They Say I'm Different - Betty Davis

They say I’m different 'cause I’m a piece of sugar cane

Sweet to the core, that’s why I got rhythm

My great grandma didn’t like the foxtrot

Nah, instead she’d spit her snuff and boogie to Elmore James

They say I’m different 'cause I eat chitlins

I can’t help it I was born and raised on’em, that’s right

Every mornin' I’d have to slop the hogs

And they’d be gettin' off humpin' to John Lee Hooker

They say I’m different 'cause I’m a piece of sugar cane

And when I kick my legs, I got rhythm

My great grandpa was a blues lover

He’d be rockin' his moonshine to B.B. King and Jimmy Reed

Rock on now

And that’s why they say I’m different

And that’s why they say I’m strange

I’m talkin bout Big Momma Thornton

Lightning Hopkins

Howling Wolf

Albert King

Chuck Berry

Chuck Berry

When I was sweet sixteen

And that’s why they say I’m different

And that’s why you think I’m strange

I’m talkin' bout T-Bone Walker

Leadbelly

Sonny Terry

Brownie Mcghee

Son House and Freddie King

Bessie Smith

Oh, Hey

Bo Diddley, have you heard?

That’s why they say I’m different

That’s why they say I’m strange

That’s why they say I’m funky

Little Richard

Wow, you sure showed 'em you sure could sing

Alright, alright

Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson

He played the blues for me

That’s why

And that’s why

And that’s why they say I’m different

That’s why

And that’s why

And that’s why they say I’m strange

That’s why

And that’s why

And that’s why they say I’m funky
