The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning.

But I don't want to do no big tours or go out on the road.

Groups are corporations now. They have pension plans. Musicians have saw the daylight.

All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.

If they played more blues, people would just get it - they try to hold it back but just about can't hold it back now because the blues is really going.

Since you knew they was goin' to cheat you anyway, I recorded under any name with all of 'em.

When I die, they'll bury the blues with me. But the blues will never die.
