The Blues Don't Change Songtext
von Albert King

Yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
I know they don′t change, they don't change
(The blues don′t change, they don't change)
I wanna tell you now, yeah

Give me a guitar string and a piano man
And a soulful cry to help me do my thing
You see, I've been around from town to town
And I know the blues don′t change
(The blues don′t change, they don't change) oh, no, they don′t change


You've heard right, and you′ve heard wrong (bee-bop, dee-bop)
But they faded out a long, long time ago
I've been playing the blues since 1954
And I know they don′t change
(The blues don't change, they don't change) oh, no, they don′t change

Oh, clever music and clever songs (no-no-no-no)
You know they′re here today and tomorrow they're gone
The blues just keep on hanging on and on
′Cause the blues don't change
(The blues don′t change, they don't change) I said they don′t change

My home is where I lay my head
Oh, but someday, mama, you know I'll be coming back (oh, yeah)
But right now I hear them calling my name
'Cause the blues don′t change
(The blues don′t change, they don't change) they know they don′t change


One-night stands, cigarette smoke (right here)
I've played from circuit clubs to riverboats
I′ve played them all, y'all
And I know, I know the blues don′t change (blues don't change, they don't change)
I know they don′t change
