If You Don't Think You've

Someone Told Me Once That Blues Is Like Whiskey. They Keep Whiskey In The Barrel For So Many Years, And Then They Talk About How Well It's Aged. But I Don't Think That Goes For Him. I Think This Young Man Has Just Stepped In There Sayin', 'i'm Gonna Prove You All Wrong.' I Think He's Like A Watermelon, Man. He's Ripe.

Once I Was Checking To Hotel And A Couple Saw My Ring With Blues On It. They Said, 'you Play Blues. That Music Is So Sad.' I Gave Them Tickets To The Show, And They Came Up Afterwards And Said, 'you Didn't Play One Sad Song.'

They Just Said, 'roll The Tape.' No Rehearsal Or Nothing... Muddy [waters] Didn't Come In And Say 'i Wanna Rehearse.' He Used To Look At Me And Say 'let's Just Play The Blues. That's All You Need To Do.

Don't Be The Best In Town. Just Try To Be The Best Until The Best Come Around.

Even The Disc Jockeys Are Saying, If I Play Your Record, I Made You. You Got To Play For Me Free.
