Robert Johnson was the king of the blues
He was the best around
I was standing right beside him
On the night the deal went down

Hopped a freight with Johnny Shines
Rode down to New Orleans
We walked the back streets together
You know the man was born to sing

Allow me to introduce myself
I´m what you get when you got nothin´ left
I´m the pain the trouble and the truth
I am the low down dirty blues
I am the low down dirty blues

Followed Mighty Wolf to Memphis
To Sam Phillips and the Risin´ Sun
He put the dust of the delta
In every word of the songs he sung

Muddy Waters was the king pin
The head hocho and the big hoo-doo
I was standing there beside him
When he electrified the blues

Allow me to introduce myself
I´m what you get when you got nothin´ left
I´m the pain the trouble and the truth
I am the low down dirty blues
I am the low down dirty blues
