Lyrics Conquistador - Big Head Todd and the Monsters

Conquistador

Shakin' ‘em down and drunk on a holiday
Dishin' them ‘lectric blues in an old school way
Lucy and Glenda Jones and an old beef bone
Drinkin' that whisky juice till they all alone
They was blues conquistadors, soul conquistadors
Old Betty Mae was movin' it and doin' it right
Muddy and John Lee rockin' in the house of blue light
Trouble and worry come back on another day
Nellie’s aunt Bee got down and began to pray
They was blues conquistadors, soul conquistadors
You got to mess around to feel right
Then you slow it down sometimes, just enough to get me home
You got me digging in a coal mine — diggin' in a blues mine
Jesus gonna help me get there with them blues conquistadors, soul conquistadors
Been twenty odd years since they burned that Checkerboard lounge
Listen that Howlin' Wolf make a nasty sound
Muddy and John Lee you know they passed away
But the Gin room boogie still make you shake a leg
