Lonnie Johnson

Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

Mmm, mmm, hmm hmm, hmm, mmm, hmm, mmm, mmm, mmmmmm.

Oh, ho, ho, in the mornin', same ol' thing again.

Mmm, someday, someday, baby, and it won't be long.
Yes, someday, baby, baby, and it won't be long.
You can mistreat me while I'm with you, but you can't do it when I'm gone.

Yes, I ain't gonna cry, and I ain't gonna beg you to come back home.
Yes, I ain't gonna cry, ain't gonna beg you to come back home.
Yes, you don't miss me now baby, but you cry for me when I'm gone.

Yes, you left home ‘leven o'clock this mornin', come back home at half pass five.
Yes, you left at ‘leven this mornin', come back home at half pass five.
And you say you just been ‘round the corner, baby, I just can't understand that lie.

Hmm, mmm, mmm mmm, hmm, mmm, hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Hmm, hmm, hmm hmm, hmm, hmm, mmm, same ol' thing again.
Nothin' but the worried blues, bearin' down on me like drops of rain.
