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 »

(Instrumental and harmonica intro)

When my baby left me
My baby left me a mule to ride
When my baby left me
My baby left me a mule to ride
Now when the train left the station
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 baby
You know a brand new twenty dollar bill
Now if that don't bring her back
I'm sho' my shotgun will

(harmonica, piano & instrumental)

Now if I can't come in
Let me sit down in front of your do'
Now if I can't come in
Let me sit down in front of your do'
I'll leave so early in the mo'nin
Your real man would never know

(harmonica, piano & instrumental)

Lake Michigan ain't no river
Chicago ain't no hill town
Lake Michigan ain't no river
An Chicago ain't no hill in town
But if I feel this-a way tomorrow
I swear I'll be Memphis bound. 

(harmonica, piano & instrumental)
