Lyrics
I got the six-string fever when I was but a baby boy
Addiction affliction all I know it brings me so much joy
Rock and roll Memphis Mussel Shoals played me some gospel too
Now I put that all together and do this thing I call riffin the blues
Been around the world and I picked me up a trick or two
Learned from the very best kind enough to show me what to do
Of all that Cannonball heard his call - he took this old boy to school
Might just hear his guitar sing in this thing I call riffin' the blues
I feel it in my jukin bone Kick up a little bit rock n roll
Give it a whole whole lotta soul
I call it rffin' the blues – riffin'the blues
Yes I've had the six-string fever since I was a baby boy
And even to this day it still brings me oh so much joy
Rock and roll Memphis Mussel Shoal ah and that gospel groove – yes for sure
Love how it's all come together in this thing I call riffin the blues
Yes I feel it in my jukin bone Kick up a little bit rock n roll
Give it a whole whole lotta soul
I call it rffin' the blues – riffin' the blues
I feel it in my jukin bone Kick up a little bit rock n
Give it a whole whole lotta a sou I call it rffin 'the blues – riffin' the blues
