Albert King: "I got the blues"

Desde siempre Albert King ha sido una de mis principales influencias. No sólo como guitarrista, también en el concepto que tenía de banda de blues. Una de las primeras cosas que me enseñó es que no hacía falta estar rebuscando complejos solos de guitarra para poder decir muchas cosas. Este tema es uno de mis favoritos, aunque desde luego la lista podría ser casi la discografía completa.

I GOT THE BLUES

.

I got the blues 'cause my woman has gone

Oh, I got the blues 'cause my woman has left

She took all of my hard earned money, yeah, she left with someone else

.

Listen, she wrecked my brand new car, she even pawned my diamond ring

Whoow, she wrecked my brand new car, she pawned my diamond ring

She poured the salt out of the shaker, she didn't leave me with a doggone thing

.

Cold hearted woman!

Hmm!

Well all right!

.

The blues can come to you in any shape or form

It can come to you in the shape of a woman, just like the one that left me alone

Now I got the blues and I'm not ashamed to say

I been tryin' to shake them, each and every day

.

I got the blues 'cause my woman has left

Well she took all of my money

The little girl left with someone else

.

I gotta find her

.

I got the blues 'cause my baby has left

Whoo, I got the blues 'cause my baby has left

She took all of my heard earned money, she left me for someone else

.

She wrecked my brand new car, she even pawned my diamond ring

Oh, she wrecked my brand new car, she girl even pawned my diamond ring

She poured the salt out of the shaker, Lord, she didn't leave me with a doggone thing

.

Come on Lucy let's find 'r, whoo

Whoo, is hot out here on this country road

.

Now the blues can come to you in any shape or form

It can come to you in the shape of a woman, just like the one that left me alone

Now I got the blues and I'm not ashamed to say

Oh I been tryin' to shake them each and every day

.

I got the blues 'cause my woman has left

Oh, she taken all of my woman, she left me for someone else
