by Albert Collins recording of 1980 from Frostbite (Alligator ALCD-4719) I play my music, the only way that I can Play my music only, only way I can Some people really dig it, some just don't understand I play my music only, only way I can I play my music, play it the only way I can Some people really dig it, some just don't understand I don't play the drums I can't disco dance But I can play the blues Put you in a trance I can play my music, only way I can Some people really dig it Some just don't understand Give my blues song, I'll play it all night long Give me a blues song, I'll play it all night long It may not sound right to you but I know that, that ain't wrong I don't do no country I don't do no jazz I don't do no punk rock That kinda razz-ma-tazz I play my blues song The only way I can Some people really dig it Some just don't understand Ooh-ho, yeah
