It Don't Take Me No Three Days

I Went On To Cincinnati. I Had Got A Taste Of The Big Cities And Them Bright Lights. I Stayed There Until I Was About 18 Or 19 And Then I Went On To Detroit.

But I Don't Want To Do No Big Tours Or Go Out On The Road.

It's Never Hard To Sing The Blues. Everyone In The World Has The Blues . . .

I Never Build Myself Us. I Let The People Do That. I'm The Most Laid-back Person, And I Let Them Build Me Up. If You Ask Me, I Say, 'i''m Just A Guy Playin' Some Blues.

I Been Doing The Same Things As In My Younger Days, When I Was Coming Up, And Now Here I Am, An Old Man, Up There In The Charts. And I Say, Well, What Happened? Have They Just Thought Up The Real John Lee Hooker, Is That It? And I Think, Well, I Won't Tell Nobody Else! I Can't Help But Wonder What Happened.
