away your gun 

Well I've lied about my name and lied about my age 

Told so many damned lies and you know I've got away 

Well I've lied around the world and I lied about the news 

So it's me you'll belive when I've lied about the blues 

- guitar solo - 

Me and john lee hooker played a muddy water song 

Working on the chain gang in the alabama sun 

I'm a liar baby but I only lie for you 

There is nothin' in this world I wouldn't do for you 

I'm a liar baby but you know it's just for fun 

Don't know minnie lola(? ) so put away your gun 

Lying about the blues 

(repeat to fade)
