[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, shuffle drums, walking bass] [Verse 1] [male vocals] When I was just a boy of twelve mama came to me She said son who's Stevie Ray, an' who's this BB king? See she's Christian born and raised she saw Jesus when she prayed She gathered all my music up and threw it all away I haven't been the same Since I got the news I got the blues Mother Chuckin blues [Verse 2] Sittin' there in church one early Sunday morn Mama grabbed me by the ear she said, son let's be reborn I'm a blues man born and raised I saw Jesus when I played But this just didn't matter mama dunked me anyway I came out of the water Mama said now choose I chose the blues Mother Chuckin blues [Solo] [clean electric guitar solo with pentatonic bends and double stops] [Verse 3] She got me home unplugged the phone and beat me for a while She seemed to beat me harder still when all I did was smile She said I'll go to hell See Stevie there as well "Can't serve God and BB, too, far as I can tell" but I know just what I wanna do before I get my marching shoes I want the blues Mother Chuckin blues solo [Verse 4] Mama died the other day peaceful in her bed found her in my Skynard shirt, headphones on her head The blues is what she played she had a smile upon her face Left a note to me she wrote, "Now I know the way!" "..an' where would Jesus be If we didn't have the blues, I got the blues Mother lovin blues [Outro] One more time here we go [electric guitar solo continues] Chuckin mother Blues Mother lovin Blues mother chuckin blues.
