Verse 1 I first got into the blues when I was just a kid Ramblin' up north it was one of two cassettes we had I had never really been exposed to it before but got to love the rawness and honesty of it (and) it's stayed with me ever since Verse 2 The Blues means different things to different folk It affects us all in different ways Some feel blue, some feel happy and some .... well… I am not here to tell you what it is or how to feel But there are folk who can! All I know is ..... CHORUS: Whistle Verse 3 Now..Memphis Slim said, not all them blues is sad. You got them happy Blues! According to Mr.Colins, the blues is simple. But simple music is hard. Muddy said, pure blues is when you have no money… Verse 4 For others it wasn't just about bad times. It was about the healing spirit Ma Rainey said, life's way of talking was the blues McGhee never had the blue but the blues always had him. And Robert went down the crossroads and his blues was red hot! All I can say is…. CHORUS: Whistle Verse 5 As you've heard there are a many kinda blues, Hues from all sides of life, Let me leave you with just one more... Piano Solo End CHORUS: Whistle

Hard times here, everywhere you go Times is harder than its ever been before And the people keep driftin' from door to door Can't find no heaven don't care where they go When you hear me singin' my lonesome soul These hard times last so very long And you say you got money, well, you better be sure! Hard times will drive you from door to door. If I ever get out of this, Hard Killin' Floor I'll never get down this low no more I will never get down this low.

A Hoodoo Jig for Dr.J 03:21
lyrics

Verse 1 Here starts the story of the Night Tripper Born under a Hoodoo Moon Under the guise of a healer Was the good doctor himself Starting on a 6 string sling, cut short by a ricochet He traded his plectrum, for a fine stretch of ivories Chorus Such a Night Such a Moon soaked night Casting spells from New Orleans Such a Night Moon so bright Weaving dreams in New Orleans Verse 2 Schooled by Clowns and Professors, it wasn't long before Mac was the daddy! Spreading his voodoo with his musical gumbo, Ohh yeahhh!!! The high priest of piano cast his spells far and wide Healing the needy and the needed With his amulet of sounds & poetry Chorus Such a Night Such a Moon soaked night Casting spells from New Orleans Such a Night Moon so bright Weaving dreams in New Orleans Improv Yeahh, go cast those spells Baby! Cast them far and wide... Verse 4 And here ends the story of Dr.John, Also known as Malcolm John Rebennack Junior The musical Night Tripper Always in the right place at the right time Casting spells from that bayou high above. for Maharaja's Outro Such a Night Such a Moon soaked night Casting spells from New Orleans
