About the song
Obviously, dedicated to Mr. John Lee.
Lyrics
Hooker
The guy got swagger
I've built on mine
He loves to boogie
You know I try
He does the shuffle
And cheats the time
His god is music
The blues divine
You clap your hands
He won't take any
He wants your cash
To pay the rent
Can't call him greedy
Been through tough times
You wished he sang without the pain
But you know it won't be the same
He stomps his feet
And keeps a rhythm
You bounce your heads
He knows you're hooked
The stomping's faded
He's gone ahead
Left without The Hook
The blues will never be the same
The guy got swagger
I've built on mine
He loves to boogie
You know I try
He does the shuffle
And cheats the time
His god is music
The blues divine
You clap your hands
He won't take any
He wants your cash
To pay the rent
Can't call him greedy
Been through tough times
You wished he sang without the pain
But you know it won't be the same
He stomps his feet
And keeps a rhythm
You bounce your heads
He knows you're hooked
The stomping's faded
He's gone ahead
Left without The Hook
The blues will never be the same
