What's That Sound I Hear - Alexis Korner

I’ve been down too long to sing you all of my blues

I’ve been here too long to sing you all of my blues

If I sing 'em now, ain’t gonna make no headline news

Hurry down blues, I wanna hear you sing

Hurry down blues, I wanna hear you sing

I wanna know right now, just what sounds you’re gonna bring

There’s Clapton, Hendrix, Pete Green and there’s Mayall, too

There’s Clapton, there’s Hendrix, there’s Pete Green and then there’s John

Mayall, too

And there is Ainslie Dunbar and

Pushing along the ways, Lord, they gotta move

(There's Steve Miller on piano)

I said, now tell me, tell me people, what’s this sound I hear?

It’s the blues

Tell me, tell me people, what’s this sound I hear?

Used to be a long ways off but now I swear it’s gettin' near

Really, I hear it all the time, I tell you why

'Cause it’s the blues, it’s roaring round and round my head

Blues, it’s roaring round and round my head

so strong, it’s surely bound to spread
