Guitar King Songtext
von John Hammond

I′m a guitar king
Sing the blues ev'rywhere I go
Lord, have mercy, now
I′m a guitar king!
Sing the blues ev'rywhere I go
I'm ′on sing these blues
Till I get back to in yo′ territor'

Now, my mama tol′ me
Son, you 'most to old
Now, my mama tol′ me
Son, you 'most to old
I won′t forget
You gotta a sow


But that ain't none-a yo' bin′ess
Keep it to yo′self
That ain't none-a yo′ bin'ess
Keep it to yo′self
Don't you tell yo′ kid-man
Please don't tell nobody else

Now, I went to my baby's house, now-now
Knocked upon her do′
Went to my baby′s house
Knocked upon her do'
′What did she say?'
She had a nerve to tell me
That she didn′t want me no mo'

I said, ′That's all right, babe
Anyway you do
That's all right
Most an-ol-way you do
If you mistreat po′ Tommy
I swear it′s comin' back home to you′


It's a cryin′ pity
Lowdown, dirty shame
It's a cryin′ pity
An a cryin' lowdown, dirty shame
Crazy 'bout a married woman
′Fraid to call her name
