I'll Play the Blues for You [live] Songtext
von Albert King

If you′re down an' out, an′ you feel real hurt
Come on over, to the place where I work
An' all your loneliness, I'll try to soothe
I′ll play the blues for you

Don′t be afraid, come on in
You might run across, yeah, some of your old friends
All your loneliness, I've got to soothe
I′ll play the blues for you

Come on in, sit right here, let's rap a while
You see I′m kinda lonely too, you know?
An' loneliness is a very bad thing
If you let it get the best of you
An′ loneliness can get you down, you know?


Yeah, yeah, are you comfortable now?
Yeah, yeah, that's outta sight
Yeah, as I was sayin' before
Loneliness can get you down, an′ I have heard of, ah
Loneliness blowin′ some good people's mind, ya know?

But you can′t do that
This is a big world, this is a big world
An' there′s too many nice things happenin' in this world
You′re a very pretty girl
Where you live?

No, no, no, disregard that, that's okay, that's okay
Most important thing, I wanna know you
I say, I wanna know you
That′s groovy, ain′t it?
I'll play the blues for you

I ain′t got no big name
Oh Lord, an' I ain′t no big star
I'll play the blues for you on my guitar

All your loneliness, I′ll try to soothe
I'll play the blues for you

Excuse me
