GUEST,Joseph Scott Lyric 'what you done done' (3) Lyric 'what you done done' 21 Mar 17


An early example of "what you done done" (later famous for being in "See See Rider") is

"Boll Weevil, Boll Weevil, just look what you done done"

from a Georgia musician's "Boll Weevil Blues" as quoted in the Monroe [North Carolina] _Journal_, 7/23/1920.

Lethia Hill's recording "Old North State Blues" predates Ma Rainey's "See See Rider" and includes "just see what you done done/You made me love you...." It was written by Noah Perkins, who was born in North Carolina in about 1883.
