For Warren.... The Ballad Of John Lee Hooker I've got the hand me down blues I've got the hand me down blues I feel just like a fool I think I'll jump into a pool I got the hand me down blues Now nobody gets hurt Said nobody gets hurt Nobody gets hurt When I do my work Nobody gets hurt I feel a need to pray I said I feel a need to pray Gonna do it both night and day When the blues they come my way I feel a need to pray Now I've got to go to work Now I've got to go to work My feet they might hurt But I got to go to work Now, I've been working real hard Picking daisies from the yard Yeah, I'm working real hard Picking daisies from the yard Yeah, I'm working real hard Now, I've got to sing my blues I've got to sing my blues It's a very radical view I'm coming home to you I've got to sing my blues Easy Rider by my side Said Easy Rider's by my side I can strum, pick or slide It's a case of do or die With Easy Rider by my side I just can't stand still Said I just can't stand still When the blues is given me a chill I just can't stand still So I need a place to go Some where south like Mexico Where the sun is sinking low So I can rest my ach'n soul I need a place to go But, I just got the news They say I've got the hand me down blues And I'm feeling pretty used Knowing that I've got / these hand me down blues Now I just got to feel alright Said, I've just got to feel alright With the moon a shinning bright And the world a sitt'n tight I just got to feel alright Now wheres my Cadillac Said wheres my Cadillac Now, I've got to get on back Play the blues and yak Now wheres my Cadillac I went and saw John Lee He touched my soul, you surely must believe One of the best blues men ever to be found So you better stick a around To hear that bluesy sound So you better stick around I think it's time to go Said I think it's time to go I've got to do another show And it might be rock and n roll I think it's time to go So I'll see you later on Said I'll see you later on Or until the break of Dawn I'll see you later on But at the break of day The blues might roll your way And if your just like me The blues will set you free That's if your just like me So hail-hail rock-n-roll Your my little brother don't you know So keep on keep'n on And the blues will tag along So hail, hail rock-n- roll There is no time or distance in the spirit of the world Peace.....
