My first time in life coming in the other day, they told me, they said, buddy, that's the crossroads.
And I said, I didn't never get there, but thank God I hung around long enough to see it.
And then, you know, from the Robert Johnson and the Muddy Waters and the Howlin' Wolf and all those people that came from here,
thank you, the John Lee Hookers, and then we were ignored for quite a few years.
If you shut up, I'm going to tell you the truth, and you don't have to read this in no book because they don't like to print this shit.
But if you don't want me to tell you the truth, you shouldn't have ever brought me here no way.
Then the British people got [G] those people music and they came [Bb] back here playing it,
[B] and everybody was saying it's [Gb] an invasion of British music.
[D] And they had a group [Gb] called The Cream, and they sounded like this.
I'm just going to give you an example of what they [G] sounded like.
They sounded like this.

[B] Then we had another guitar player that was hanging [Bb] around Seattle, Washington, and New York City, and they ignored him,
and he had to leave and go to England.
[D] And when he went to England, he'd come back, and he went over and he made something [B] go like this.

[N] Now before that, then they had another guitar player that the street was dedicated.
Man, Stevie Ray wasn't even born when they were talking about it.
I don't want to say that with these young kids in there, but you shut the fuck up.
They just dedicated a street to him tonight, and he was from here, and he made music go something like this.
