King Of The Blues Lyrics - Singles - Moore Gary

(Gary Moore) 

He was born in Mississippi 

Nineteen twenty-four 

He was born in Mississippi 

Nineteen twenty-four 

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 

In nineteen twenty-four 

He was born in Indianola, Mississippi 

Nineteen twenty-four, 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 you
