He was born in
Mississippi, 1924
He was born in
Mississippi, 1924
Left his home with no money
He had to pay his dues
But he knew the time was comin'
When he'd be
King of the
BluesKing of the
BluesLost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
Yes, it was
When he hears her sing so sweetly
He knows he just can't lose
When he holds her in his arms he knows that
He's the King of the
BluesHe's a hunter with a crosscut saw
Born under a bad sign
Caught his baby messin' down the laundromat
He almost lost his mind
YeahHe was born in
Mississippi in 1924
That's right
He was born in
Indianola,
Mississippi, 1924
Yes, he was
Doesn't need no jester
To keep him amused
He's got Lucy by his side
He's makin' headline news
Doesn't need no palace
Like Freddie down in
DallasLook you can call him what you like
But I call him
King of the
BluesThat's right
Mister Albert,
King of the
BluesOhhKing of the
