King Of The Blues |
The day I was born, the moon crossed the sun |
Mama cried, «sweet Jesus what have I done? |
Lord have mercy on my unfortunate son» |
Before I drew my second breath, Mama knew |
She’d just given birth to the King of the Blues |
And on that day somewhere somebody else died |
Alone in a dark room and nobody cried |
‘Cause there can only be one and I can’t be denied |
Outriders told everybody the news |
The King is dead, long live the King of the Blues |
I’m the King of the Blues, thirteenth of the line |
The first of my name and the last of my kind |
One foot in the grave, one hand on the handle of time |
Descended directly from St. John the Conqueroo |
I’m the High Priest of Heartache and the King of the Blues |
I’m a lover, a fighter, a prophet, a fool |
The keeper of confidences, the lord of misrule |
A consummate jack-of-all-trades of the Dickensian school |
But they ain’t never made no love I couldn’t lose |
I’m the last word of lonesome and the King of the Blues |
