BLUES RESPONSIBILITY

He put the poison in the whiskey
Mississippi love in vain
"Messing with my wife?
This potion gonna drive you insane!
I'll see you crawlin' on the floor; hear you barking like a dog
Hey, Robert Johnson gonna bury you by your crossroads!"

And every day
In every way
When you talk about R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B...
Responsibility
Blues Responsibility!
Responsibility
Blues Responsibility!

Down on Dockery Farm wait for sundown to come along
Muddy Waters is tired but he sits down to write a song
Says, "I'm a hoochie coochie man!
And I'm a Rolling Stone!
So I'm going to Chicago!
The south side be my home!"

And every day
In every way
When you talk about R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B...
Responsibility
Blues Responsibility!
Responsibility
Blues Responsibility!

John Lee Hooker sits on stage
Patent leather shoes
Never misses a beat
Two white girls
Frizzy hair; light cigarettes
Endless boogie
Boom, boom, boom
(One - Two...)

See her walkin' down the street
Looking tough as Al Capone
Says, "My name is Bessie Smith
New Orleans is my home."
You know, after the wreck, the hospital turned her away!
They said, "Sorry, baby, this is where the white folks stay."
And every day
In every way
When you talk about R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B...
Responsibility
Blues Responsibility!
Responsibility
Blues Responsibility!
