You know how it feels, you understand
What it is to be a stranger in this unfriendly land
Here’s my hand, here’s my hand
Take it darling and I’ll follow you
Let me walk, I want to walk right by your side
Let your love be my only guide
Here’s my hand, here’s my wand
Why don’t you take it darling and just lead me on?
Lead me on, lead me on
I know I’m a stranger and so all alone
Here’s my hand, here’s my wand
Why don’t you take it darling and just lead me on?
And I’ll follow you
Little Boy Blue and his baby against the troubles of the world, set against the musical force of a full orchestra. This is Bobby Bland at his most tender and comforting and his band at its most dramatic. This is a magnificent single, and make no mistake, this IS the Blues.
You know how it feels, you understand
What it is to be a stranger
In this unfriendly land
Here's my hand
Here is my hand
Take it, darling
And I'll follow you
Let me walk
I want to walk right by your side
Let your love be my only guide
Here's my hand
Here is my hand
Why don't you take it, darling
And just lead me on
Lead me on, lead me on
You know I'm a stranger
And I'm so all alone
Here's my hand
Here is my hand
Why don't you take it
And just lead me on
And I'll follow you
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF BOBBY "BLUE" BLAND. THIS SONG I USED TO PLAY FROM MY UNCLE LOUIS RECORDS. THIS IS FROM THE ALBUM "TWO STEPS FROM THE BLUES", EVERYTIME I HEAR IT ALL THE MEMORIES OF GROWING UP COMES BACK AND IT MAKES YOU THINK OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS LIFE HAS DONE FOR YOU. EXCELLENT SONG MR. BLAND.
Such a deeply beautiful melancholy. It should be at least 10 minutes longer than it is. I feel this way a lot but can't find a way to express or describe it. Thanks Bobby.
