Lyrics:

[00:00.00]
[00:03.82](Spoken:) Lord have mercy,
[00:07.17]got to tell it, tell it just like it is, evy word.
[00:17.23]
[00:25.54]Yeah! I was living in St. Louis
[00:28.61]In the year of nineteen fifty five
[00:32.03]
[00:34.07]Mama didn have no great mansion,
[00:37.07]Just a little old country dive.
[00:40.22]
[00:42.54]Papa worked all week long,
[00:45.47]Try?to keep us six kids alive.
[00:48.37]
[00:51.06]So I hitch hiked to Chicago
[00:54.05]Just to hear Muddy Waters play
[00:57.67]
[00:59.52]I sat and listened to him sing
[01:02.37]Until the early hours of day
[01:05.97]
[01:08.42]I asked him what I could do to make it
[01:11.37]And it was he who showed me the way

[01:14.36]

[01:42.72]I went back home and wrote a song
[01:45.81]And made a record I could claim
[01:48.46]
[01:51.04]The little tune jumped on the charts
[01:54.08]And rode me right on up to fame
[01:57.69]
[01:59.84]It netted over ten thousand dollars
[02:02.85]And added glory to my name
[02:05.66]

[02:08.65]I was standing at the airport
[02:11.22]With my guitar in my hand
[02:14.87]
[02:16.69]And a first class ticket
[02:19.68]Destination movie land
[02:22.85]
[02:25.58]I will be in Hollywood, Mama
[02:28.45]Before the roosters crow again

[02:31.71]

[02:59.61]When I first started playing music
[03:02.64]Over sixteen years ago
[03:05.64]
[03:07.96]Every big town in the country
[03:11.07]From St. Francisco to Baltimore
[03:13.70]
[03:16.62]Trying to bring some happy hours
[03:19.77]Doing the only thing I know
[03:22.26]

[03:24.96]Can help it, but I love it
[03:27.91]Stand here, sing to you
[03:30.75]
[03:33.52]Brings back so many memories
[03:36.68]Many things we used to do
[03:39.11]
[03:42.05]ill I see you here again
[03:45.11]Take care,
[03:46.51]good luck to you
[03:48.18]
