Lynyrd Skynyrd - Blues Medley Lyrics






Got a sweet little angel mama
Lord and I love the way she spreads her wings
I got a sweet little angel mama
Lord and I love the way she spreads her wings
Spreads her wings Lord
All around my everything
Oh she makes me wanna get up and sing
I asked my ol' lady for a nickel ya'll
Lord ya know she gave me a 20 dollar bill
I asked my ol' lady for a nickel people
Lord ya know she give me a 20 dollar bill
And I asked her for a little shot of liquor
No she bought me a whiskey still
And I bought you a new Ford
Say you want a Cadillac
Bought ya a ten dollar dinner
You said thanks for the snack
I let you live in my penthouse
And you called it a shack
Gave you seven younguns
Now you wanna give 'em all back

Do you feel it baby
Awwwww
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d ya feel it
Ah yeah

Ah yeah
So don't come lookin' mama
Or ever hopin' to come back
Lord Have Mercy
So don't come lookin' mama
Or ever hopin', ever hopin', ever hopin' to come back
Cause it's all over, it's all over lady
Mama you can bet your sweet life on

  14. A.... A....

    You will never hear this on any classic rock station.

    A.... A....

    Forget the radio , quit listening to it long ago.

    A.... A....

    Fred Thompson same for me! I want to pick & choose what I listen to!! Getting too old to waste any of my time 💙🎸🎸🎤🎤♥️

  15. J.... R....

    If anyone knew the blues, it would be Allen

  16. M.... B....

    Best slow rock hell yeah

  17. T.... M....

    I have heard BB KING do this song live before

  18. M.... T....

    Lynyrd skynyrd kicks ass!!!!!!!

  19. d.... c....

    my 1st time hearing this ! idk how ive missed it but oh this sunday moanin ... the ORIGINAL Lynyrd Skynyrd rest in peace Ronnie

  20. R.... D....

    Perfekt lives for ever

  21. C.... P....

    Always loved Lynyrd Skynyrd, they were on the cutting edge of Blues-to-Southern-Rock...seen them 5 or 6 times while they were all still alive...just wish they had bluezed it out a lil more like this back in the day...

  22. R.... B....

    hell yes !

  23. J.... S....

    Wrote a song.. wanna hear it ?

  24. T.... S....

    Does anyone know who is playin that ending solo

    T.... S....

    Teddy Stanghellini
    That would be Allen Collins

    T.... S....

    Mr Allen Collins. One of the most underrated guitar players of all time, also one of the best

  25. T.... H....

    You done Real good ! Thank ya very much !

  26. r.... A....

    My eyes and ears are open wide ,didn't know the skynayrd did so many blues song's

  27. R.... W....

    Who in the hell is BB Lol RIP SKYNYRD

  28. D.... T....

    This is much better than their "hits"

  29. d.... ....

    Here's proof of why Allen's one of the best there ever was

    d.... ....

    without a doubt.....late 60s even

  30. c.... c....

    Smoooth

  31. J.... P....

    I could listen to ronnie sings 24hours at a time

  32. S.... H....

    Glad I'm not the only one with taste.

  33. a.... c....

    Wonderful! Does anyone could date this?

    a.... c....

    I am gonna give an educated guess that it's an outtake from Street Survivors. This 'blues medley' is a tribute of sorts to the same song(s) on Duane Allman Anthology, but I gotta tell ya, this one is better.

  34. D.... D....

    ~Envy of those british bands that wish it was their home country and culture they were born and raised in that got blues sound like this.~

    D.... D....

    @ Deplorable
    As Gregg Allman once said " There's no such thing as ' British blues "

    D.... D....

    I wish my old lady would get her ass back!!! and that's you sing the blues🏆🏆

    D.... D....

    I'm going back to the bottle and wight a new blues song

    D.... D....

    Deplorable Daven bullshit, it was on your doorstep but you never listened until Clapton, Green, Kossof, Moore and the Stones made you sit up and appreciate what you had. As Joe Walsh says we were listening to do wop and Pat Boon.

  35. D.... D....

    ~17 dumbasses offended by the flag nothing more.~

  36. d.... ....

    Tendividedbyten sweet little Angel mama

  37. M.... G....

    They could play the blues...the bitch is that if they had stuck only to blues they wouldn't have gone anywhere. I guess we have
    to be thankful for Southern Rock.

  38. B.... B....

    Omg this just frickin sizzles.

  39. A.... L....

    Damn Ronnie could sing them Blues,Such a Sexy voice.And the band right on key too,Love this sound.

  40. B.... S....

    Why the pics of BB King during the video I wonder?

    B.... S....

    Big Slay These are his songs

    B.... S....

    Big Rock - Yea, but I figured it would just be pics of skynryd.. Either way they did an amazing job on this song. Definitely my favorite lynryd skynryd song.

    B.... S....

    Its A B.B. Lyric from on of his songs..

  41. E.... P....

    Incredible guitar solo by Allen Collins !

    E.... P....

    God Bless You Allen Collins

  42. J.... C....

    Ya can't get much bluer than that...

  43. T.... L....

    that voice rings the blues! They rock this! wish they did more!

  44. d.... ....

    Found this in a library in my hometown on CD laser-disk. Don't come lookin', mama

  45. A.... M....

    & then some

    7.... ....

    Only he could comprehend this talent

  56. J.... T....

    please find me more of this 

  57. F.... L....

    OH MY GOD, Allen's Guitar Solo at the end is EARGASMIC. I have to get that fucking sexy ass tone on guitar

    F.... L....

    Josh Sheets - You should listen to "heartbreaker" by Led Zeppelin, it's the same solo, not sure who wrote it first but I think they were showing respect to the other one by copying it (that's how I see it anyway).

    F.... L....

    Big Slay that's false. There may be some similar licks, but it's definitely not the same solo as Heartbreaker.

    F.... L....

    Maxwell Wallace - Look it up and listen brother.

    F.... L....

    Not the same lol Zepp was before this anyway

    F.... L....

    paul heese - It's pretty much note for note, different key though. I'm not hating on Allen or Jimmy Page, they're my two favorite guitarist, I'm just pointing out that those two solos are almost identical.

  58. M.... ....

    i use to get hammered and listen to this...........god i love the ending solo

  59. k.... b....

    Thanks,Brother

    Forever Lynyrd Skynyrd, who cares about the views of a couple of losers.

  60. D.... t....

    hey this is BB KING CALEDONIA!!!   WT HELL, the line about the 7 children and giving them back

  61. c.... f....

    bad ass song love it

  62. M.... B....

    BB King---

    M.... B....

    why was he show this ain't even close to  him

    M.... B....

    this, by Skynyrd, covers songs by BB King, Jane Feather, Leonard Feather and Jules Taub which was released on their album, Thyrty

  63. W.... T....

    OMG!...WOW!

  64. W.... T....

    2 people are idiots

  65. B.... ....

    Kul !  Thank you frosty.

  66. a.... ....

    ... thank you so much for this , it is great . I appreciate the effort and the sharing , that is what music should be all about .

  67. T.... ....

    7:30 sounds like hearthbreaker by Led Zeppelin

    T.... ....

    TheAsterixe - It's the same solo. Not sure who wrote it, but it's still a great solo.

  68. p.... ....

    3:24 epic solo begins !

    p.... ....

    praneeth 10:12

  69. B.... ....

    I don't anything really happened to music in this country but something definitely happened to radio. There's still tons of great music being made out there, it didn't suddenly just go away.

  70. m.... ....

    Ya sure that ain't the Allman Bros, sounds like Gregg singing and Duane playing

    m.... ....

    mattgtr1 EXACTO !!!

    m.... ....

    Absolutely positive!

    m.... ....

    THE ALLMAN BROTHERS STARTED SOUTHERN ROCK BUT SKYNARD PERFECTED IT!!!😎😀😎😀😎

  71. f.... ....

    Damn does anyone know if there's any tabs of this song? I love it and I suck too much to play by ear. ;\

    f.... ....

    felixunderline93 - Look up the tab to "heartbreaker" by Led Zeppelin, it's the same solo.

  72. m.... ....

    07:05 BEST PART EVER OMFG *0*

  73. x.... ....

    @revolveracoustic thank you for uploading this. Initiative, like yours, is the reason YouTube is so well-stocked and reliable. Take care

  82. C.... R....

    dude thankyou for posting this had this tune

  83. c.... ....

    @revolveracoustic Revolver i bought the THYRTY cd today finally got it. I think you for posting it i never would have known about it otherwise, i dont know how that one slipped by me im such a fan of Ronnie and LS. Thanks again

  84. w.... ....

    @christopher8262 It is a medlly of the songs. Sweet little Angel by B B King and Jules Taub. How Blue can you Get by Jane Feather and I Got a Mind to Give Up Living (traditional arrangement) ie nobody knows who wrote that one)) recorded in 1970 by Skynyrd

  85. c.... ....

    @revolveracoustic Name of the cd is Thyrty? Whats your suggestion on how to find it, flea markets, yard sales, i did pick up original 77 release Street Survivors album plastic never broken pd. $35 for it. At a flea market. Love to own this one

  86. c.... ....

    Thanks man for this one, i have been listening to it almost everynight, well thats a lie listening everynight actually. Where did you find it, i had no luck whatsoever.

  87. A.... E....

    Thanks for sharing this-I just got done watching Jeff beck,B.B.King,Clapton,and Robert Cray playing Sweet Little Angel. These guys are excellent. Lol my wife just said"That's Skynyrd?"
    Great tune Great band! Thanks again for sharing.

  88. R.... ....

    @christopher8262 B.B. King

  89. C.... W....

    Who wrote these lyrics? I gotta know! And SOON! Thinking I head it b4 but don't know where or when. Just gotta know who wrote "spreads her wings all around my everything". That, of course would be Ronnie coz it's different from the above lyrics. Amazing!. Just AMAZING! Gotta LOVE IT!

    C.... W....

    Chris Weaver Look up the original medley from BB King Live at the Regal. Lynyrd Skynyrd was copying very early Allman Brothers when playing this. The first Duane Allman Anthology album opens with the BB King medley.

    C.... W....

    Chris Weaver https://youtu.be/IOWC3a0Vw7M

    C.... W....

    Chris Weaver its an old Mississippi delta song. They prob got it from almond bros tbey did it way earlier

    C.... W....

    SOMETHING TELLS ME THE LYNARD SKYENAYRD BAND KNOWS WHAT THE BLUES SOUNDS LIKE. I THINK EVERY CHILD SHOULD BE GIVEN A GUITAR AND TAUGHT HOW TO USE IT,AND THEY WOULD NEVER BE ALONE AND COULD MAKE A LIVING AND ENJOY LIFE.

  90. N.... ....

    love u for this been looking all over for this song !!!! favorited
