My Style Is All To

Poor People Have The Blues Because They're Poor And Hungry. Rich People Can't Sleep At Night Because They're Trying To Hold On To Their Money And Everything They Have.

No Matter What You Got, The Blues Is There

I Been Doing The Same Things As In My Younger Days, When I Was Coming Up, And Now Here I Am, An Old Man, Up There In The Charts. And I Say, Well, What Happened? Have They Just Thought Up The Real John Lee Hooker, Is That It? And I Think, Well, I Won't Tell Nobody Else! I Can't Help But Wonder What Happened.

I Went On To Cincinnati. I Had Got A Taste Of The Big Cities And Them Bright Lights. I Stayed There Until I Was About 18 Or 19 And Then I Went On To Detroit.

The One Thing The Blues Don't Get Is The Backing And Pushing Of Tv And Radio Like A Lot Of This Garbage You Hears. They Choke Stuff Down People's Throat So They Got No Choice But To Listen To It.
