I don't need no Victrola
No radio in my home
I don't need no Victrola
No radio in my home
When I want music, I can make my own

(instrumental & guitar)

'Play it!'

I'm doin' a song for my woman
I hope you don't get me wrong
I'm doin' a song for my woman
I hope you don't get me wrong
I've got a windy spell, an all I do is turn it on

(instrumental & harmonica)

I want ev'rybody listenin'
While I blow this song
I want ev'rybody listenin'
While I blow this song
I'm a 'Harmonica King an Miss-sippi is my home

(harmonica & instrumental)

'Blow it, boy'

(guitar)

(harmonica to end)

'Yee-eah!'

'Blow that thing, Gillum, blow it'.
