King of the Blues
He's got Lucy by his side
Look you can call him what you like
Yeah
That's right
To keep him amused
Lost his heart to a woman
Yes, it was
When he hears her sing so sweetly
He almost lost his mind
King of the Blues
Yes, he was
Caught his baby messin' down the laundromat
Doesn't need no palace
Let me hear ya
He was born in Indianola, Mississippi, 1924

Lucy was her name

He's makin' headline news
But he knew the time was comin'
But I call him King of the Blues
Like Freddie down in Dallas
Left his home with no money

He's the King of the Blues
He had to pay his dues
When he holds her in his arms he knows that
He's a hunter with a crosscut saw
Born under a bad sign
Lost his heart to a woman
When he'd be King of the Blues
That's right
Doesn't need no jester
Mister Albert, King of the Blues

Ohh

Lucy was her name
He knows he just can't lose
He was born in Mississippi in 1924
