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
