You say that you want to play the blues
But a cat like you ain't got no clue
I'll take my Gibson
Make a mess outta you
Yeah I'll take my axe
And cut you half in two

A crosscut saw and a rolling stone
I'm a stranger here and I'm all alone
A bottleneck slide
My Telecaster's blue
Yeah I'll take my axe
And cut you half in two

Drummer's a brother from the deep Congo
Bass man's a junkie from Buffalo
Key to the highway
Red rooster too
Yeah I'll take my axe
And make a mess outta you

My Strat's on fire from a one finger chord
House man turning them away from the door
Don't mess with me
I got nothing to lose
I'll take my axe
And cut you half in two.
