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 »

They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday is as just as bad
Yeah, they call it stormy Monday but Tuesday, Tuesday is as just as bad
You know Wednesday is worst, and Thursday, oh so sad

The eagle flies on Friday and Saturday I'll go out to play
Oh, the eagle flies on Friday and Saturday I'll go out to play
The seventh day I'll rest and I'll kneel down to pray

I'll call, "Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me"
Well, I'll call, "Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me"
Well, you know I'm trying to find my baby
Won't you please send her back to me

The eagle flies on Friday and Saturday I'll go out to play
Woah, the eagle flies on Friday and Saturday I'll go out to play
Sunday I'll go to church and I'll kneel down to pray

I'll call, "Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me"
Well, I'll call, "Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me"
Yeah, you know I'm trying to find my baby
Won't you please send her back to me
