What’s That Sound I Hear?
I've been down too long to sing you all of my blues
I've been here too long to sing you all of my blues
If I sing 'em now, ain't gonna make no headline news
Hurry down blues, I wanna hear you sing
Hurry down blues, I wanna hear you sing
I wanna know right now, just what sounds you're gonna bring
There's Clapton, Hendrix, Pete Green and there's Mayall, too
There's Clapton, there's Hendrix, there's Pete Green and then there's John Mayall, too
And there is Ainslie Dunbar and [?]
Pushing along the ways, Lord, they gotta move
(There's Steve Miller on piano)
I said, now tell me, tell me people, what's this sound I hear?
It's the blues
Tell me, tell me people, what's this sound I hear?
Used to be a long ways off but now I swear it's gettin' near
Really, I hear it all the time, I tell you why
'Cause it's the blues, it's roaring round and round my head
Blues, it's roaring round and round my head
[???] so strong, it's surely bound to spread
