Bilingual
He was born in Mississippi in 1924
ย
He was born in Mississippi in 1924
Left his home with no money
He had to pay his dues
But he knew the time was comin'
When he'd be king of the blues
ย
King of the blues
ย
Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
ย
Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name (yes, it was)
When he hears her sing so sweetly
He knows he just can't lose
When he holds her in his arms he knows
That he's the king of the blues
ย
He's "The Hunter" with the "Crosscut Saw"
"Born Under a Bad Sign"
Found his baby messin' down the "Laundromat"
He "Almost Lost his Mind"
Yeah
ย
He was born in Mississippi in 1924
ย
He was born in Indianola, Mississippi in 1924 (yes, he was)
ย
He doesn't need no jester to keep him amused
He's got Lucy by his side
He's making headline news
Doesn't need no palace
Like Freddie down in Dallas
You can call him what you like
I call him "King of the blues"
That's right, mr. Albert King of the blues
ย
King of the blues
Let me hear ya
