Six Silver Strings - B.B. King

Six silver strings, baby

Are all tied to me

I’m not the man, darling

That I’m supposed to be

I can’t see you when I want you, baby

I have to see you when I can

Six silver strings

That are holding me

Six silver strings

Just will not set me free

I still can’t see you when I want you, baby

See you when I want you, darling

I have to see you when I can

I’m calling on you, baby

Have a little mercy on me

Baby, please have a little pity on me

Hold your string

And I’ll do anything for you, baby

Six silver strings

Make me your perfect man

I still can’t see you when I want you, baby

See you when I want you, darling

I have to see you when I can

Hold your string

And I’ll do anything for you, baby

Six silver strings

Make me your perfect man

And I still can’t see you when I want you, baby

See you when I want you, darling

I have to see you when I can

(Six silver strings)

Baby, that’s all I have

(Six silver strings)

Baby, are holding me

(Six silver strings)
