Born To Play Guitar

I was born in Louisiana

And at the age of two

My mama told my papa

Our little boy’s got bules

I grew up real fast

And I’ve traveled very far

One damn thing’s for sure

I was born to play guitar

I got a reputation

Everybody knows my name

I was born to play guitar

People, I got the bules running though in my veins

Women in Chicago

They love me to the bone

But my love for my guitar

Keep me far way home

I got a reputation

Oh！

Everybody knows my name

Yeah... I was born to play guitar

I got the bules running though in my veins

I got six strings loaded

Oh my bad machine

Show me the money

And I’ll make the damn thing scream

And I’m gonna keep on playing

And on my dying date

A polka-dot guitar will be resting on my grave

I got this young reputation

Everybody knows my name

Buddy guy, that is

You know I was born to play here guitar

I got the bules running though in my veins
