Bob Wills Played the Blues

Bob played the fiddle now and he made it ring
You know he was the king of western swing
When he played, well the people went wild
They was crazy ‘bout that Playboy style
Bob always played it from the heart
Bob Wills played the blues

It started down in Texas in the cotton fields
On Saturday night people yelled for Bob Wills
People come from miles just to hear him play
He had the power to take their troubles away
Bob always done it with a whole lot of soul
Bob Wills played the blues

bridge:
Bob was playing something brand new
Country, jazz, pop, and blues
When he played people out of their seats
They was crazy about that Playboy beat

From Texas and Oklahoma where they went worldwide
Bob touched people deep down inside
Playboys they was innovators
Had imitators but no duplicators
Bob always done it his own way
Now Bob Wills played the blues.
