Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go, down to New Orleans
You know I love you so

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way'd out here, and let you walk alone

Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
I beg you all night long, baby, please don't go

You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
'bout to Rolling Forks, you treat me like a dog

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go, back the New Orleans
I beg you all night long

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way'd out here, and let you walk alone

You know your man down gone
You know your man down gone
You know your man down gone
To the country farm, with all the shackles on

a good rule about anything you want kids to like: dont make it part of the curriculum.

on this world, our black fellows have the copyright on a thing called music!

im an irish guy and i like irish music and blues,and i noticed a they share some common, the fact their both dying due to popular  mainstream music , we should revive music before it dies out..

@MrWaymore13 Muddy is playing his les paul with the white p-90 pick ups (before he switched to the telecaster) And his hair isn't piled high. So that puts this pic in the early days of chess. When he first started recording with his live band. I am pretty sure that means the only harp player he was using at the time (live or in the studio) was little walter. I think that also means it is several years before chuck signed to chess. Either way, I do love Muddy.

@curtistembeck Alot of my refrence books are ruined from an accident so I'm kinda lost.

[MrWaymore13]

@curtistembeck Yeh, Right? I'm second guessing myself now. I'm pretty sure I'm mistaken.

[curtistembeck]

@MrWaymore13 That's what i thought at first, but if that's Little Walter, then who is the harp player in the front? He looks more like Walter to me. The more I look at it the more it looks like chuck. And who is the guy in the back behind Otis?
