Sugar's got some sweetness to it, as do my baby's lips
And when she hears some ol' Howlin Wolf she's got to move her hips
Now she ain't much for the bluegrass fiddle, she likes that bottleneck slide
A little kick with a lot of bottom and let the resonator take the ride
So listen up, lookie here, I'm talking' bout them country blues,
Now you take some Black Diamond heavies on a J45
Hit them chords and get that thump you downright sanctified
Or you can take a lipstick pickup, play it through a Fender tweed
Oh it's sweet ...so sweet when it squeals, squalls and bleeds
So listen up, lookie here, I'm talking' bout them country blues,
Them down home country blues
You know I'm strong for the union and the rank and file
I talk with a southern drawl and still say honey child
Now I'm partial to old hooker's singing "Crawling King Snake"
And I say that Muddy Waters is as deep as William Blake
So listen up, lookie here, I'm talking' bout them country blues,
Them down home country blues
And when she hears some ol' Howlin Wolf she's got to move her hips
Now she ain't much for the bluegrass fiddle, she likes that bottleneck slide
A little kick with a lot of bottom and let the resonator take the ride
So listen up, lookie here, I'm talking' bout them country blues,
