I'm Hooked On These Blues

Текст песни Floyd Taylor - I'm Hooked On These Blues

Ooh-ooh, yeah
I gotta tell you about this lady
She walked up to me
She said, "Can you help me, mister?
I got a problem
I might need two dollars"
She said, "Look at here"

Some folks are hooked on winning
They can't stand to lose
Some are hooked on pills, yeah, and some on all kind of booze
Some folks are hooked on cheating, can't stop sneaking around
Some are hooked on gossip, spreading lies all over town

But no matter what the problem, we all should try to solve them
She said, "I'm hooked on the blues
Hooked on the blues"

She said, "Got to have me a little B.B. King to start off my day
How about a Little Milton, y'all, down at Annie Mae's Cafe?
Gotta have a little Bobby Rush, take off my shoes
Play me some Z.Z. Hill and those down home blues"

A cocktail ain't no good in my hand, but dial some Bobby Bland
She said, "I'm hooked on the blues
The blue, yeah"

Some folks are hooked on diets
Can't stand to gain a little weight
Some are hooked on sweet song
Can't pass up a piece of cake
Some are hooked on raffles
Always trying to win a prize
Some are hooked on clothes
They got every color and size

All of these habits, we all should try to put 'em down
She said, "I'm hooked on the blues
I'm hooked on the blues, I can't help myself
I'm hooked on the blues
What am I going to do?"

Hooked on the blues
I am hooked on the blues
I'm hooked on these blues (hooked on the blues)
Don't know what I'm gonna do
But these my little dollars
Just might get me through, aw!

Some folks are hooked on winning
They can't stand to lose
Some are hooked on pills, yeah
And some on all kind of booze
Some folks are hooked on cheating, ha-ha
Can't stop sneaking around
Some are hooked on gossip
Spreading lies all over town

Whatever the problem, we ought to try to solve them
She said, "'I'm hooked on the blues, the blues"
She said, "I can't help myself
But what am I going to do?
I got to have my blues"

Muddy Waters (hooked on the blues)
Trying to find a mule
(hooked on the blues) Your daddy Johnny Taylor
It's still called a blues
She said, "I'm hooked on the blues"

Z.Z. Hill, oh yeah (hooked on the blues)
My Howlin' Wolf, hooked on the blues
Bobby Bland sure can sing the blues
