(spoken:) lord have mercy, got to tell it, tell it just like it is, evy word.

Yeah! i was living in st. louis
In the year of nineteen fifty five
Mama didn have no great mansion,
Just a little old country dive.
Papa worked all week long,
Try?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

Can help it, but i love it
Stand here, sing to you
Brings back so many memories
Many things we used to do
Ill i see you here again
Take care, good luck to you
