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 |
