Jimmy Reed

Mathis James "Jimmy" Reed (September 6, 1925 – August 29, 1976) was an American blues musician and songwriter, notable for bringing his distinctive style of blues to mainstream audiences. Reed was a major player in the field of electric blues, as opposed to the more acoustic-based sound of many of his contemporaries. His lazy, slack-jawed singing, piercing harmonica and hypnotic guitar patterns were one of the blues' most easily identifiable sounds in the 1950s and 1960s, and had a significant impact on many rock and roll artists who followed, such as Elvis Presley, Billy Gibbons and the Rolling Stones. more »

Well, I'm goin' down to Rosie's, stop at Fannie Mae's 
Gonna tell Fannie what I heard, her boyfriend say 

Don't start me to talkin', I'll tell her everything I know 
I'm gonna break up this signifyin', 'cause somebody's got to go 

Jack give his wife two dollars, go downtown and get some margarine 
Gets out on the streets, ol' George stopped her 
He knocked her down, and blackened her eye 
She gets back home, tell her husband a lie 

Don't start me to talkin, I'll tell everything I know 
I'm gonna break up this signifyin', somebody's got to go 

She borrowed some money, go to the beauty shop 
Jim honked his horn, she begin to stop 
She said, take me, baby, around the block
I'm goin to the beauty shop, where I can get my hair sock 

Don't start me to talkin', I'll tell everything I know 
Well, to break up this signifyin', somebody's got to go
