A native of Mississippi, Lee traveled around the United States before settling in New York in 1972. He is best known for his passionate performances of blues music in and around New York's subway stations for almost 30 years, before recording four albums on the Amogla Records label and touring in his later years. "Mean Blues" became one of his more popular numbers.

Mean blues feel this is the end for me

Mean blues feel this is the end for me

Cruel world pullin’ me donw

Is making it hard tomorrow to see

Three days I haven’t heard my girl

I know something’ is wrong

Three days I haven’t heard my girl

I know something’ is wrong

She left me for another

There’s a hole now where my heart belongs

There’s no use for me searching

I have to let her go

There’s no use for me searching

I have to let her go

There’s nothing for her to come back to

Mean blues got me sinking too low

Drowned my sorrows with a boittle

I’m gonna lose my mind

Drowned my sorrows with a boittle

I’m gonna lose my mind

Think and drink, drank the bottom of the East River

That’s where my heartache feels fine.
