I grew up lonely, head always bowed Daddy said no music's allowed Then the devil arrived With a bright red Strat by his side There was nothing my Daddy could do The day I found the blues I left home and learned how to play This here guitar had so much to say Taught me to be free Cut loose the demons in me Music up and blew my fuse When I found the blues Deep soul music Salvation music I got some real good news The day I found the Blues Listen people, cos I'm here to tell Blues will put you under a spell Save your little soul And bring you in from the cold You got nothing, nothing to lose Come get saved with these sweet blues
