| Sugar’s got some sweetness to it
|
| As do my baby’s lips
|
| And when she hears some ol' howlin' wolf
|
| She got to move her hips
|
| She ain’t much for the bluegrass fiddle
|
| She likes that bottleneck slide
|
| A little kick with a lot of bottom
|
| Let the resonator take the ride
|
| So listen up, oh, lookie here
|
| I’m talkin' 'bout them country blues
|
| Now you can take some Black Diamond strings
|
| And put 'em on a J45
|
| You hit them chords, you get that thump
|
| You downright sanctified
|
| Or you can take a lipstick pickup
|
| And play it through a Fender tweed
|
| Oh, it’s sweet, so goddamn sweet
|
| When it squeals, squalls and bleeds
|
| So listen up, oh, lookie here
|
| I’m talkin' 'bout them country blues
|
| Ohh, oh, them down home country blues
|
| Now you know I’m strong for
|
| The union and the rank and file
|
| And I talk with a southern drawl
|
| And I still say, honey, child
|
| I’m partial to old hooker’s singing
|
| 'Crawling King Snake'
|
| And I say that Muddy Waters
|
| Is as deep as William Blake
|
| So listen up, yeah, lookie here
|
| I’m talkin' 'bout them country blues
|
| Oh, listen up, oh, lookie here
|
| I’m talkin' 'bout them country blues
|
| Ohh, oh, them down home country blues |
