Wear Something Green

Mathis James "Jimmy" Reed (September 6, 1925 – August 29, 1976) was an American blues musician and songwriter, notable for bringing his distinctive style of blues to mainstream audiences. Reed was a major player in the field of electric blues, as opposed to the more acoustic-based sound of many of his contemporaries. His lazy, slack-jawed singing, piercing harmonica and hypnotic guitar patterns were one of the blues' most easily identifiable sounds in the 1950s and 1960s, and had a significant impact on many rock and roll artists who followed, such as Elvis Presley, Billy Gibbons and the Rolling Stones. more »

Come see me baby, make sure you wear somethin' green
I said, come see me baby, make sure you wear somethin' green
I thought yellow was pretty, but green the prettiest thing I seen

I said, wait a minute baby, honey, 'fore ya split the scene
Why don't ya, wait a minute baby, honey 'fore ya split the scene?

Well, look-a-here baby, ya know just what Jimmy means
I said, look-a-here baby, ya know just what I mean
I thought-a yellow was pretty, but green the prettiest thing I seen
