Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

It's a pity the way I love you, and you ain't worth a dime.
You talk all night in your sleep, baby then you wake up lyin'.
It will take me a while to forget you, but I'll finally get you off my mind.

Your ways is so sweet, but oh, what a rotten mind.
Your face is really beautiful, babe, and your jive is really fine.
That's it … [spoken words – Dan Dixon]
But to trust you with the truth mama, you know is just a waste of time.

When you first met me you said you loved me, I knew all the time that you was lyin'.
Said you loved me baby, but I couldn't get you off my mind.
You know I ‘s just a poor little fool, that's why you played me for deaf, dumb, and blind.
Yes, talk to me! [spoken words – Dan Dixon]

When you said you was all mine, I was still too dumb to see.
When you said you was all mine, I was still too dumb to see.
How could Jones be your brother, when your last name is Julia Lee?

I know you didn't love me baby; it was so plain to see.
Aaaaah, greased ‘n lightenin'! [spoken words – Dan Dixon]
You still lied to me baby, and you made a sap out of po' little me.
You know yourself Jones and Lee, don't sound like sister and brother to me.
