Lyric Lying About The Blues

(d. johnson/j. walker/c. cawte/s. turner)

Got a robert johnson photograph that you didn t know exists
Even got his autograph, let you have it for a kiss
I m a liar baby but i only lie for you
There is nothin in this world i wouldn t do for you

I met memphis minnie lola(?) and she taught me all i know
Told me how to sing the blues when that lonesome whistle blows
I m a liar baby but you know it s just for fun
Don t know minnie lola(?) so put away your gun

Well i ve lied about my name and lied about my age
Told so many damned lies and you know i ve got away
Well i ve lied around the world and i lied about the news
So it s me you ll belive when i ve lied about the blues

- guitar solo -

Me and john lee hooker played a muddy water song
Working on the chain gang in the alabama sun

I m a liar baby but i only lie for you
There is nothin in this world i wouldn t do for you
I m a liar baby but you know it s just for fun
Don t know minnie lola(?) so put away your gun

Lying about the blues
