Transcriber: [email protected] day, rainy day
Ya oughta hear my baby sing the blues
Rainy day, some rainy day
You oughta hear my baby sing the blues now
Now an she said she just walkin' around
Just to tell these strange people the newsNow what's the use of loving?
Peoples, said I don't see why I should
What's the use of love?
Peoples, said I don't see why I should now
Now, an you know this little woman that I'm lovin'

Lord, an she don't mean me no goodNow but that would be alright, now
My bad luck ain't going to last always
Now but that would be alright
My bad luck ain't going to last always
Now just because I'm down an out now
I'm gonna see some ol' lucky dayTake care of my wife an my baby
Tell 'em that I'll be back home someday now
Take care of my wife and my baby
Tell 'em I'll be back home someday now
Now tell 'er that she ain't actin' nothin' but a fool
Doggin' me 'round this wayLord, sometime I go out walkin'
People, go out walkin' to myself
Lord, sometime I go out walkin', now
Go out walkin', talkin' to myself, now
Now because my baby be's on my mind
An I don't be's thinkin' about nobody elseNow I'm-a just as sure
Just as sure as one an one is two now
Now am I just as sure
Just as sure as one an one is two now
Now, when I give you my money
Babe, I'm gon' be up 'n dead like you, now.~

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

There are two harmonica playing bluesmen known as Sonny Boy Williamson. They are colloquially referred to as Sonny Boy Williamson I and Sonny Boy Williamson II respectively, but are of no relation.
The two are easy to distinguish. Williamson I played the harmonica acoustically and was essentially a pre-War artist. Williamson II was entirely an electrified harpist, in the style of Little Walter, reflecting the advent of the jukebox and electrified instruments following World War II.
(Compare the albums Sonny Boy Williamson I ~~ Sonny Boy Williamson II)
