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 know my mama bought a washbo'd
An a brand new tub
My daddy had one old dirty shirt
An they began to rub

They come just to rubbin'
A-come just to rubbin'
A-come just to rubbin'
They just a-kept on a-rubbin' on the same old thing

Come just to rubbin'
Come just to rubbin'
A-come just to rubbin'
They just a-kept on rubbin' on the same old thing

Well now look-a-here, Big Bill
Don't you be tryin-a play me cheap 
If you ain't gonna rub
Son, you got-ta move next week!

You better start to rubbin'
Better come to the rubbin'
A-come just to rubbin'
You just a-keep on rubbin' on the same old thing

(harmonica & Instrumental)

You know I met a little girl
She was all trimmed out in blue
She saw me rubbin'
She started to rubbin', too

An when she come, just to rubbin'
Come just to rubbin'
A-come just to rubbin'
We just a-kept on a-rubbin' on the same old thing

Come just to rubbin'
A-come just to rubbin', now
Come just to rubbin'
We just a-kept on a-rubbin' on the same old thing.

(harmonica & instrumental to end)
