They Say I'M Different

They say I'm different cause I'm a piece of sugar cane Sweet to the core that's why I got rhythm My great grandma didn't like the foxtrot Nah, instead she'd spit her snuff and boogie to Elmore James They say I'm different cause I eat chitlins I can't help it I was born and raised on 'em, that's right Every mornin' I'd have to slop the hogs And they'd be gettin' off humpin' to John Lee Hooker They say I'm different cause I'm a piece of sugar cane And when I kick my legs, I got rhythm My great grandpa was a blues lover He'd be rockin' his moonshine to B.B. King and Jimmy Reed, rock on now... And that's why they say I'm different And that's why they say I'm strange I'm talkin' 'bout Big Momma Thornton Lightning Hopkins Howling Wolf Albert King Chuck Berry Chuck Berry Chuck Berry When I was sweet sixteen And that's why they say I'm different And that's why you think I'm strange I'm talkin' bout T-Bone Walker (I get my) Muddy Waters Leadbelly Sonny Terry Brownie McGhee Son House and Freddie King Bessie Smith Bessie Smith Oh hey Bo Diddley have you heard That's why they say I'm different That's why they say I'm strange That's why they say I'm funky Little Richard wow you sure showed 'em you sure could sing Alright alright Robert Johnson Robert Johnson Robert Johnson He played the blues for me That's why And that's why And that's why they say I'm different... That's why And that's why And that's why they say I'm strange... That's why And that's why And that's why they say I'm funky...
