Jimmy Reed

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 »

Don't light my fire, baby, if you don't want to put out my flame
Don't light my fire, baby, if you ain't gon' put out my flame
I can't stand to be disappointed honey, honey, why's you playin' these funny game?

If you light my fire, baby, pull down the windows and lock the door
If you're gonna light my fire, baby, pull down the window and lock all the door
Put your white rug on the floor, honey, turn the juke box way down low

Is you gonna light my fire, baby? I want to hear your heart beat when you call my name
Is you gonna light my fire, baby? Honey, I want to hear your heart beat when you call my name
'Cause I'm gonna put the whammy on you girl, honey, when you try to put out Jimmy's flame
