THE POWERS OF THE BLUES
When I was just a schoolboy, green as I could be
I’d go wanderin’ this town of music history
When a man asked me, “Son, ain’t you heard the news?
Boy, you ain’t heard nothing like the Powers of the Blues.”
I turned the corner onto Bleecker, and followed that sound
That joint WAS REALLY JUMPIN, THAT BAND WAS THROWIN DOWN
That’s when that feelin’ overtook me with that lonesome guitar sound
Man, I was lost, but now I’m found.
That’s the Powers of the Blues, talkin’ ‘bout the Powers of the Blues
Have you heard the news, ‘bout the Powers of the Blues?
Friday night you gonna feel alright down at Terra Blues
He was playin’ on the slide, pickin’ with his teeth
He could play behind his head, he could play it with his feet
Howl like the Wolf, bend it like the King,
Shuffle like the Bone, had his own Jimi thing
Yeah I’m talkin’ ‘bout the blues people
Come on Michael, let your sweet, sweet guitar sing!
That’s the Powers of the Blues, talkin’ ‘bout the Powers of the Blues
Have you heard the news, ‘bout the Powers of the Blues?
Friday night you gonna feel alright down at Terra Blues
Now listen, if you wanna hear the blues, the kind you can feel
Get on down to the village, man go see the real deal
You got a chance to hear the legend, you won’t never be the same
Talkin’ ‘bout that Stratocaster Master, Michael Powers is his name!
That’s the Powers of the Blues, talkin’ ‘bout the Powers of the Blues
Have you heard the news, ‘bout the Powers of the Blues?
Friday night you gonna feel alright down at Terra Blues
