Want you to rock me baby, rock me all night long
Want you to rock me baby, rock me all night long
Well I want you to rock me baby, like my back ain't got no bones

Sun goin' down, the moon begin to rise
Sun goin' down, the moon begin to rise
Well I want you to rock me baby, till you make me satisfied

See me comin', run get your rockin' chair
See me comin', run get your rockin' chair
Well you know I ain't no stranger, you know I used to live right here

Want you to roll me, like I roll a wagon wheel
Want you to roll me, like I roll a wagon wheel
You know I want you to roll me over, you know how good that makes me feel

Rock me easy, rock your baby slow
Rock me easy, rock your baby slow
Well you know I want you to rock me so easy, till I don't wanna rock no more

Put your arms around me, like a circle around the sun
Put your arms around me, like a circle around the sun
I want you to call, call me daddy, let me lay down in your arms

I always loved this album and its album cover. A watercolor portrait by my teacher Philip Hays, and the cover design by Paula Scher!

Now what does he mean by "rock me all night long"?

Is there a "hoochie coochie" involved? 

Or maybe a "wang dang doodle"?

We performed these songs & at 69 years old, i still dig the shit out of them, man!

...i guess when performed these songs for the people who care about stuff >way more important in those days< &  we always had  a great time doing it for the real people:

I don't think any of those people, many down on their luck, to say the least, give one sweet shit about what you stinking think...

Why don't you offer some constructive comment or shutup or would that be 
...so
very 
tired
worn
out
play
out
done
...too hard... 


GOODBye & good luck with that.

Managed to see Muddy Waters at Fry Foggles in London, Ontario several times in 1974-75.   

That was the MDA period for me.  We danced like fiends.

For me, the world's a lesser place for Muddy's absence.  But greatness like this song lives on.  Play the blues, Muddy.

Well, the liner notes credit Big Walter Horton, not Little Walter Jacobs, both of whom incidentally co-authored a book about diatonic blues harp, Sourcebook of Little Walter/Big Walter Licks for Blues Harmonica, published by Centerstream. Don'cha love this site?

This is great. I think I like blues as much as I dislike so-called "soul" music. One extreme like and one extreme dislike. Muddy Waters may be the avatar or the epitome. Whaddaya think?

Somebody here seriously needs to have their mojo in the upright and working position. I know some people; you can have that looked at professionally.

Well, Diane it's like this: This is the Blues, if you don't like it then you don't like the Blues, that's all there is to it. Now as far as just two notes on the blues harp (harmonica), better take a closer hear. There's a bit more than two. If you want to complain about harmonica listen to Alanis Morisette's playing, now that's painfull! (pimp) 8)
