I love to play my rock and roll but ive played the blues before

Had my share of heart but i dont play the blues no more

So if you meet the girl of your wildest dreams shes gonna turn out to be a curse

Love will hit you bad boy but the blues will hit you worse

If you wanna know how to play the blues.......get yourself a woman

Muddy Waters sang the truth back in 1941

Woman gonna get you like Jimi Hendrix with a gun

Mr Fred McDowell lost his pride when he begged his girl to stay

Mr Robert Johnson lost his life with too much love one day

so if you wanna know how to play the blues...get yourself a woman

I love to play my rock and roll but Ive played the blues before

Had my share of heart but i dont play the blues no more

So if you meet the girl of your wildest dreams shes gonna turn out to be a curse

Lve will hit you bad boy but the blues will hit you worse

So you wanna know how to play the blues.......get yourself a woman

Pick it sweet and slide it slow
