Can you see them beside the river Can you hear them singing the songs Black men beside river Singing the pain to ease my soul Can you see pain becoming a rhythm Can you hear them singing the dust Black men beside river Singing the pain to ease my soul From Blues to Rock... Like Chuck's doing From Blues to Rock... Just like Muddy did Singing the pain songs Jagger and Rich saved them from the river Can you hear the wolf in the night I still hear Johnson singing about hard times I'm singing It to ease my heart Black men beside river Singing the pain to ease my soul From Blues to Rock... Like Chuck's doing From Blues to Rock... Just like Muddy did Singing the pain songs From Blues to Rock... Like Chuck's doing From Blues to Rock... Just like Muddy did Singing the pain... Singing the pain songs
