Lyrics : Tom Hambridge/Richard Fleming
Music : Tom Hambridge/Richard Fleming
I was born in Louisiana
And at the age of two
My mama told my papa
Our little boy’s got blues
I grew up real fast
And I’ve traveled very far
One damn thing’s for sure
I was born to play guitar
I got a reputation
Everybody knows my name
I was born to play guitar
People, I got the bules running though in my veins
Women in Chicago
They love me to the bone
But my love for my guitar
Keep me far way home
I got a reputation
Oh！
Everybody knows my name
Yeah... I was born to play guitar
I got the blues running through in my veins
I got six strings loaded
Oh my bad machine
Show me the money
And I’ll make the damn thing scream
And I’m gonna keep on playing
And on my dying date
A polka-dot guitar will be resting on my grave
I got this young reputation
Everybody knows my name
Buddy guy, that is
You know I was born to play here guitar
I got the blues running through in my veins
