Muddy Waters - Country Blues Lyrics
I get later on in the evenin' time, I feel like, like blowin' my horn
I woke up this mo'nin, find my, my little baby gone, hmm
Later on in the evenin', main man, I feel like, like blowin' my horn
Well I, woke up this mo'nin' baby, find my little baby gone
That's a misery feelin' child, I most, most ever had
Some folks tell me, man I did worry, the blues ain't bad
Well that's a misery ole feelin', honey now, well gal, I most ever had
Well, brooks run into the ocean, ocean run in, into the sea
If I don't find my baby somebody gonna, gonna bury me, um-hm
Brook run into the ocean, child, ocean run into the sea
Well, if I don't find my baby now, well gal, you gonna have to bury me
Yes, minutes seem like hours an hours seem like days
Minutes seem like hours child, an hours seem like days
Yes, seem like my woman now, well gal, she might stop her lowdown ways
Well now I'm, I'm leavin' this mo'nin' if I had-a, whoa ride the blind
I feel mistreated girl you know now, I don't mind dyin'
Leavin' this mo'nin, tell ya I had-a now ride the blind
Yeah, been mistreated baby now, baby an I don't mind dyin'

just with a vastly better and more intricate sense of rhythm
You can definitely hear Roberts influence in Muddy's vocal phrazing in this early recording
Wild slide tune muddy does the slide proud
Not only a great composer but also a great guitarist coupled with his awesome singing.
Like si vienes por megaglowen
hey maaaaan
Imhotep SORHO ain't no rap here, son, just tha blues
indeed...lol i usually listen rap music but since some weeks i discover blues and i really really like it
Whooooaaaaaaa maaaaaaaaan. If you stand in the sunlight, I can see your skeleton! Faaaar out duuuuude.
country as fuck
Striker Stick Delta Blues isn't country, Toby Keith is country. This is real, deep, Mississippi Delta Blues from back in the day
Beg to differ. Toby Keith is "modern country". Blues and similar artists like Jimmie Rodgers and Hobart Smith were the original country. That's why Delta Blues is often called "country blues", because it's one of the original foundations of country music
The emotion behind it
this is fantastic super this music,
Sounds like Rollin stone
Funny story this was actually recorded for music-scientific reasons to document the folk music of the south of the USA for the Library of Congress :)
lyric corrections:
line 1 "... later on in the evening CHILD, ..."
line 5 "... some folks say worry, WHOA blues ain't bad" sounds like whoa but is a contraction of "well old" with the "d" dropped at the end.
line 6 "That's the miserablest feelin'" said fast and slurred a bit.
line 7 "Some folks tell me, NOT TO worry, OLD blues ain't bad" said "not ta" as one word.
It'd be nice if the about section of this video could give some credit to not only this recording's amazing musician, but the equally amazing musicologist behind it, without whom this recording would simply not exist. Alan Lomax <3
"the equally amazing musicologist" Given the amount of nonsense he wrote and said, I don't think he was nearly as amazing as Muddy Waters' music was.
Ryan Thomas yeah, let's bring Trump into this because he has everything to do with Mississippi Delta Blues
Muddy is classic, love that rustic tone
Right. I actually did know that. He taught Morganfield too. But I don't know why Johnson and Waters took the verses from House. If he supposedly wrote them. Do you know what I'm sayin man?
if you read Lomax's book, Land Where the Blues Began, House explains that he taught Johnson.
this stuff confuses me. I think these are just verses thrown around black folk. Because in that case, Johnson was ripping off House. So I don't know who wrote what I think they're all just commonly shared verses.
He's basically ripping off Son House and Robert Johnson.
this man could really play harp!!
One of his best songs.
Thanks,coyOte,that makes it even more awesome. I appreciate the information very much. Just been teaching myself this slide technique lately,and have definitely picked up some tricks from Muddy! If you want to hear a great treatment of Can't Be Satisfied,type in Peter Kaukonen Can't Be Satisfied. It's an audience video and the sound's too faint,but turning it way up makes it audible,and what he does with it is brilliant. Peter's a great unsung guitar slinger imo.
They didn't get him in a studio to record this. It was recorded in his house on Stovall Plantation by the legendary Alan Lomax
He invented Chicago Blues !
Muddy talk's about: youtube.com/watch?v=C4hk0KaLSbo
Hey!! YouTuber!! Fix your shit!! For over a month now, it's been happening more and more that when people *share* YouTuber links, they go with no indication of what they are and no thumbnail. All they say is "Share yourself on YouTuber"
FIX IT!!!
The key of g I was told. Anyhow how awesome is this song.
This ain't old school, THIS IS THE BLUES...
Saying it's a cover is incorrect, "Walking Blues" was a standard by this time.
Just a note - the lyric in line one is 'feel like blowin my home',as in leavin home.
Robert Johnson says it in verse two of Walkin Blues : Well I - feel like blowin - my lonesome home.
bloozblasterX I think it’s ‘blowing my horn, blowing my lonesome horn’, etc. You hear Robert Lockwood Jr sing it in “Little Boy Blue”
This song popped up on my boss's i-pod in his truck... i had never really listened to the blues, i will never forget the moment i first heard this song. The guitar, muddy's voice, this song is truly the the blues.
Yeah this pre-Chicago sounds awesome
bon blues des annees 1941
old school
@jacksondemarre Man, that's a scary thought. That's like asking the Wright Brothers to stay in Ohio and keep building bikes.
This is a cover of Robert Johnson's "Walking Blues". (There's a slightly longer version of this recording where Muddy mentions this.)
Is this the original version of 'I Feel Like Going Home' ?
kind of in the sound of Robert J? Historical gem, great
@benjaminbenelux
google (country blues muddy waters lyrics)
Simply AWESOME
He should have kept playing country blues rather than chicago blues
Sorry to bother you anybody, but I'm french, and I was wondering if someone could post the lyrics on this one - that's like my favorite blues song, but I can't understand everything it says, and I can't find the lyrics on the web.
Enjoy the record everybody !
When Muddy recorded this in 1941 for Alan Lomax and the Library of Congress, he admitted that the song originated with Son House's "My Black Mama" (1930). Robert Johnson also drew from Son's tune when he recorded "Walkin' Blues" (1936). Both House and Johnson were big influences on Muddy and his music.
Lord amighty,Muddy's showin us how he and others learned from Robert Johnson,Charlie Patton,Johnny Temple,and maybe Lonnie Johnson too. Just pure Delta,played in open G,the " Spanish " tuning,as they called it down there. I recall hearin this on a radio blues show years ago,and it was a jaw-dropper cuz I never knew Muddy'd recorded as far back as '41,esp.like THIS! So glad someone got him into the studio to capture this priceless performance. And thank you BluesFan12 for posting! =bloozblasterX=
Thanks for posting!
