|
| [00:09.07] |
I got things to do and places to go. |
| [00:12.79] |
When I'll be back I just don't know. |
| [00:15.99] |
I love my country, my love is strong. |
| [00:19.53] |
But you know damn well that you done me wrong. |
| [00:23.22] |
Well I'm a, a bluesman, I was born to be. |
| [00:26.92] |
My greatest love is to be free. |
| [00:31.23] |
I'm a, a bluesman, that's what I am. |
| [00:35.36] |
If you don't like it I don't give a damn. |
| [00:38.57] |
From Jamestown to foreign shores. |
| [00:43.12] |
I built your country and I fought your wars. |
| [00:47.06] |
I came home and my reward, |
| [00:50.64] |
Were chain gangs and the ghetto floor. |
| [00:54.19] |
Cause I'm a, a bluesman, I was born to be. |
| [00:58.19] |
My greatest love is to be free. |
| [01:01.72] |
Well I'm a, a bluesman, that's what I am. |
| [01:05.69] |
If you don't like it I don't give a damn. |
| [01:09.08] |
I'm going to tell you, stay out my way. |
| [01:13.66] |
You just might end up DOA. |
| [01:21.03] |
You talk the talk, but you can't walk the walk. |
| [01:22.10] |
And I don't really care to hear you bitch and squawk. |
| [01:24.50] |
Cause I'm a, a bluesman, |
| [01:27.02] |
I was born to be. My greatest love is to be free. |
| [01:32.50] |
(harp solo) |
| [02:12.12] |
I ain't gonna let you forget my name. |
| [02:15.40] |
You wanna play but you don't know my game. |
| [02:18.43] |
Mother to father, father to son. |
| [02:22.58] |
The only way that the blueblood runs. |
| [02:25.65] |
Cause I'm a, a bluesman, black flesh and bone. |
| [02:29.62] |
I'm no pretender to the throne. |
| [02:33.20] |
Rope, lash and fire, blood, sweat, and tears, |
| [02:38.13] |
A legacy of six hundred years. |
| [02:41.08] |
A bluesman, I was born to be. |
| [02:45.25] |
My greatest love is to be free. |
| [02:48.67] |
I'm a bluesman that's what I am. |
| [02:52.67] |
If you don't like it I don't give a damn. |
