[Verse]
I was raised up on Jimmy Reed
Cornbread, collard greens, and black-eyed peas
Took my first bath in muddy water
All you mamas, you better look out for your daughters

[Chorus]
I'm a blues man
I'm a blues man
I'm a blues man
I'm a blues man

[Verse]
I'm an original, one of a kind
I don't do nothing but what's on my mind
Ain't got no boss man houndin' me
Out here on the road, I'm totally free

[Chorus]
I'm a blues man
I'm a blues man
I'm a blues man
I'm a blues man

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse]
I'm a man-child in the promise land
Plenty good lovin', tryna get all that I can
Don't need no mojo to see me through
'Cause I got the jones that'll conquer you

[Chorus]
I'm a blues man
I'm a blues man
I'm a blues man
I'm a blues man

[Outro]
And that's spelled B-L-U-E-S
That spelled blues (blues)
I'm a blues man (bluеs)
I'm a blues man
