The Blues Are Three L's - Living

I've Been Married Twice. Most Women Would Rather Not Be Married To A Traveling Blues Singer

I Think Ive Done The Best I Could Have Done. But I Keep Wanting To Play Better, Go Further. There Are So Many Sounds I Still Want To Make, So Many Things I Havent Yet Done. When I Was Younger I Thought Maybe Id Reached That Peak. But Im 86 Now, And If I Make It Through To Next Month, Ill Be 87. And Now I Know It Can Never Be Perfect, It Can Never Be Exactly What It Should Be, So You Got To Keep Going Further, Getting Better.

Sometimes The Proprietors Of The Little Juke Joints Gave Me A Couple Dollars. I Loved That. I'd Go Back Next Saturday.

I Never Use That Word, Retire.

I've Put Up With More Humiliation Than I Care To Remember.
