Lyrics

All you people
You know the blues got a soul
Well, this is a story
A story never been told
Well, you know the blues got pregnant
And they named the baby Rock and Roll
Baby Seals said it
You know the blues got a soul
Harry Top said it
You know the blues got a soul
Well, the blues had a baby
And they named the baby Rock and Roll
Johnny Winter said it
You know the blues got a soul
Jake Thompson said it
You know the blues got a soul
Well the blues had a baby
And they named the baby Rock and Roll
Otis Spann said it
You know the blues got a soul
Queen Victoria said it
You know the blues got a soul
Well, know the blues had a baby
And they named him Rock and Roll
Written by: Brownie McGhee, McKinley Morganfield
