Lord Lord I'm getting up in years

Lordy Lordy Lordy I'm getting up in years

But mama ain't too old to shift her gears

And I'm a big fat mama, got the meat shakin' on my bones

I'm a big fat mama, got the meat shakin' on my bones

And every time I shake, some skinny gal loses her home

[NotStuckJustResting]

Oh the magic of youtube. =)

Who wrote this blues? was it blind Joe Reynolds?

[Fiftiesflashback]

Just fantastic!

[tlex96]

what year was this?

[fearlissimo]

The first verse is in Blind Joe Reynolds 'Outside woman blues'. Verse borrowing was common among blues singers. Otherwise, they are different songs. Humble Pie's 'Four Day Creep' is a completely different song, and shares only one verse with Waters 'I want you to love me'. Why Pie credited it to Cox is a mystery.

Despite the caption on the film, this song should be titled ' 'fore Day Creep' , i.e. before day creep - creeping away from your lover's house before the sun came up.

Cream recorded this song (as "Outside Woman Blues") on Disraeli Gears.

[maida1982a]

appears that the original recording of this, in 1927, predates that of blind willie (or joe) reynolds, which was 1929 and called "outside woman blues". anybody know the real story?

[Dawtaajudah]

Teach, Ma...!

[SherRoyal]

What a great voice not too rough but strong.

[redtorso]

Rock Legends HUMBLE PIE did a fantastic cover of the IDA classic on the legendary Live "Rockin the Fillmore" Album .......

[Bottump]

The Humble Pie version is actually a completely different song both musically and lyrically. They just decided to credit Ida Cox and give it the same title. Not sure why really, great song though.

[redtorso]

Many thanks for this info ..... that I did ignore !!!!!! Rock On kiiiddddddd ...... richie

[NilezII]

The Pie's lyrics are mostly from a Muddy Waters song, "I Want You To Love Me". Why didn't they credit Morganfield?

[Sagison]

I love that album...God how I love it !!!

[treemonisha2006]

Ida Cox is an excellent singer and she is giving some good advice in this song!!!!

[ragtimist]

Jesse Crump is on the piano.

[KawhackitaRag]

Yes... and playing some terrific piano too! [though Ida is certainly no slouch... she's not a theatrical belter but an honest singer, a real straight-shooter, solid-sender.]

Jesse Crump made some excellent piano solo recordings which should be put on Youtube sometime!

[KawhackitaRag]

I should add that Jesse and Ida were married at one time, though I'm not sure they were still married when they made this movie short :P

He accompanies her on many of her recordings in the 1920's.
