Marry You

B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. King

It's the sugar so sweet

The kind I like to eat

You and me

Tell no one else about it

I'm gonna make you mine

Cause I know we've got the time

Now and then baby

Hey I want you to know

I wanna marry you

Isn't that what you want too

I wanna marry you

Isn't that what you want too

Come on in the back of my '57

Let me show you the way

Way to heaven

You're looking so sweet, yes you are

I'll make sure that you got some heat

I've got you on my mind

You know you've got my time

Now and then baby

I want you to know

I wanna marry you

Isn't that what you want too

I wanna marry you

Isn't that what you want too

I'm falling in love with you

I'm in love with you

You make all my dreams come true

Make all my dreams come true

Falling in love with you

I wanna marry you

I wanna marry you

Isn't that what you want too

I wanna marry you

Isn't that what you want too

Marry You - B.B. King

B.B. King's 'Marry You' stands as a poignant testament to the bluesman's mastery of emotional storytelling through the electric guitar. Recorded in the classic Chicago blues tradition, the track exemplifies King's signature approach: blending raw, soulful vocals with intricate, melodic soloing that drives the narrative forward. The song captures the universal themes of longing and the complexities of romantic commitment, delivered with the warmth and authority characteristic of his mid-career recordings. As a staple of the blues repertoire, 'Marry You' remains a powerful example of how King transformed the acoustic roots of the genre into a vehicle for profound personal expression, influencing generations of musicians who followed.
