Child Of The Blues

I didn’t know Daddy til my twelfth Birthday

Four years later I was standing at his grave

From his eyes to his nose to the way he lived

Up in motor city I knew I was his

I’m a child of the blues

Deep in my soul

From Detroit city down to Muscle Shoals

I’m child of the blues

Yes I'm a child of the blues

Momma sang gospel with the Harmonettes

She left Alabama to give it her best

The choir came to see me the day I was my born

They said, “Take that baby back, he can’t be yours”

I’m a child of the blues

Deep in my soul

From Detroit city down to Muscle Shoals

I’m child of the blues

You know I'm a child of the blues

Child of the blues

I'm a child of the blues

Yes I'm a child of blues

Deep in my soul

From Detroit city down to Muscle Shoals

I’m child of the blues

You know I'm a child of the blues

Child of the blues

I'm a child of the blues

You know I'm a child just a child

From Detroit city down to Muscle Shoals

I'm a child of the blues

Child of the blues
