Sonny Boy Williamson II

Aleck "Sonny Boy Williamson" Miller (possibly December 5, 1912 – May 25, 1965) was an American blues harmonica player, singer and songwriter, from Mississippi. He is acknowledged as one of the most charismatic and influential blues musicians, with considerable prowess on the harmonica and highly creative songwriting skills. He recorded successfully in the 1950s and 1960s, and had a direct influence on later blues and rock performers. He should not be confused with another leading blues performer, John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, who died in 1948. more »

You ought a heard my grandmother
When she got my grandfather, told me
You ought a heard my grandmother
When she got my grandfather, told me
She said, 'Get away from me, man
I swear you've done gotten too, old'

Now, when my baby left me
You know she left me with mule to ride
Now when my baby left me
You know she left me with mule to ride
Now, when the train left the station
You know my mule laid down an' died

You know, I sent my baby
You know a brand new twenty dollar bill
You know, I sent my babe
You know a brand new twenty dollar bill 
Now if that don't bring her back
I'm doggone sure my shotgun will

Let me sit down in front of your do'
Now, I can't come in
Let me sit down in front of your do'

Um-hm, baby

Now, if you been startin' to leave
I swear, I'd just love to see you go.
