They Say I'm Different

Lyrics

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
 Now instead she spitted snuff and boogied to Elmore James
 Spit on
 ♪
 They say I'm different 'cause I eat chitlins
 I can't help it, I was born and raised on 'em
 That's right, oh, every mornin' I had to slop the hogs
 And they be gettin' off humpin' to John Lee Hooker
 Gettin' off
 ♪
 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 be rockin' his moonshine to B.B. King and Jimmy Reed
 Rock on pappy
 ♪
 That's why they say I'm different
 And that's why they say I'm strange
 I'm talkin' 'bout Big Mama Thornton (talk about it, talk about it)
 Talkin' 'bout Lightning Hopkins (talk about it, talk about it)
 Talkin' 'bout Howlin Wolf (talk about it, talk about it)
 I'm talkin' 'bout Albert King (alright, alright)
 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 (talk about it, talk about it)
 I'm talkin' 'bout Muddy Waters (talk about it, talk about it)
 I'm talkin' 'bout Leadbelly, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Son House, and Freddie King (alright, alright)
 Bessie Smith
 Bessie Smith, oh, oh hey
 Oh, Bo Diddley have you heard it?
 (That's why) they say I'm different
 And that's why they say I'm strange
 And that's why they say I'm funky
 A Little Richard, Wild Lou, sunshine you sure can sing (alright, alright)
 Robert Johnson, Robert Johnson, Robert Johnson
 You play the blues for me
 And that's why, and that's why, and that's why they say I'm different
 And that's why, and that's why, and that's why they say I'm strange
 That's why, why, why, why
 That's why, why, why, why
 And that's why, why, why, why
 They say I'm funky, funky, uh-uh, funky, funky
 And that's why, why, why, why
 And that's why, why, why, why
 And that's why, why, why, why
 And that's why they say I'm different
 That's why, why, why, why
