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 now...
