Rory Gallagher - Bullfrog Blues Lyrics






Well, did you ever,
Well, did you ever,
Well, did you ever,

Well, did you ever wake up,
With them bullfrogs on your mind?
Well, did you ever wake up,
With them bullfrogs on your mind?
You had to sit there laughin',
Laughin' just to keep from crying.

Well, did you ever wake up,
With that one woman on your mind,
Well, did you ever wake up,
With that one woman on your mind,
Sit there laughin',
Laughin' just to keep from crying.

My mother got em,
My father got em,
My sister got em,
My brother got em.

I woke up this morning,
My grandmother had them too,
Well, don't you know about that,
I got the bullfrog blues.
Bullfrog

My mother got em,
My father got em,
My sister got em,
My brother got em.

I woke up this morning,
My grandmother had them too,
Well, don't you know about that,
I got the bullfrog blues.

Called up my doctor,
Was not feeling so well,
Well, I called up the doctor,
Was not feeling so well.
He looked inside his bag and said,
"Well, well"....

You don't need no doctor,
You don't need no pill,
You don't need no doctor,
You don't need no pill.

Just take my advice,
It'll surely cure your ills.

Head on down to New Orleans,
Prettiest place you ever seen,
Get on down to the river bend,
That's where the music never ends.

Open your ears,
Don't you feel good?
Get yourself one helluva shot of rhythm 'n' blues.

Go on down to new Orleans,
The greatest place you ever been,
Head on down to the river bend,
Dig the music of the Cajun bands,
Honky-tonk piano,
Make you feel good,
Open your ears,
To rhythm 'n' blues.

Well, did you ever wake up,
With them bullfrogs on your mind?
Well, did you ever wake up,
With them bullfrogs on your mind?

You had to sit there laughin',
Laughin' just to keep from crying.

Well, did you ever wake up,
With that one woman on your mind,
Well, did you ever wake up,
With that one woman on your mind,

You had to sit there laughing,
Laughing just to keep from crying.

  2. m.... ....

    LOVE LOVE LOVE ET MERCI

  3. S.... S....

    When I was younger my best friend took up guitar. His name is Norman Richards. Great blues guitarist to this day. He looked like Rory when younger. Such a shame Rory isn't here anymore, but Norm still is.

  4. S.... S....

    Very good talent for sure. After hearing this I know where George Thorogood got his sound from.

  5. A.... R....

    Best guitarist in the world.

    I was lucky enough to see him live twice, he brightened up the misery of living through the troubles. Pure class all of them.

  10. L.... H....

    Bullfrog Blues was that one song that Rory could just go nuts, beat the crap out of it, have fun, and give the band a chance to solo. Letting off steam!

  11. j.... m....

    Did Rory just give away his slide at 07:33 to a fan in the front row ? and do they still have it today?

  12. A.... R....

  22. L.... D....

    Got to see him after Vietnam. Back in 75...when I was negative then years old.

  23. L.... C....

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................

  24. j.... m....

    Woops I, bit of a 🎸 guitar malfunction at the start there, but like a pro he made a good recovery, that'll teach him to stick to his faithful battered old strat in future, R. I. P. Rory and God love you.

  25. K.... B....

    Lucky to have seen him many times. a genuine real nice guy in person. he had a joy and a way to connect with his fans.UNBELIVEABLE guitar player. RORY FOREVER

  26. D.... D....

    What a guy 🇮🇪💚

  27. s.... m....

    rory plays the blues like he was born in the mississippi delta....via cork city #ireland 2019

  28. D.... ....

    'So how does it feel to be the world's greatest guitar player Mr Hendrix?'

    D.... ....

    Hendrix said that about Phil keaggy. The quote is bullshit.

  29. r.... ....

    Brilliantly demented.

    Shit Hot . Brilliant . Thanks for posting

  31. A.... R....

  34. f.... ....

    R.I.P Ted McKenna

  35. J.... B....

    RIP ted

  36. a.... ....

    Never seen a white man play the blues like this.....sorry Clapton, sorry Peter Green...

  37. G.... D....

    That man was adored. Damn.

  38. S.... M....

    Für mich war und bleibt er die Nummer 1 auf Fender.

  39. A.... R....

    I woke up with Rory on my mind went to sleep with Rory on my mind R,I,P,Margo

  40. L.... K....

    Hendrix was apparently once asked "what's it like to be the greatest guitarist in the world?".......he replied "I wouldn't know, try asking Rory Gallagher"......if it ain't true it ought to be.......

    L.... K....

    That's bullshit. He said that about Phil keaggy. While I think Rory was a far better guitarist than Phil keaggy he was unheard of in hendrix's time.

  41. G.... H....

    Best live performances ever!

  42. S.... D....

    ((😊))

  43. D.... R....

    Gerry is awesome. Gerry & Rory were like 2 peas in a pod. They got each other & jammed like they were twins. AWESOME COMBO !!!! Rory & Gerry didn't fuck around.

  44. M.... ....

    Such a talent such a loss. Amazing guitarist.

  45. J.... B....

    The man gives off enough energy to wake the dead! If this song doesn't get your blood flowing then you're already dead! Keep listening..........it will work every time. The world is a better place with Rory Gallagher playing the blues!

  46. C.... D....

    The guy was amazing!

  47. 3.... ....

    he is just a genius

  48. P.... M....

  72. J.... S....

    I have seen him every year from 79 til 93. There is no one like Rory Gallagher.

    J.... S....

    He's a real doll baby in truth! Never saw him live but very happy to have these performances to see....like front row center and I can imagine if I'd been there I would have lost a lot of reserve ha ha....he loved his music, he loved his fans.

  73. K.... ....

  74. L.... M....

    Irish boys helping world to listen real music!!!!Never forget the great concert at New Philadelphia stadium.(1981)

    I met Rory once, he was accepting the Jacobs awards for music in the national stadium, for just a moment he was alone and I shook his hand carefully and told him how much I enjoyed his music,( I had been to four of his concerts), he said thanks....what a humble guy, what a genius his fans were everything to him, hope to meet up with him again someday....R.I.P...rory.

    j.... w....

    j whitehead I'm betting he noticed your carefulness in shaking his hand....he didn't miss much as far as I have gathered and sensitive. Very special guy as far as I have researched watching too many interviews reading too many articles and of course taking advantage of YouTube like a crazy person. I envy your encounter!
