Lyrics:

(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,

tryto 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
