Albert King

I walked into your store Just to have a look around
Asked if you could help me with the bargain I had found
Tried to explain to you darlin'
That I was just a working man
You came up with some term that I could not understand
Oh Little Lady
You sure drive a hard bargain

The price your asking mama is too much for me to pay
Now you're trying to tell me, I can't have it lay away
I know that your merchandise is good
Because your sample proved it so
And if it was to kill me little girl
Oh what a good way to go

The other day a woman stopped me
She said daddy let me talk to you
She said now listen I aint beggin
I'm just lonesome and I'm blue
Once I had a good man
But I didnt know how to act
By the time I learnt my lesson
My good man wouldnt take me back
She cried that was too much for me
Thats why I walked the back street and cried
But it hurt me so bad, yeah
Yeah that the man I misused said goodbye

I said rap on baby

I sent a friend to talk for me
And she say I did the best I could
I lied like a dog for you
I just couldnt do you no good
Thats why I hit the backstreet there
Just as drunk as I could be
The man I had misused
He passed and didn't look back at me
I said its too much for me
Thats why I walk the backstreet and cry
Well, it hurt me so bad, it hurt me so bad
To hear the man I misused say goodbye

Ahhh...

I had the galls to call him
He said you lowdown as you could be
And last time we had an argument
You know called the police on me
They raid me out of my house woman
While you stood there on and grinned
Now the police can't help you little girl
Cause they cant bring me in
She said that was too much for me
Thats why I walk on the backstreet and cry
Ohh it hurt me so bad, it hurt me so bad
To hear the man I misused say goodbye

That's what she said
Yeah, come on

Around the globe...

Whooo...

Left my home in Texas
I moved to Arkansas
Now if you think I'm goin' back again
Oh my God, no, no

I don't wanna lose this groove, I got to move

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do

I'm living in a kind of daydream, I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem, to me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near you

I see your face in every flower, your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love

They call me the hunter, that's my name
A pretty woman like you, is my only game
I bought me a love gun, just the other day
And I aim to aim it your way
Ain't no use to hide, ain't no use to run
'Cause I've got you in the sights of my love gun

The first time I saw you, standing on the street
I says to myself, "Woo, ain't she sweet"
I've got my love gun loaded, with hugs and kisses

And when I pull the trigger, there will be no misses
Ain't no need to hide, ain't no use to run
'Cause I've got you in the sights of my love gun

Ain't no use to hide, ain't no use to run
'Cause I've got you in the sights of my love gun

I'm the big bad hunter baby
How can I miss when I've got dead aim

Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I've never have you again in my heart.

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I've never have you again in my life.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Feelings...

Oh you come home one eve'nin'
To nothin' but the four walls
And then ya find your phone been disconnected
You can't even make no call
Ya hung out for your baby, oh, an'she's not there
You look in the closet, buddy, an'you find it's all bare

Oh, that's what the blues is people
That's what the blues is all about
Well that's a hard pill to have to swallow, um!
When you find what the blues is all about

Now listen to this:

I went out to my backyard
Ya know I whistled for my dog (3 whistle sounds)
He ran up under the house, people
Like he didn't even know me at all
Now I hadn't fed him in two or three days
An' he was lookin' kinda thin
Oh, when your dog turn his back on ya, buddy
You know ya haven't even got a friend

That's the blues, people


That's what the blues is all about
Oh it's a hard pill to swallow, um!
When ya find out what the blues is all about

Oh, look out!
Uh!
Oh no!
I think I got 'em!

I went out to my mail box
I got a bunch-a bills that I can't pay
I guess my wife been out shoppin' again
While I been at work all day

I see the man comin' with his tools
Now is he gonna cut off my water?
You know they got my gas yesterday
An' they comin' right back for the lines tomorrow

Ah, that's what the blues is people
