Robert Johnson

Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 – August 16, 1938) was an American blues singer and musician. His landmark recordings from 1936–37 display a combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that has influenced later generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend, including the Faustian myth that he sold his soul at a crossroads to achieve success. As an itinerant performer who played mostly on street corners, in juke joints, and at Saturday night dances, Johnson had little commercial success or public recognition in his lifetime. more »

Now, she is a little queen of spades, and the men will not let her be
Mmm, she is the little queen of spades, and the men will not let her be
Everytime she makes a spread, hoo, fair brown, cold chill just runs all over me

I'm gon' get me a gamblin' woman, if it's the last thing that I do
Hee, gon' get me a gambling woman, if it's the last thing that I do
Well, a man don't need a woman, hoo, fair brown, that he got to give all his money to

Everybody say she got a mojo, now, she's been usin' that stuff
Mmm, everybody says she got a mojo, 'cause she been usin' that stuff
But she got a way trimmin' down, hoo, fair brown, and I mean it's most too tough

Now little girl, since I am the king, baby, and you is a queen
Hoo, since I am the king baby, and you is a queen
Let's us put our heads together, hoo, fair brown, then we can make our money green
