I'm working on learning this, but as an instrumental. Being a white northerner, I can't relate well to the lyrics. Can't wail and hit the high notes in Willie Mae, either! Stephan Grossman plays Willie Mae just slightly different in his instructional, and each song has parts not in the other, So I'm trying to combine pieces from both to form a complete instrumental. Big Bill's the greatest, I hope wherever he is, he knows his music and memory are alive and well over 50 years after his death!
@dirtypill1 Big Bill use the same tune almost in all his songs.Check up for willie mae commented by Stefan Grossman in his his BBC country blues guitar programm 1970s.Thanks

cool song. I think its the same tune as "Willie Mae Blues" on his Trouble in Mind cd. Might be easier to find.
