Little Walter

Little Walter, born Marion Walter Jacobs (May 1, 1930 – February 15, 1968), was an American blues harmonica player, whose revolutionary approach to his instrument has earned him comparisons to Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix, for innovation and impact on succeeding generations. His virtuosity and musical innovations fundamentally altered many listeners' expectations of what was possible on blues harmonica. Little Walter was inducted to the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008 in the "sideman" category making him the first and only artist ever to be inducted specifically for his work as a harmonica player. more »

Oh, tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Oh, tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Yes, when I come in
Who went out that back door?

Now don't come here mama
I'm gonna start a ragin' stand
You been out boogie-woogie'n
There's somethin' I don't understand

I want you to tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Yes, when I come in
Who went out that back door?

Now this is somethin'
I never seen before
A man is gettin' my money
Always slammin' my back door

I want you to tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Yes, when I came in
Who went out that back door?

Oh, I had to wanna kneel down
You couldn't give the truth
His hat in his hand
And his overcoat too

I want you to tell me mama
Why can't you be true?
Yes, when I came in
Who went out that back door?

He came by me runnin'
Smellin' like a whiskey can
My hat in his hand
And my overcoat too

I want you to tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Yes, when I came in
Who went out that back door?
