Backstory:

This song is a tribute to Robert Johnson He played at every Juke joint in town. In time, he became the King and is thought of as the grandfather of Rock and Roll. He sold his soul at the crossroads to master the Blues. Music & Production by Aira Winterland (Brazil), Vocals and Lyrics by Clare Steffen (USA).  This song is an extended version, and I would suggest ending it at around 4:22, because the second chorus doesn't add anything new to the song, it could ended there or if remixed, just add and outro and cut the second chorus.

Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

Mississippi Delta grabbed a hold of me

It was at the crossroads I sold my soul

So I could master the blues, the rest is history

Some called me the grandfather of rock and roll



V2

I played at every Juke joint in town

In time, I became the King

Every night I brought the house down

Folks said that I could sing



Chorus

I was a country boy turned ladies' man

That got me in trouble more than once

It might have put an end to my life

After three days, life was gone from me

I'll live on as the first modern bluesman

Who knew his craft back to front

Sweet Home Chicago was a city filled with strife

But I really loved that intensity

'Cause I'm a bluesman

With those Breakin' Down Blues



Post Chorus

My guitar was my second voice

'Cause I could really make her sing



V3

Clapton said my music's soulful

So I guess I became a legacy

I was more than some honey-tongued fool

Terraplane blues was my destiny



Pre-Chorus

Carnegie Hall might have called to me

But I had those Walkin'Blues



Chorus

I was a country boy turned ladies' man

That got me in trouble more than once

It might have put an end to my life

After three days, life was gone from me

I'll live on as the first modern bluesman

Who knew his craft back to front

Sweet Home Chicago was a city filled with strife

But I really loved that intensity

'Cause I'm a bluesman

With those Breakin's Down Blues



Outro

I'm a bluesman

That's my legacy
