Driving Wheel
by 
B.B. King 
Jules Taub 
recording of probably 1961 
from 
My Kind of Blues (Crown 5188) 
Well, my baby don't have to work 
And she don't have to rob and steal 
Well, my baby don't have to work 
And she don't have to rob and steal 
Yes, I'll give her everything she needs 
'Cause I am her driving wheel 
Yes, she left me this morning 
And she said she'd be back soon 
Yes, she left me this morning 
And she said she'd be back soon 
Yes, she would be back early Friday mornin' 
Or laid over Saturday afternoon 
Yes, every time she walk 
She shake like a leaf tremblin' on a tree 
Yes, when my baby walk down the street 
She shake like a leaf tremblin' on a tree 
Yes, the women all hate her 
But man, she's alright with me 
Whoah, I sent the U.N. a telegram 
Don't want nobody else to break the seal 
Whoah, I sent the U.N. a telegram 
Don't want nobody else to break the seal 
I want the whole world to know 
That I am my baby's driving wheel
