I love to play my Rock'n'Roll but I've played the blues before
Had my share of broken hearts but I don't play the blues no more
So if you meet the girl of your wildest dreams
She's gonna turn out to be a curse
Love will hit you bad boy, but the blues will hit you worse

If you wanna know how to play the blues,
Get yourself a woman

Muddy Waters sang out the truth back in 1941
Woman gonna get you like Jimi Hendrix with a gun
Mr.Fred McDowell lost his pride when he begged his girl to stay
Mr.Robert Johnson lost his life with too much love one day

So if you wanna know how to play the blues,
Get yourself a woman

Repeat First Verse
(I love to play my Rock'n'Roll...)

So if you wanna know how to play the blues,
Get yourself a woman

Pick it sweet and slide it slow
