Bullfrog Blues by Rory Gallagher (Live Performance)
LIve on the OGWT fron the TV Theatre, Shepherd’s Bush.
This is so, so incredibly good blues-rock. We love Rory and his music. When he sings”give that boy a six-stringed steel guitar” with that special look in his eyes.
What a fantastic, gifted, soulful and amazing musician. But criminally underrated! He deserved much more that he got. He was uniquely best. Let people know about him and let them get the feel of real music too.
RIP Rory ‘Gone But Not Forgotten’.
Lyrics:
Well did you ever
Well did you ever
Well did you ever
Well did you ever
Wake up with
Them Bullfrogs on your mind?
Well did you ever wake up
With them Bullfrogs on your mind?
You had to sit there laughing
Laughing just to keep from crying
My mother got ’em
My father got ’em
My sister got ’em
My brother got
I woke up this morning, my grandmother had them too
Don’t you know about that, I got the Bullfrog blues
Bullfrog
Called up my doctor, was not feeling so well
Well I called up my doctor, was not feelin’ so well
He looked inside his bag and said ‘Well’ “Well”
You don’t need no doctor, you don’t need no pill
You don’t need no doctor, you don’t need no pill
And take my advice, it’ll surly cure your ills
Head on down to New Orleans
The prettiest place you’ve eve seen
Head on down to the river bed
That’s where the music never ends
Open your ears, don’t you feel good
Get yourself one helluva shot of rhythm ‘n’ blues
Go on down to New Orleans
The greatest place you’ve ever been
Get on down to the river bed
Dig the music of the Cajun bands
Honky tonk piano, make you feel good
Open your ears to rhythm ‘n’ blues
Well did you ever wake up
With them bullfrogs on your mind”
Well did you ever wake up
With them Bullfrogs on your mind?
You had to sit there laughin’
Laughin’ just to keep from crying.
Well did you ever wake up
With them Bullfrogs on your mind?
Well did you ever wake up
With that one woman on your mind?
You had to sit there laughin’
Laughin’ just to keep from cryin’
