White Boy Lost In The Blues Lyrics


You bought you a six string Gibson
You bought you a great big house
You try to sing like Muddy Waters
And play like Lightnin' sounds
But since I blowed my harp
You feelin' mean and confused.
It got you chained to your earphones,
You just a white boy, lost in the blues.
You got your 44 Desoto
Great big horns that toots,
44 bad buttons on your every-day suit,
But since I bent mah strings
You been feelin' mean and confused
It got you chained to your earphones,
You just a white boy, lost in the blues.
I got my home on the hillside
Never feel the cold

Got my loving woman
And the bluuues in my soul
Since I heard you cooking
I been really mean and confused
It got me chained to my headphones
White boy, lost in the blues...
It's got you chained to your earphones
Yer jes' a white boy. lost int he blues...
It's got me chained to my earphones
A white boy, lost in the blues...
It's got you chained to your earphones,
A white boy, lost in the blues!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Walter "Brownie" McGhee (November 30, 1915 - February 16, 1996) was a folk-blues singer and guitarist, best known for his collaborations with the harmonica player Sonny Terry (October 24, 1911 - March 11, 1986). Brownie McGhee was born in Kingsport, Tennessee and suffered from polio as a child, which incapacitated his leg. He spent much of his youth immersed in music, singing with local harmony group (the Golden Voices Gospel Quartet) and teaching himself the guitar. His real success did not come until his 1942 relocation to New York City, where he was teamed up with Sonny Terry.
