Beale Street Blues Boy
Way down in Itta Bena
Down the Mississippi way
B. B. King was born
And boy could this guy play
This Beale Street blues boy
Watched T-Bone Walker strum
He said to himself one day
Like him, i will become
He toured many venues
Bringing audiences joy
With Lucille by his side
This Mississippi boy
Go go, go B. B. King go go
His own kind of blues
From his grass roots true
He plays from his heart
Since his first debut
This Mississippi boy
Named B. B. King
Could play the blues guitar
And sing, sing sing
" My entry into Raul's " B. B. King contest "
To be sung to Johnny B Goode, with the slight
chorus continuing after the fifth verse
