Story behind the song
I got fed up with being told "White men can't play the blues"
Lyrics
Never seen the Missippi, never been to Chicago town,
Life’s had its highs, but lately they’ve been downs
The Mailman comes each mornin’ he’s always bringin’ me more bad news.
I never picked no cotton, but I love to play the blues
I never played no juke joint, ain’t never busked on Beale.
Sure I’m white but that’s all right ,cause blue’s the way I feel
I never gamble, I know I’m gonna lose.
I never picked no cotton, but I love to play the blues.
Break
Well the guy who said Hey Johnson, them worried blues ain’t so bad
Well he couldn’t have been havin’ the same old blues I had
Somebody help me, pass me down my travellin’ shoes
I never picked no cotton, but I love to play the blues
Break
Ain’t never picked no cotton, but I love to play the blues
