B. B. King Blues Summit Lyrics
1.Playin' With My Friends

Vocal:B.B.King/Robert Cray

I'm gonna call up some of my buddies,
And a few of the ladies I know.
I'm gonna rent a hall and get them all and,
Put on a heck of a show.

Make sure we got a kitchen,
With a oven and a stove.
We'll all get in there cookin',
Then we'll throw open all the doors.

Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends,
We'll have a good time,
Playin' with my friends.

I'm gonna buy a 100 pounds of catfish,
Cook it all up on the grill.
Fix some beans and corn bread,
Everybody's gonna get their fill.

Then we'll grab all the guitars,
Greasy hands and all.
Someone'll count off a shuffle,
And man we'll have a ball.

Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends,
We'll have a good time,
Playin' with my friends.

Yes, we gonna buy some of that red, red wine,
The best that money can buy.
You gotta drink it all from a paper cup,
That this here Saturday night fish fry.

Everybody's gonna stand up,
Play their favorite tune.
You can pick any tune you want to,
As long as it's the blues.

Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends,
We'll have a good time,
Playin' with my friends.

6.There's Something On Your Mind

Vocal:B.B.King/Etta James

There's something on your mind
By the way you look at me
There's something on your mind, baby
By the way you look at me
And what you're thinking brings happiness
Oh and it brings misery

Please, please, don't try to tell me
I think, I, I understand
No, no, don't try to tell me, baby
'Cause I think, I, I understand
You want me to try and forget you
Well, I'll do
Baby, I'll do the best I can

You know it hurts you when you're in love with someone and you
know that
someone don't love you. It carries a heavy burden on your heart
to know
that the someone that you're in love with is in love with your
best friend.
And I'll tell you, when someone else is rocking you, rocking
your cradle, you
know, better than you can rock your cradle yourself, then
there's only one
thing for you to do. You just pack your clothes, turn around,
and slowly
walk out of the door. Look over your left shoulder as you go
out, then
you hang your head and you say --

Oh please don't try to tell me
Uh huh, I think, I understand
No, no, no, no
Please don't try to tell me
Because you think, you think I understand
Oh you want me to try
To try to forget you, baby
And I'll tell you, I'll do the best I can

You know after you have done all you could do and you can't take
no more,
then you go downtown, you get your big baseball bat and you come
back on
the scene where they both are still together, and then you just
go and kick
down the door. Now as you kick down the door you just start
beating the hell
of everybody that you can see, everybody that comes through the
door, and
just as you make up your mind that you're gonna try to forgive
her, then out
comes another one of your friends, and that really blows your
mind. So you go
and think about, you say to yourself, baby, I realize I've done
wrong but
please forgive me. And with a smirky smile on her face then she
look up at you
and she say.

If you ever think about me
(Oh I think about you, baby)
If you ever change your mind
(Oh you're staying on my mind, baby)
If you ever think about me
(Oh I think, I think about you all the time)
And if I ever cross your mind
(You stay on my mind)
Well, you know, you know
You know I'm yours
And I know, I know you got to be mine
(Yeah)

There's something on your mind, B.
I can tell by the way you look at me
(Oh there's something, on my mind, Miss James)
There's something on your mind
(Oh can you tell, there's something on my mind)
By the way you look at me
(Oh the way I look at you, you look good to me)
And what you're thinking brings happiness
(Yes, baby)
Oh and it can bring misery
(Yes, all right)


7.Little By Little

Vocal:B.B.King/Lowell Fulson

Baby, out all night
Until the break of day
Snap me up in everything I say
Little by little
Only you know that I can see
Bit by bit
Your love is slipping away from me

What you're doing, baby
You know it ain't right
I wonder what you're doing
That takes all night
Little by little
Only you know that I can see
Bit by bit
Your love is slipping away from me

Get so disgusted
When I try to kiss you
I just don't feel
Like I used to do
Little by little
Only you know that I can see
Bit by bit
Your love is slipping away from me

Tried to trail you last night
Baby, in my car
But I'm scared I might see
What I'm looking for
Little by little
Only you know that I can see
Bit by bit
Your love is slipping away from me

10.We're Gonna Make It

Vocal:B.B.King/Irma Thomas

We may not have a cent
To pay the rent
But we're gonna make it
We may have to eat beans everyday
But we're gonna make it
And if a job is hard to find
And we have to stand
In the welfare line
I've got your love
And I know you got mine
And we're gonna make it

We may not have a home
To call our own
But we're gonna make it
I know we will
We may have to fight hardships alone
We're gonna make it, I know we will
'Cause togetherness
Brings peace of mind
We can't stay down all of the time
I've got your love
And you know you've got mine
And we're gonna make it
I know we will

The car may be old
Our two rooms cold
But we're gonna make it
And though we can't spare
A roach a crumb
But we're gonna make it
I know we will
And if I have to carry around a sign
That says, 'Help the deaf
The dumb and the blind'
I've got your love
You know you've got mine
We're gonna make it
I know we will

We may not have a home
Just to call our own
But we're gonna make it
I know we will
We may have to fight hardships alone
But we're gonna make it
I know we will
'Cause togetherness
Brings peace of mind
We can't stay down all of the time
I've got your love
You know you got mine
We're gonna make it
I know we will

We're gonna make it

We're gonna make it, baby
I know we're gonna make it, baby


11.I Gotta Move Out Of This Neighborhood/ Nobody Loves Me But My
Mother

I think I'm gonna have to move, people
I gotta move out of my neighborhood
Hey, I said I'm gonna have to move
I gotta get out of my neighborhood
Because you see
The women they tell lies on me
And the men they just don't mean me
No doggone good

Every time my telephone rings
Some lady trying to play
Some old funny game on me
Every time my telephone rings
Some lady trying to play
Some old funny game on me
And every time my front doorbell rings
Some angry six foot man
With a knife in his hand

They say I'm in love with a woman
That works down at the Chicken Shack
They say Deacon Jones' wife
Gave me a brand new Cadillac
That's why I gotta move
I gotta get out of my neighborhood
I tell you the people
They tell lies on me
Hey, they just don't mean me
No doggone good

My landlady came by my apartment
She came by just to make up my bed
But it took her all night long
Can you imagine what the neighbors said
That's why I gotta move
Hey, I gotta get out
Of my neighborhood
I tell you the people
They tell lies on me
Hey, they just don't mean me
No doggone good

Hey, I gotta move
Hey, I gotta move
I gotta move
I gotta move

Hey, the people, the people
Don't like me here, people
Oh you know they just don't mean me
No doggone good

Nobody loves me but my mother
Sometimes I think
She could be jiving, too
Hey, nobody
Nobody loves me but my mother
And she could be jiving, too
Now I think you know
Why I act funny, baby
Oh when you do the things you do


12.Everybody's Had The Blues

Vocal:B.B.King/Joe Louis Walker

Everyone has had the blues at some time
And been used, I ain't lying
I've been used and abused
And I've got the blues, blues, blues
Over you

Everyone has had it hard at some time
People trying to find a peace of mind
I've been trying, I ain't lying
Trying to find a peace of mind
Over you

I lay every night
Thinking about my situation
I get the blues
Right off the bat
If we can just have
A decent conversation
You know that things
Wouldn't be so bad

Oh I was cheated, why I don't know
And mistreated by a no good so and so
I've been cheated and mistreated
And I've got the blues, blues, blues
Over you

I lay every night
Thinking about my situation
I get the blues
Right off the bat
If we can just have
A decent conversation
You know that things
Wouldn't be so bad

You've got to live and let live
When we were together
All you wanted for me was to give
Now I'm not giving, you're barely living
You're on your own
You're living all alone
Now we're through, me and you
And I don't have the blues, blues, blues
Over you
