Big Bill Broonzy

Big Bill Broonzy (June 26, 1903 – August 15, 1958) was a prolific American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s when he played country blues to mostly black audiences. Through the ‘30s and ‘40s he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working class Black audiences. In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star. His long and varied career marks him as one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century. more »

I've got a merry go round, little girl don't you want to ride?
I've got a merry go round, now little girl, now don't you want to ride?
Now don't be scared woman, oh Lord Big Bill is by your side

Ain't you tired of see-sawing? Baby jump on my merry go round
Ain't you tired of see-sawing? Baby jump on my merry go round
Now you ride with me one time
Ooh Lord and I declare you'll say you're heaven bound

(Play it, boy!)
Catch a good hold with your hand, baby, set your feet just right
Catch a good hold with your hand, darling, set your feet just right
I'm gonna give you a good ride baby, ooh Lord I'm gonna try to dog my mind

You want to ride easy, baby jump on my merry go round
You want to ride easy, now jump on my merry go round
Lord I declare it's made out of hickory wood woman
Ooh Lord you sure can't break her down
