Lyrics
Anyway, here's something, a bit of history that not all of you know
About, but the man who first, uh, brought American blues to England
Back in the 50s, was a man whose jazz band, uh, was the backing
For, um, responsible for bringing over to our shores some of the
Greatest bluesmen in America, namely, Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta
Tharpe, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, and I'd like to bring him
To the stage now for another little bit of a romp, Chris Barber
Yeah
Well, hey, Mister Lofton, what you gonna do?
I heard your boogie-woogie ragtime and blues
Well, hey, Mister Lofton, hear me call your name
Well, I got the blues this morning
Well, it ain't a shame
Well, where you going? What you gonna do?
You got to hold the money, got to get your ghetto
Well, now, hey, Mister Lofton, Cripple Clarence was your name
Well, I got the blues this morning
Well, but that's my game
Well, I tell you, Mister Lofton, think about you now
I'll get along with my piano somehow
Hey, Mister Lofton, Cripple Clarence was your name
Got the blues this morning
Well, it ain't a shame
