He was born in Mississippi 1924
  He was born in Mississippi 1924
  Left his home with no money
  He had to pay his dues
  But he knew the time was comin'
  When he'd be king of the blues
  King of the blues!
    Lost his heart to a woman
  Lucy was her name
  Lost his heart to a woman
  Lucy was her name
  Yes, it was
  When he hears her sing so sweetly
  He knows he just can't lose
  When he holds her in his arms he knows that
  He's the king of the blues
    He's a Hunter with a Crosscut Saw
  Born Under A Bad Sign
  Caught his baby messin' down the Laundromat
  He Almost Lost his Mind
  Yeah!
    He was born in Mississippi 1924
  He was born in Indianola, Mississippi 1924
  Yes, he was!
  He doesn't need no jester to keep him amused
  He's got Lucy by his side
  He's making headline news
  Doesn't need no palace
  Like Freddie down in Dallas
  You can call him what you like
  I call him king of the blues
    That's right
  Mister, Albert King of the blues
  Yeah!
  King of the blues.
  Let me hear ya!
