Buddy Guy - Born To Play Guitar Lyrics

Smooth jive right here.

THANK YOU MR.BUDDY GUY

Am I the only one who hears Red House around 2:58 and Mannish Boy around 4:08?

Thank you for signing my "Born to Play Guitar" album at the show in San Antonio last year! You are unbelievable!

[Verse 1]
I was born in Louisiana
And at the age of two
My momma told my papa
Our little boy's got the blues
I grew up real fast
And I've traveled very far
One damn thing's for sure
I was born to play the guitar

[Chorus]
I got a reputation
And everybody knows my name
I was born to play the guitar
People, I got blues running through my veins

[Verse 2]
Women in Chicago
They love me to the bone
But my love for my guitar keep me far away from home

[Chorus]
I got a reputation
Oh, everybody knows my name, yeah
I was born to play my guitar
I got the blues running through my veins

[Verse 3]
I got six strings loaded
On my bad machine
Show me the money
And I'll make this damn thing scream
I'm gonna keep on playing
And on my dying day
A polka-dot guitar will be resting on my grave

[Chorus]
I got this young reputation
And everybody know my name
Buddy Guy, that is
You know I was born to play this [?] guitar
I got the blues running through my veins

Had the great pleasure of meeting Buddy in Bristol City Centre in 1965 when me'n my brother hitched up for the American Blues Festival. He was in the middle of eating his take out chicken lunch but he took the time to indulge two young aficionados. Such a humble, sweet & 'friendly chap'

Just watched his performance at the White House. Awesome!

Greetings from Poland ! Buddy Guy!

This is a REAL song

I still Remember where I Met B.G. in Chicago outside his club chicago outside his club legends about 3 blocks away from the Congress Inn hotel where we were staying and I was out on Tour working for Elvin Bishop at the time I got into an argument with B.G. tech to move the car out of the way so we could get in B.G. himself came out and diffused it. Buddy Guy is a very cool individual as a person and pretty level headed. That was one of the most magical rooms I've ever heard blues players playing I actually have a picture of myself there on his with E.B. Old Red Bone 345.. I see where Elvin goy some of his showmanship from when he plays fishing goes out into the crowd. But he doeent do it quite Like Buddy Guy who spends time out in the crowd up closes and personal. Buddy Guy is a Great Showman This is My personal opinion but many others probably agree with me too. Last time I saw Buddy Guy I was up at the Russian River in California. He did a great job then wow

Sheer greatness! Buddy Guy, you are the master!

your mum was right, I guess

Great... Love it!  Born to Play the Guitar...

Awesome 🎸💜 I love it, thank you Mr Buddy Guy x
