Sonny Boy Williamson II

Aleck "Sonny Boy Williamson" Miller (possibly December 5, 1912 – May 25, 1965) was an American blues harmonica player, singer and songwriter, from Mississippi. He is acknowledged as one of the most charismatic and influential blues musicians, with considerable prowess on the harmonica and highly creative songwriting skills. He recorded successfully in the 1950s and 1960s, and had a direct influence on later blues and rock performers. He should not be confused with another leading blues performer, John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, who died in 1948. more »

Now. look-a-there, the honey

Now, look-a-there, the honey
Mercy me
Now, look-a-there, the honey
A-ooo-wee 
Baby, way there over there by the apple tree

Now, look-a-there
She kind-a, big n' fat
Now, look-a-there 
A-but it ain't like that
Now, look-a-there, the honey
The ooo-wee
Baby, way over there by the apple tree

I love, yo' lovely little apple
I think yo' apple is awful fine
So crazy about yo' mellow little apples

Because a-ev'ry night an days
A-roll across my mind

I wonder when she comin' back?
Now, look-a-there, the honey

Baby, way over there by the apple tree

Now, look-a-there
She got long, black. curly, hair
Now, look-a-there
Her brother don't 'llow me there
Now, look-a-there, a-honey
A-ooo-wee
Baby, way over there by the apple tree

I love, love yo' mellow little apple
I think yo' apple's awful fine
I'm so crazy about yo' lovely little apples
Because
A-ev'ry night an day they run across my mind

A-looky there, oh honey

Now, look-a-there 
A-honey, mercy me
Now, look-a-there
The honey, a-ooo-wee
A-way over there by the apple tree.
