Oh, I’ll tell you a history, baby
Happened several years ago
Was a land forgotten by the time
Sweet home Mississippi, where the blues men shine
Was an ordinary man, in an ordinary land
But darling he had a dream; he had a guitar in his hand
Oh Johnson, Robert met somebody new
Oh Johnson, devil seems to like you to
But men, don’t fall in this mistake
Man, you know that is gonna change your fate
Was a talent he already knew
I’m singing Darling, I’m singing the Johnson’s Blues
His sound was unbelievable
No one had ever seen that before
Cause with the devil, darling
He learns how to play and played more
Don’t think that this was a gift
It always have a price to pay, you know
Robert made a deal
So the Devil had his soul
Oh Johnson, Robert you met somebody new
Oh Johnson, The devil seems to like you to
But men you just fell in this mistake
Oh men, your fate is already change
Now there is no escape for you
That is just the Johnson’s Blues
