John Denver - Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me (1973) video free download

In this video, John Denver was singing the blues classic "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me". It was recorded and broadcast in 1973 for a BBC TV special series and is the only video footage of John singing this song. By the way, John plays a weird instrument in the middle of this video. It sounds like a kazoo, but looks like a mini suona (Chinese trumpet).

Now there are blues that you get from happiness

There are blues that you get from pain

There're blues when you are lonely for your one and only

Blues that are hard to explain

And there are blues that you get from waitin'

But the meanest, the meanest blues that be

They're kind that I got on my mind

Blues there are all very meanest kind

Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me

Oh, yeah

Oh, they're blues you get from women when you see 'em goin' swimmin' and you haven't got a bathin' suit yourself

There are blues that start to flicker when you had a lot of liquor and someone goes and takes it off the shelf

There are blues you get from waitin' on the dock, and you wonderin' if your little boat is gonna rock

Blues you keep a gettin' in a taxicab a pettin' every time you hear the meter jump the clock

And there are blues you get from cryin' when your uncle Will is dyin' and he afterwards forgets you in his will

There are blues you get from kisses when you are walkin' with the missus and another baby shouts, "Hey, Bill!"

Blues that kinda make you hop and really shake and shiver, kinda make you want to end it all in the river

Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me

Oh, play that thing!

Now there are blues you get from women when you see 'em goin' swimmin' and you haven't got a bathin' suit your own self

There are blues that start to flicker when you had a lot of liquor and someone goes and takes it off the shelf

There are blues you get from waitin' on the dock, and you wonderin' if the boat's gonna rock

Blues you keep a gettin' in a taxicab a pettin' every time you hear the meter jump the clock

And there are blues you get from cryin' when your uncle Will is dyin' and he afterwards forgets you in his will

There are blues that get from kisses when you are walkin' with the missus and another baby shouts, "Hey, Bill!!"

Blues that kinda make you hop and really shake and shiver, kinda make you want to end it all in the river

Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me

Let me hear it again

Oh, blues my naughty sweetie gives to me

Just one more time!

Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me

Yeah!
