[Verse] When I left Birmingham Lord I had no idea where I was goin' When I left Birmingham Lord I had no idea where I was goin' My baby was gone Had nowhere to call home [Pre-Chorus] So I started to ramble And I rambled all the way to Chicago [Verse 2] Somewhere 'tween Birmingham and the delta Met a man Said "Son You got the blues in your soul" Somewhere 'tween Birmingham and the delta Met a man Said "Son You got the blues in your soul" He said "I can make you a deal And Son You could be the best blues man ever was" [Pre-Chorus] So I sold my soul to the devil And he said "Boy You're a natural" And I traveled all the way to Chicago [Chorus] I play the Bama blues in Chicago Play the Bama blues in Chicago If you can't hear my southern drawl I play the Bama blues in Chicago [Bridge] Somewhere 'tween Birmingham and the delta Met a man Said "Son You got the blues in your soul" Somewhere 'tween Birmingham and the delta Met a man Said "Son You got the blues in your soul" He said "I can make you a deal And Son You could be the best blues man ever was" So I sold my soul to the devil And he said "Boy You're a natural" And I traveled all the way to Chicago [Chorus] I play the Bama blues in Chicago I play the Bama blues in Chicago If you can't hear my southern drawl I play the Bama blues in Chicago
