He Don't Play Nothin' But The Blues

(album: Mystic Mile - 1993)

Met a young man up in New York City
Don't carry a cap or a cane
Just an old guitar that he got from his daddy
He showed him a little to play

He got family down in Texas
Spent time in New Orleans
Went his own way learning to play what he choose
He don't play nothing but the blues

People say that he was born like that
Playing ever since he was 10
Got a funky sound and a funky way of talking
It's all the same to him
When he shows up you know he's gonna get down
Nobody's going nowhere
Cause he'll blow your mind playing just what he choose
He don't play nothing but the blues
Now play it!

Just an old guitar that he got from his daddy

Spent time in New Orleans
Went his own way learning to play what he choose
He don't play nothing but the blues
