Little bit of heartache, a little bit of pain
A little bit of sunshine, a little rain
Stick it in a pot, then you make a rue
That's all you need to do, when you makin' a blues stew
A little bit of harp, a little guitar
Throw in a bass, and give me twelve bars
Stir it in a pot, that's all you got to do
That's the recipe y'all, when you make a blues stew
Well a pitch o' Muddy Water
a little Jimmy Reed
a pound o' Howlin' Wolf
Satisfaction guaranteed
Stir it in a pot, you use some spice and stew
That's all you gotta do, when you make a blues stew
You take a good woman
And a man who do her wrong
You put it all together
Then you got a blues song
Stir it in a pot, and you let it simmer on through
That's all you need to do, when you makin' a blues stew
Let's make it nowÂ…
