Lying About The Blues

(d. johnson/j. walker/c. cawte/s. turner)



Got a robert johnson photograph that you didn't know exists

Even got his autograph, let you have it for a kiss

I'm a liar baby but i only lie for you

There is nothin' in this world i wouldn't do for you



I met memphis minnie lola(?) and she taught me all i know

Told me how to sing the blues when that lonesome whistle blows

I'm a liar baby but you know it's just for fun

Don't know minnie lola(?) so put away your gun



Well i've lied about my name and lied about my age

Told so many damned lies and you know i've got away

Well i've lied around the world and i lied about the news

So it's me you'll belive when i've lied about the blues



- guitar solo -



Me and john lee hooker played a muddy water song

Working on the chain gang in the alabama sun



I'm a liar baby but i only lie for you

There is nothin' in this world i wouldn't do for you

I'm a liar baby but you know it's just for fun

Don't know minnie lola(?) so put away your gun



Lying about the blues

(repeat to fade)
