I Be's Troubled
by McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters

I Be's Troubled
Well if I feel tomorrow, like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my suitcase, and make my getaway
Lord I'm troubled, I'm all worried in mind
And I'm never bein' satisfied,
and I just can't keep from cryin'
Yeah, I know my little ol' baby, she
gonna jump and shout
That ol' train be late girl, and I come walkin' out
Lord I'm troubled, I'm all worried in mind
Yeah and I'm never bein' satisfied, and I
just can't keep from cryin'
Yeah, I know somebody, who' been talkin' to you
I don't need no telling, girl, I can
watch the way you do
And I be troubled, I be all worried in mind
Yeah and I'm never bein' satisfied, and I just can't keep from cryin'
Yeah, now goodbye baby
Got no more to say
Just like I been tellin' you, girl, you're
gonna have to leave my way
Lord I'm troubled, I'm all worried in mind
Yeah and I'm never bein' satisfied,
and I just can't keep from cryin'
Yeah my baby she quit me,
seem like mama was dead
I got real worried gal, and she drove it to my head
I be's troubled, I be all worried in mind
Yeah and I'm never bein' satisfied, and I just can't keep from cryin'

I Want To Be Loved
by McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters

The spark in your eye sets my, soul on fire,
your voice is like a, angel above
The touch of your hand woman, drives me insane,
but baby, I want's to be loved
I'm crazy 'bout every little, thing you do,
I even, cherish your hug
Your kisses so sweet honey they, can't be beat,
but baby I want's to be loved
Every time I ask ya, for a date,
you don't come at all or your, oh so late
I ask you to dance a, little spin,
you said wait a minute daddy, here come my friend
I love the way you walk when you, pass me by,
even when you, tryin' to snub
The touch of your hand honey, drives me insane,
but baby I want's to be loved

Long Distance Call
by McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters

You say you love me darlin',
please, call me on the phone sometime
You say you love me darlin',
please, call me on the phone sometime
When I hear your voice,
ease my worried mind
One of these days,
I'm gonna show you how nice a man can be
One of these days,
I'm gonna show you just how nice a man can be
I'm gonna buy you a brand, new Cadillac,
if you only speak some good words about me
Hear my phone ringin',
sound like a long distance call
Hear my phone keep ringin',
sound like a long distance call
When I picked up my receiver,
the party said another mule kickin' in your stall

Rock Me
by McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters

Want you to rock me baby, rock me all night long
Want you to rock me baby, rock me all night long
Well I want you to rock me baby, like my back ain't got no bones
Sun goin' down, the moon begin to rise
Sun goin' down, the moon begin to rise
Well I want you to rock me baby, till you make me satisfied
See me comin', run get your rockin' chair
See me comin', run get your rockin' chair
Well you know I ain't no stranger, you know I used to live right here
Want you to roll me, like I roll a wagon wheel
Want you to roll me, like I roll a wagon wheel
You know I want you to roll me over, you know how good that makes me feel
Rock me easy, rock your baby slow
Rock me easy, rock your baby slow
Well you know I want you to rock me so easy, till I don't wanna rock no more
Put your arms around me, like a circle around the sun
Put your arms around me, like a circle around the sun
I want you to call, call me daddy, let me lay down in your arms

Rollin' Stone
by McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters

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

She's Nineteen Years Old
by McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters

I'm gonna say somethin' to you
I don't care how you feel
You just don't realize
You got yourself a good deal
She's nineteen years old
And got ways just like a baby child
Nothin' I can do to please her
To make this young woman feel satisfied
I'm gonna say this to you
I don't care if you get mad
You about the prettiest little girl
That I ever had
She's nineteen years old
And got ways just like a baby child
Nothin' I can do to please her
To make this young woman feel satisfied
(What kind of woman is that?)
Can't ask her where she's going
She tells me where she's been
She starts a conversation
That don't have no end
She's nineteen years old
And got ways just like a baby child
Nothin' I can do to please her
Whoah, yeah!
Whoah, yeah!
Whoah, yeah!
To make this young woman feel satisfied
