Luyện nghe bài hát Mother Blues

When I was a man
About 21 years old
All I wanted was a girlfriend
And a Gold Top Les
Be careful of the things you for
You get 'em

There was a night club in
Called Mother
It's Lightning Hopkins played
And Freddy King payed some dues

All the dealers and
And young white hipsters, they all the scene
The at the door who checked ID's
Was 16

Aw, it was not a place for law biding
Jackie Jones he had 'em a habit, he couldn't stop
Aaid give me 500
And I'll you my Les Paul God Top

I my daddy's car down to Ross Avenue
And I it
I guess I should told him
He to the police someone stole it

It was the first of many bad decisions
I was to make for the 20 years
Oh, but I had me a

knows
That the nightlife
Begins the clubs close
they call after hours

It's 2 a.m. and gone
But the band, the dealers and Jones
And then the girls from the landing strip club over
After they put their clothes on

So I'm at Ma Blues and I'm on an amp
I'm "Twist and Shout"
And this tall drink of walks in
Like she might have to her way out

She come up to me and she
"You anything good on that guitar?"
I didn't say nothing, I kept on playing
She said, "Have you ever heard this
Called Polk Salad Annie?" I just kept

She said, "Every I hear that song
My insides feel like warm
And I just wanna off my clothes
And dance in my underwear"

I said, "Down in
the alligator grow so mean"
That's all I of it and it was enough

So we hit it off, me and dancer
We hit it off a metaphor
Like a for a hydrogen bomb
We was enriched uranium, super mass
We was a reaction, it was love and lust
Aw, mostly but a mutual attraction

So I was boys at 21 years old, I had it all
I had a fine girlfriend and a Gold Top Les Paul
Aw, the future, it promising
Oh but there were dark clouds on the

She was a girl
But she liked to drink and that ain't all
I come 4 or 5 times
And she pawned my Les

We up and she went to Hollywood
She married an

She got a job on the Hudson Brothers TV show
And modeling lipstick from Max
I got over her, I'm glad she done
I'm glad she alright, oh yes, I am

now me, I never busted through the gates
Into the big time as a rock and star
For 40 years I carried around an old Gold Top guitar

But and fate are mysterious things
In this old world
It was 20 ago I ended up marrying
That Mother Blues door

We had us a boy, 18 years old now, he's playing guitar
He up with that Les Paul Gold Top, yes, he did
Now I don't if he's gonna hang his life on it or not
But I'm very grateful for the time I get to share the with him

I'm grateful for the I get to play with musicians
Like George Reiff and Richards
I'm grateful I get to write these old songs
And travel around the world and play for people

And come out and hear me play
And the days that I keep my
Higher my expectations
Well, I have really days
