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 »

Oh baby, you don't know how I
I miss you so
Come on back home
An I won't be mean no more

Because I love you
Yes, I love you for myself
Yes, an I'm just hopin', baby
That you haven't fell in love
Wit' nobody else

You don't know how much I miss you, baby
A-since a-you been gone
Please stop yo' foolin' babe
An' bring yo' clothes back home

Because I need you
Yes, an I love you for myself, now
Yes, an' I'm just hopin' baby
That you haven't fell in love with nobody else

(harmonica, guitar & instrumental)

You told me last night, baby
A-then a you was through
An you didn't want me baby
To keep on worryin' you

But I still love you
Yes, an I love you for myself 
Yes, an I'm just hopin', baby 
That you haven't fell in love wit' nobody else

Now, an I'm goin' overseas, baby
An I won't be back
I'm goin' where the women's naturally
They solid, Jack

'Cause I'm gonna leave you
Because you don't mean me no good
I don't need no tellin'
I found it out in yo' neighborhood.
