Jimmy Reed - Honest I Do Lyrics






Don't you know that I love you
Honest I do...
I've never placed
No one above you
Please tell me you love me...
Stop driving me mad
You the sweetest little one that I ever had

I told you I love you
Stop driving me mad
When I woke up this mornin'
I never felt so bad

  35. B.... A....

    Jimmy's moving love songs were unique for the blues. He never gets the credit as a song writer that he deserves. Also, most of his big hits did not use the standard formula for constructing a blues, but had an element of real originality in their composition.

    Bob Aldo yes Bob , he was the original. one of a kind.miss him so much. thks for comment Bob

  66. K.... W....

    I like this tune

  67. S.... F....

    Saw Jimmy twice in London in the 60's - first at Hammersmith then Fairfield Hall, Croydon. The Hammersmith gig was a knockout! That harp break on Honest I Do made my hair stand on end! Unfortunately he got to the bottle before the Fairfield Hall set & was too pissed to give a good account of himself. Still the memory of Hammersmith showed what a superlative bluesman he was. That lazy style that seems so simple & effortless yet is so hard to nail. Love Jimmy Reed!

    S.... F....

    How right you are Steve. You worded it just perfect. Oh Jimmy you were a heartthrob . HONEST I DO, GO JIMMY. Thanks for comment Steve

    S.... F....

    yup, who could dislike sheer perfection ?

    M.... ....

    people who don't know what good music is I guess .

    M.... ....

    That "thumbs down" button is proof that evil exist amongst us. People are not who you want them to be..

    M.... ....

    Someone cold dead inside, that's who.

  88. J.... G....

    Keep on hearing this from tiempos from way back its just that simple.....

  89. j.... r....

    me and dad used to Jimmy lot drunk time rip dad

  90. 1.... ....

    YouTube should get rid of that pesky thumbs down button. It'll only invite and encourage the wrong viewers who don't understand or possess the common sense to just simply move on without wrecking the moment for those who are enjoying this. They need to go elsewhere and find something a bit more credible to hate...

    1.... ....

    @1mespud, Yes, sometimes we have to ignore the ignorance and just love the music...Right?

    1.... ....

    Itimespud. I pay the haters no mind knowing , knowing they .hate out of jealousy, want attention and control. Have no life, no soul and no sense .and most of all a loving heart .they damn miserable , pay them know mind and you can quote me .thks for your comment1timespud.

    1.... ....

    1timespud. What ever you do , don't let them steal your joy . they not stopping or controlling nothing or nobody . enjoy the moment Do.enjoy life, I do
