  • If you're down an' out, an' you feel real hurt
    Come on over, to the place where I work
    An' all your loneliness, I'll try to soothe
    I'll play the blues for you
    Don't be afraid, come on in
    You might run across, yeah, some of your old friends
    All your loneliness, I've got to soothe
    I'll play the blues for you
    Come on in, sit right here, let's rap awhile
    Ya see I'm kinda lonely too, ya know?
    An' loneliness is a very bad thing
    If ya let it get the best of ya
    An' loneliness can get ya down, ya know?
    Yeah, yeah, are you comfortable now?
    Yeah, yeah, that's outta sight
    Yeah, as I was sayin' before
    Loneliness can get you down, an' I have heard of, ah
    Loneliness blowin' some good people's mind, ya know?
    But ya can't do that
    This is a big world, this is a big world
    An' there's too many nice things happenin' in this world
    You're a very pretty girl
    Where you live?
    No, no, no, disregard that, that's okay, that's okay
    Most important thing, I wanna know you
    I say, I wanna know you
    That's groovy, ain't it?
    I'll play the blues for you
    I ain't got no big name
    Oh Lord, an' I ain't no big star
    I'll play the blues for you on my guitar
    All your loneliness, I'll try to soothe
    I'll play the blues for you
    Excuse me

    I am 14 years old and I love Blues so much. I love B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Eric Clapton and Many Others. About a week ago I listened to this song and I was like out of my mind. Albert King is a true Blues Legend and no matter what kind of mood I have, I always enjoy Blues! ❤

      Albert King was a hack who ran around telling everyone he was B.B. King’s half brother early in his career.

    I am a 70's baby, my parents were born in 1936 and 1940 respectively. My mother used to play the blues all day long when I was a child, my dad played his jazz, be-bop, and funk. My oldest sister was into the Philadelphia soul sound, classic R&B, My middle sister played disco and punk, my youngest sister listend to anything and everything Motown. Me, well hip-hop first came along I was in my pre teen years, on my 11th Birthday, I got two turntables, and a dj mixer. I would have all of the original samples of all the songs from all of the great music I was exposed to throughout my childhood years. I remember looking through my moms and dads records to find this song, after hearing Big Daddy Kane sample this in the mid 1980s. Currently my mom is in the beginning stages of Dementia. The one thing I can do to lift her spirits is play these old songs on my bluetooth....she comes alive again😃. She especially LOVES the Blues....and oh Al Green, she said ole AL kept her and my dad together during their rough patch, saying how my dad would always sing "Still in Love with you" lol. This songs brings back great memories for me

    This is to everyone that is playing guitar. Remember almost all hard rock and heavy metal is based on the blues. I've been playing guitar for 40 years. I first learned blues then hard rock and heavy metal. When I write my own songs I use all blues chords and scales to create my rhythms and leads. And I add a lot of distortion it sounds amazing. The blues are awesome!

      I first learned to play classical piano which turned to playing keyboards in various garage bands back in the mid to late 80s where I transitioned to rock and blues or boogie woogie piano. Eventually I took the plunge to guitar which I have come to love playing so much more than piano/keyboards and in the beginning someone asked me if I wanted to learn rock guitar. I of course said, yes, and he said learn blues my friend learn the blue's scales like you know your own name and the rest will just fall into place. I quickly had to go out a purchase a Fender though my Les Paul I dearly loved it had to take a back seat to the Fender.

    It’s been a little over a year that this now 51 year old brother has been learning to play the guitar 🎸. As I pick a song of the moment to learn which I was familiar with as it was sampled by Big Daddy Kane and EPMD, not only has this been what I’ve been learning as of late, but this man’s whole style is just smooth soul stirred in blues with a sprinkle of jazz and dash of funk and I can’t get enough of it. “Christone “Kingfish” Ingram takes it to another even another level with his versions but still. This is the man right here. Much respect to his gift and style. ✊🏾

      A bit late for my reply but there were actually 4 kings, you forgot Earl King. His contributions, although not as extensive as the other 3 (also its Freddie King not Freddy), are not to be ignored. That being said, I would literally kill to have the tone that Albert and Freddie had when playing.

But EVERY time I walked in the door my cousin Mary Nell knew what I wanted to hear. Sometimes I'd have to beg.
