A Memphis, on l'appelait Blue
A Memphis, on l'appelait Blue
Il jouait le blues comme un fou
Sur le pont des bateaux à roues
Personne, personne joue
Le blues comme Blue
(2x)
Blue, un jour, a écrit un air
Blue, un jour, a écrit un air
Pour la femme d'un joueur de poker
Qui l'a jeté dans la rivière
Personne, personne joue
Le blues comme Blue
(2x)
Un bluesman de plus ou de moins
Un bluesman de plus ou de moins
En ce temps-là ce n'était rien
Ça ne valait pas plus qu'un chien
INTERLUDE INSTRUMENTAL
Personne, personne joue
Le blues comme Blue
(2x)
Le joueur de poker est mort
Le joueur de poker est mort
Etouffé dans son coffre-fort
Quant à Blue, on le joue encore
