Starting out of Memphis, highway 61
|
Traces of the places where the blues began
|
Sun is blazing, horizon far
|
Echoes of a national steel guitar
|

Yazoo river rolling through the land
|
Cradle of the blues, that delta land
|
Cottonfields, catfish farms
|
Steady-rocking rhythm since the dawn of time
|

Wade Walton's barbershop, backroom booze
|
Shave and a haircut, lots of rhythm 'n blues
|
Greenville juke joint, Saturday night
|
Get down 'n boogie till the morning-light

Broken down Chevy on a muddy track
|
Ten people sharing a two-room shack
|
Folks so poor, nothing to loose
|
Get religion or that lowdown blues
