You and I have felt before
The tide of trouble upon the door
Though we be from different shores
We're Bound by the Blues
Lightnin' falls from the sky
Muddy Waters on the rise
In songs that get us through the timesBound by the Blues
Sisters and brothers
Of every color
Bound to one another
Bound by the Blues
Flat blade across the strings
Cone cries the Reso rings
The metal body lady sings
Bound by the Blues
She's an easy rider on the back
Freight train down the track
Tales worth tellin' that
Are Bound by the BluesSisters and brothers
Of every color
Bound to one another
Bound by the Blues
Voodoo chile and a white strat
Baton Rouge's a bummer that
Noel said no lookin' back
Bound by the Blues
On the res where she began
Sainte-Marie took a stand
With songs she wrote for every man
Bound by the Blues
From a scale off the chart
Every note for a broken heart
Each and every piece apart
Bound by the BluesSisters and brothers
Of every color
Bound to one anotherSisters and brothers
Of every color
Bound to one another
Bound by the Blues
