Get it while it's hot      I've been all over Europe   And across the sea   With each new place   It gets clearer to me   Week after week   On tour with my band   You don't have to speak   'Cause they all understand      The power of the blues   Hey, hey, the power of the blues   And that's good news   I'm talkin' about the power of the blues      Yes, it's just a few changes   That I won't deny   But if you think it's easy   You just give it a try   You know the truth   But you're afraid to say it   That it ain't what I play   It's the way that I play it      That's the power of the blues   Yes, the power of the blues   You'll change your views   When you hear the power of the blues      Now me and Lucille   We're gonna stop this war   I'm no politician   But I know the score   You can call me a hawk   Or maybe I'm a dove   But all we gotta do   Is shoot 'em full of love      With the power of the blues   Hey, the power of the blues   It's the thing to use   Talkin' about the power of the blues, yes I am
