Muddy Waters - Rollin' Stone Lyrics






Well, I wish I was a catfish,
Swimmin in a oh, deep, blue sea
I would have all you good lookin women,
Fishin, fishin after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Oh 'nough, oh 'nough, sure 'nough

I went to my baby's house,
And I sit down oh, on her steps.
She said, "Now, come on in now, Muddy
You know, my husband just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left"
Sure 'nough, oh well, oh well

Well, my mother told my father,
Just before hmmm, I was born,
"I got a boy child's comin,
He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin stone,
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone"
Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a

Well, I feel, yes I feel,
Feel that I could lay down oh, time ain't long
I'm gonna catch the first thing smokin,
Back, back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Sure 'nough back, sure 'nough back

    Listen to this carefully, and you will realise how much songs like this influenced the British rock bands that came later on.

    Without these guys, there would be no rock music as we know it today. You know it and the rock muscians obviously know it.

  9. j.... m....

    The number of people who didn't know the origin of the RS' name. Understandable though given today's mostly vapid knowledge of music.

  10. S.... J....

    Hendrix and the Stones were inspired by this guy. Voodoo Child (Slight Return)'s bend here is prominent in the main riff, while the Stones named themselves after this song.

  11. D.... B....

    sabes lo que me dijo oscar wilde un dia , "conocen el precio de todo y el valor de nada" jajaja jamas se me va olvidar eso en mi vida nunca jamas

  12. M.... d....

    It feels Iconic

  13. D.... B....

    es que para los que no saben las cuerdas del blues son distintas

  14. D.... B....

    cuando llegaron los disco de blues a el reino unido se volvieron locos como tocaban esas cuerdas

  15. D.... B....

    por este tema se llaman los rolling stones

    D.... B....

    Escribe bien

    D.... B....

  18. 1.... ....

    You have to admit the stones and others took the ball and ran with it so to speak. They weren’t sneaky about it they adored these guys and we remember them in large part today because of the love and admiration the Brit rockers had for them.

  19. D.... B....

    no me imagino cuantas bandas de rock inspiro el blues

  20. C.... L....

    marvelous .. sounds like pedal steel guitar a bit ..

  21. K.... P....

    This is a great song based on Skip James Catfish Blues, the greatest fingerpicked blues song

  22. D.... B....

    y pues obvio la influencia del blues marcada en el rock britanico el blues ayudo a crear muy buena musica sobre todo en inglaterra

  23. D.... B....

    la sensacion que cancion esta clase de albums en el reino unido fue demasiada apenas escucharon como tocaban estas cuerdas y los cambios que hicieron quedaron atonitos

    Oh enough, oh enough, sure enough
    I went to my baby's house
    And I sit down oh, on her steps
    She said, "Now, come on in now, Muddy
    You know, my husband just now left

Our grandkids will be banging out our stuff just like we play this. And looking back with the same misplaced melancholia, for a past that never existed.

    Le nom du groupe, inspiré par Muddy Waters: Rollin Stones
    Renaud

    R.... D....

    +Renaud-Jules Deschenes jimi hendrix, les rolling stones et bob dylan (entre autres) on tous ete influencé par ce virtuose.

    R.... D....

    Je suis une fromage

  53. E.... L....

    Now I know where the name The Rolling Stones come from

    E.... L....

    +Elena Lossio

    Brian Jones, blues lover and true founder of the Rolling Stones -- and the guy with the vision to get the Stones rolling -- also named the band.

    E.... L....

    In Keith Richards autobiography he tells it: They rang up to get a gig and the guy on the telephone asked what they were called. The call was costing money and they just saw a 'Best of Muddy Waters' Record lying on the ground. The first track was 'Rollin Stone'.

    E.... L....

    @bigman25plus25 Keith Richards still did not know who Muddy Waters was at the time. Jagger and Richards learned everything they knew about blues and rhythm and blues from Brian Jones and Brian Jones' vast record collection (that Jagger and Richards in some interview here on YouTube make fun of). Brian Jones was finding the gigs and he gave the club owner the name Rolling Stones. Keith Richards was still an apprentice at the time. If Keith Richards said "we" in his book, he's got his history wrong, and, as usual, not giving Brian Jones his rightful due. Stones were created by Brian Jones (he recruited Richards and Jagger) and it was his vision of what the band should be that made the Stones into the great band that they became.

  54. O.... ....

    You can definitely hear Jimi Hendrix's inspiration for Voodo Chile in this song, especially in the riff

    O.... ....

    @OsKarMike1306  its not Voodoo Chile,its Catfish Blues.

    O.... ....

    @OsKarMike1306 Maybe Lenny Kravitz got inspired for are you gona go my way :)

    O.... ....

    +OsKarMike1306 Catfish Blues error

    O.... ....

    @ anyone out there. Hendrix used a very similar riff on his 15 minute version.. But i can't remember who he copied.. Maybe B.B? HELP!!

  55. D.... B....

    muddy waters 1950 rolling stones 1960s

    D.... B....

  58. D.... S....

    So much emotion, gotta love the mud man

  59. A.... B....

    grande muddy waters

  60. S.... ....

    the last second of this song is more explicative deep and full than 1000 hours of justin bieber and other garbage's music

    S.... ....

    hahahaha  dam straight

    S.... ....

    How true Brother!

  61. s.... g....

    Rollin stones in muddy waters.

    ES MUY BUENA ROLA

  63. p.... ....

    Damn, so this is 1 guitar, huh?

  64. V.... S....

    Great song..

  65. R.... ....

    It is freezing cold, the winter of 1962.  The scene -  a dingy flat in Edith Walk, Chelsea, London. A young man called Brian Jones is telephoned by a night club agent and offered a spot for his fledgling blues band. He accepts, then he is asked what the band is called, have you got a name? He hasn't. He starts to panic. This is a golden opportunity for him and his starving flatmates. Desperately, he looks around for inspiration, spots a Muddy Waters LP on the floor and quickly stammers out a name from the featured tracks.  The song is 'Rollin' Stone'.  The rest is history...........

    R.... ....

    RodRollingStone
    seriously ?
    well good choice !

    R.... ....

    seriously , crazy story :D

    R.... ....

    That's the building of legends by a legend

  66. A.... C....

    I can hear mick emulating muddy in "prodigal son"

  67. M.... T....

    This song gas given his name to rolling stones. Thank you a lot muddy

  68. B.... N....

    Hendrix has a good version over this

  69. �.... �....

    Most of rock is based on Chuck Berry and this guy. Amazing! Especially knowing that he played this back in 1950!

    �.... �....

    +Николай Трегуэт It's kinda disappointing and ignorant when people say The Beatles created rock music- sure they helped popularise it but people are way too quick to forget these Blues/RnB artists who pioneered rock

    �.... �....

    Николай Трегуэт В ранних записях Мадди звучит хорошо, но с Джимми Роджерсом, Уолтером и Отисом Спэнном он звучит великолепно.

    �.... �....

    why no mention of Sister Rosetta Tharpe???

  70. M.... ....

    This moves my soul..even today with all our fancy music editing technology, we cant emulate the pure raw emotion in these old blues tracks..

    M.... ....

    Its no wonder really, technology carries no emotion.

    M.... ....

    @Guzman Perez You're saying this in a video of a man who is famous for taking acoustic music and electrifying it.

  71. M.... V....

    Thanks for uploading this song

  72. n.... ....

    Muddy did not die broke. He was doing well in his later years touring around. He wasn't crazy rich like the Stones, but he had a good life. His death made the national news. He was famous enough that you had to be an invited guest to go to the funeral. I know this as my father was one of his good friends. Much of the general public doesn't know him, but they know his music. It has often been used in commercials and movies in recent years.

  73. M.... A....

    Also known as Catfish Blues....

  74. B.... ....

    The rolling stones are billionaires and muddy waters died broke people barely know who he is. smh crazy how it goes

  75. j.... s....

    A week ago at the buddy guy concert he told us that the Rolling Stones are named after this song

  76. D.... D....

    Heard the humble pie version? Nice stuff.... Muddy was the master

  77. S.... N....

    This song just blows me away.
