When A Guitar Plays The Blues
by 
Albert Collins 
recording of 1983 
from 
Don't Lose Your Cool (Alligator ALCD-4730) 
You get the strangest kinda feelin', that's when the guitar plays the blues 
I say, you get the strangest kinda feelin', that's when a guitar plays the blues 
Your body gets the message, and you know, you know, your soul has just got to move 
You might even bat your eye 
You might even snap or cry 
The feelin' you're feelin' within you babe 
You know you just can't hide 
You're kinda strokin' like that 
You're kinda bendin' like this 
And it reaches down inside you 
And your soul just can't resist 
You get the same kinda feelin' 
When the guitar plays the blues 
Your body sure gets the message 
Yes, you know, you know, your soul has just got to move 
And when the music is over 
And it's time to turn out the lights 
You know the blues goes home with ya 
Soothes you through the night 
You get the strange kinda feelin' 
When the guitar plays the blues 
Your body gets the message 
And you know, you know, you know 
Your soul has just got to move
