[Intro]

This is a song that was on our second album. That's always meant a lot to us, and we still enjoy playing very much. And uh, we'd like to do it now it's uh, and we'd like to dedicate it to the author, The great Muddy Waters


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 1]

My mother

Told my father

It was just before I

I was born

You gotta boy child comin'

Sure he is gonna be

I know he's going to be

He's going to be

He's going to be a rollin' stone


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 2]

I went to

My baby's house

And I fell down

I fell down, baby

Right on your step

She said, "Come in Danny"

"Don't you know my other man?"

"Yes my, other man."

"Well my other man, my husband, my husband, my husband, my husband just left."


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

You know I've been crazy

I've been low

You know, I even been a fool too you know that, baby

I been crazy, yeah

All of my life

I done fell in love with some other man's wife

With some other man's wife

I done fell in love

I fell in love


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 4]

My little woman

She's so

She's so long and tall too

And she moves, she moves just like

A willow tree

She is the one I'm lovin'

She is the very one I do

She is the very one I do

I do, I do hate to lose

Oh baby, hate to lose you

I hate to lose you baby


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 5]

There are two

Two trains runnin'

And didn't you know that Muddy Waters

And they're never going my way

One runs at midnight, midnight

The other one at the break of day

The other one at the break of day

The day

Oh, oh, oh


[Outro]

Thank you, thank you

Danny Kalb!

Andy Kulburg!

We'll be back with some more music, after a thorough intermission
