Bio lyrics

(Spoken:) Lord have mercy, got to tell it, tell it just like it is, evry
word.

 

 Yeah! I was living in St. Louis

 In the year of nineteen fifty five

 Mama didnt have no great mansion,

 Just a little old country dive.

 Papa worked all week long,

 Tryn?to keep us six kids alive.

 

 So I hitch hiked to Chicago

 Just to hear Muddy Waters play

 I sat and listened to him sing

 Until the early hours of day

 I asked him what I could do to make it

 And it was he who showed me the way

 

 I went back home and wrote a song

 And made a record I could claim

 The little tune jumped on the charts

 And rode me right on up to fame

 It netted over ten thousand dollars

 And added glory to my name

 

 I was standing at the airport

 With my guitar in my hand

 And a first class ticket

 Destination movie land

 I will be in Hollywood, Mama

 Before the roosters crow again

 

 When I first started playing music

 Over sixteen years ago

 Every big town in the country

 From St. Francisco to Baltimore

 Trying to bring some happy hours

 Doing the only thing I know

 

 Cant help it, but I love it

 Stand here, sing to you

 Brings back so many memories

 Many things we used to do

 Till I see you here again

 Take care, good luck to you
