MUDDY WATERS * I Be's Troubled *

                   El primer éxito de MUDDY WATERS , el cásico I Can' t Be Satisfied , no es ni más ni menos que una revisión más o menos irónica de I Be's Troubled , que el historiador del Blues ALAN LOMAX había grabado a Waters antes de que éste se mudase a Chicago desde su tierra natal Luisiana . 

                              

Well if I feel tomorrow, like I feel today 

I'm gonna pack my suitcase, and make my getaway 

Same lyrics, different blues

Early Muddy Waters song recorded either with Chess recorded by Lomax in the 1940s

"I Be's Troubled"

I Be's Troubled

Well if I feel tomorrow, like I feel today

I'm gonna pack my suitcase, and make my getaway

Lord I'm troubled, I'm all worried in mind

And I'm never bein' satisfied, and I just can't keep from cryin'

Yeah, I know my little ol' baby, she gonna jump and shout

That ol' train be late girl, and I come walkin' out

Lord I'm troubled, I'm all worried in mind

Yeah and I'm never bein' satisfied, and I just can't keep from cryin'

Yeah, I know somebody, who' been talkin' to you

I don't need no telling, girl, I can watch the way you do

And I be troubled, I be all worried in mind

Yeah and I'm never bein' satisfied, and I just can't keep from cryin'

Yeah, now goodbye baby

Got no more to say

Just like I been tellin' you, girl, you're gonna have to leave my way

Lord I'm troubled, I'm all worried in mind

Yeah and I'm never bein' satisfied, and I just can't keep from cryin'

Yeah my baby she quit me, seem like mama was dead

I got real worried gal, and she drove it to my head

I be's troubled, I be all worried in mind

Yeah and I'm never bein' satisfied, and I just can't keep from cryin'

            

"I Can't Be Satisfied"

Well I'm goin' away to leave

Won't be back no more

Goin' back down south, child

Don't you want to go?

Woman I'm troubled, I be all worried in mind

Well baby I just can't be satisfied

And I just can't keep from cryin'

Well I feel like snappin'

Pistol in your face

I'm gonna let some graveyard

Lord be your resting place

Woman I'm troubled, I be all worried in mind

Well baby I can never be satisfied

And I just can't keep from cryin'

Well now all in my sleep

Hear my doorbell ring

Looking for my baby

I couldn't see not a doggone thing

Woman I was troubled, I was all worried in mind

Well honey I could never be satisfied

And I just couldn't keep from cryin'

Well I know my little old baby

She gonna jump and shout

That old train be late man, Lord

And I come walking out

I be troubled, I be all worried in mind

Well honey ain't no way in the world could we be satisfied

And I just can't keep from crying
