Rory Gallagher Bullfrog Blue with lyrics

Bullfrog Blue lyrics written by Rory Gallagher

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 laughing
Laughing just to keep from crying

My mother got em
My father got em
My sister got em
My brother got
I woke up this morning, my grandmother had them too
Don't you know about that, I got the Bullfrog blues
Bullfrog

Called up my doctor, was not feeling so well
Well I called up my doctor, was not feelin 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
And take my advice, it'll surly cure your ills

Head on down to New Orleans
The prettiest place you've eve seen
Head on down to the river bed
That's where the music never ends
OPen your ears, don't you feel good
Get yourself one helluva shot of rythm 'n' blues

Go on down to New Orleans
The greatest place you've ever been
Get on down to the river bed
Dig the music of the Cajun bands
Honky tonk piano, make you feel good
Open your ears to rythm '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 them Bullfrogs on your mind?
Well did you ever wake up
with that one woman on your mind?
You had to sit there laughin'
Laughin just to keep from cryin

Rory Gallagher (2 March 194814 June 1995) was an Irish blues/rock guitarist Born in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, Ireland, he grew up in Cork City in the south of the country. He is best known for his solo albums, and for his tenure in the band Taste during the late 60s. Rory Gallagher's albums sold in excess of 30 million copies worldwide.[1][2]
Gallagher's first bands were showbands which played the popular hits of the day. In 1965 he turned Impact into an R'n'B group which played gigs in Ireland and Spain. He formed Taste in 1966, but the line-up which gained fame was formed in 1967, featuring Gallagher on guitar and vocals, John Wilson on drums and Richard McCracken on bass. The group released the albums, Taste and On the Boards, and made two live recordings, Live at Montreux and Live at the Isle of Wight. The latter appeared long after the band's break-up, which occurred shortly after their appearance at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival.[3]

After the break-up of Taste, Gallagher toured under his own name, hiring bass player Gerry McAvoy to play on his first eponymous album (a relationship that would last twenty years on the road) and Wilgar Campbell on drums.

The 1970s were Gallagher's most prolific period. He produced ten albums in that decade, including two live albums, Live in Europe and Irish Tour '74, which for many best captured his bands' raw and naturally dynamic qualities.[citation needed]. In 1972 he released the album Deuce, which is essentially three-piece R&B. Also in 1972 he was voted Melody Maker's Top Musician of the Year, dethroning Eric Clapton.[4] His album Live in Europe has been a big selling album not only in Ireland but also internationally.

Gallagher played and recorded what he said was "in me all the time, and not just something I turn on ...". Though he sold over thirty million albums world wide, it was his marathon live performances that won him greatest acclaim.[3] His passion and skill for the blues is documented in the 1974 film Irish Tour '74, directed by Tony Palmer.

The line-up including Rod De'Ath on drums and Lou Martin on keyboards stayed together between 1973 and 1978. Other release highlights from that period include Against the Grain, the jazz-tinged Calling Card album (assisted in production by Roger Glover (bassist with Deep Purple) and the hard blues-rocking Photo Finish and Top Priority albums.

A dedicated follower of blues music, Gallagher played with many of the genre's biggest stars, collaborating with Muddy Waters and Jerry Lee Lewis on their respective London Sessions in the mid 70s. Gallagher was also invited to tryout with The Rolling Stones following the resignation of Mick Taylor and with Canned Heat after the departure of "The Eagle". He was David Coverdale's second choice (after Jeff Beck) to replace Richie Blackmore in Deep Purple.

In the 1980s he continued recording, albeit at a slower pace, producing Jinx, Defender, and Fresh Evidence. These albums progressed towards a more mature blues style. After Fresh Evidence, he embarked on a successful tour of the United States.Rory Gallagher
