Someday Baby

by Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins or Lowell Fulson recording of 1966, 1961 resp. 1960 from The Soul of B. B. King (United 7714) & My Kind of Blues (Crown 5188) & The Great B.B. King (B. B. King and His Orchestra) (Crown CLP 5143) Don't care when you go How long you stay But good kind treatments Will bring you back someday But someday baby I ain't gonna worry my life anymore Aw, but one thing Really give me the blues When I wore a hole In my last pair of shoes But someday baby I ain't gonna worry my life anymore Just keep on a-bettin' About the dice don't pass You're gonna leave here runnin' Almost too fast But someday baby I ain't gonna worry my life anymore Don't like everybody In my neighborhood I got a no-good woman She don't mean me no good But someday baby I ain't gonna worry my life anymore __________ Note1: a-bettin', alternate text "a-frettin'", proposed by "Avuncular" Tom Rossen. Tom also provided the missing part of the 2nd line of this verse, many thanks to him for his contribution.

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
