Born under a bad sign
He's a hunter with a crosscut saw
Lucy was her name
Look you can call him what you like
That's right
He had to pay his dues
Doesn't need no jester
King of the Blues
He was born in Indianola, Mississippi, 1924
He's the King of the Blues
But he knew the time was comin'
When he hears her sing so sweetly
Doesn't need no palace
Caught his baby messin' down the laundromat
Yes, he was
King of the Blues
Lost his heart to a woman
When he'd be King of the Blues
Mister Albert, King of the Blues
When he holds her in his arms he knows that
To keep him amused
Yes, it was
That's right
He's got Lucy by his side
He was born in Mississippi in 1924
Like Freddie down in Dallas
Ohh
Lucy was her name
He knows he just can't lose
But I call him King of the Blues
Yeah
Left his home with no money
Lost his heart to a woman
He's makin' headline news
He almost lost his mind
