The Greatest Blues Singer in the World Will Never Stop Singing.

It's a long old road, but I know I'm gonna find the end.

I don't want no drummer. I set the tempo.

No time to marry, no time to settle down; I'm a young woman, and I ain't done runnin' around.

I ain't good-lookin', but I'm somebody's angel child.

Listen to my story and everything will come out true

There's nineteen men livin' in my neighborhood, Eighteen of them are fools and the one ain't no doggone good.

I need a little sugar in my bowl and a little hot dog in my roll.

When my bed is empty, Makes me feel awful mean and blue. My springs are getting rusty, Living single like I do.

It's a long old road but I know I'm gonna find the end.

I am a dead man alive.

Nobody is bored when he is trying to make something that is beautiful, or to discover something that is true.

Have you noticed that all you need to grow healthy, vigorous grass is a crack in your sidewalk? Having a baby is like taking your lower lip and forcing it over your head.

Children don't need learning. They need access to what they want to learn outside the home.

I've got to get on myself to be sharp, funny and loose.

A sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth.

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. It took seven languages to make me; it would be nice if I could have spoken just one.
