The Power of the Blues Songtext
von B.B. King

Get it while it′s hot

I've been all over Europe and across the sea
With each new place, it gets clearer to me
Week after week, on tour with my band
You don′t have to speak 'cause they all understand

The power of the blues
Hey, hey, the power of the blues
And that's good news
I′m talking about the power of the blues


Yes, it′s just a few changes that I won't deny
But if you think it′s easy, you just give it a try
You know the truth, but you're afraid to say it
That it ain′t what I play, it's the way that I play it

That′s the power of the blues
Yes, the power of the blues
You'll change your views
When you hear the power of the blues

Now, me and Lucille, we're gonna stop this war
I′m no politician, but I know the score
You can call me a hawk, or maybe I′m a dove
But all we gotta do is shoot 'em full of love


With the power of the blues
Hey, the power of the blues
It′s the thing to use
Talking about the power of the blues
Yes, I am
