Sweet Home Chicago
Rober Johnson
C'mon
Baby don't you want to go?
C'mon
Baby don't you want to go?
Back to that same old place
My sweet home, Chicago
(repeat)
one and one is two
Six and two is eight
Come on baby don't you
Make me late
C'mon!
Baby don't you wanna go
Back to that same old place
My sweet home Chicago
Six and three is nine
Nine and nine is eighteen
Look over there brother won't you
See what I seen
Hidie Hey!
Baby don't you wanna go
Back to that same old place
My sweet home Chicago
(Repeat)

Mustang Sally
Mustang Sally
Girl you better slow that mustang down
Mustang Sally now baby
Girl you better slow that mustang down
You been running all over town
Gonna have to put your flat feet on the ground.
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
One of these early mornings
I'm gonna be wiping those weeping eyes
I bought you a brand new mustang
It was 1965
Now you roll all over town
signifying woman
But you won't let me ride
Mustang Sally now baby
Girl you better slow that mustang down
You been running all over town
Gonna have to put your flat feet on the ground
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
One of these early mornings
I'm gonna be wiping those weeping eyes
Those weeping eyes!

You're welcome. Not that I consider "Mustang Sally" or "Love me or
leave me" blues songs! But never mind, here are a couple of classic
blues, courtesy of Jeannie & Jimmy Cheatham and the Sweet Baby Blues
Band (you will notice that Jeannie is the singer):
GOIN' DOWN SLOW (Jimmy Oden)
- Jeannie & Jimmy Cheatham
Well I done had my fun, if I don't get well no more
Yes I done had my fun, had my fun, if I don't get well no more
Well I been livin', lovin' and lyin', and now I'm goin' down slow
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her not to worry, just forgive me for my sin
(forgive me, forgive me, forgive me)
On the next train South, look for my clothes on
On the next train South people, look for my clothes on
And if you do not see my body, please don't weep and moan
Don't cry mother, oh this is my prayer
Don't cry mother, mother, oh this is my prayer
Just say your daughter is in another world somewhere
TROUBLE IN MIND
(Richard M. Jones)
- Jeannie & Jimmy Cheatham
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
Cause the sun gonna shine
Lord in my back door someday
Well my man he done left me
Lord I almost lost my mind
Sometimes I feel like laughing
Sometimes I feel like crying
I'm goin' down by the river
Gonna take my rocking chair
If that man don't do right
Lord I'm gonna rock away from here
I'm goin' down by the railroad
Lord that lonesome railroad line
And if that man don't do right
Ease my worried mind
By way of contrast, here's another version of "Going Down Slow", as
recorded by Howlin' Wolf - it's virtually a totally new song:
GOIN' DOWN SLOW (James B. Oden)
- Howlin' Wolf, recorded 1961
(spoken:)
Man...
You know I've been enjoyin' things that kings and queens will never
have!
In fact kings and queens can *never* get 'm.
And they don't even know about it!
And good times? Mmmmmmmmm-mmh!!
(sung:)
I have had my fun, if I never get well no more (x 2)
Oh my health is fadin' on me, oh yes I'm goin' down slow
(spoken:)
Now looka here...
I did not say I was a millionaire...
But I said I have *spent* more money than a millionaire!
Cause if I had kept all my money that I'd already spent,
I would've been a millionaire a looong time ago...
And women? Great Googlie-Mooglie!!
(sung:)
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in (x 2)
Tell her to pray for me, forgive me for my sin
----
PS If anybody has an idea what a great Googlie-Mooglie is, or how you
can tell if you meet one, please let me know...
