Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Thornton - Little Red Rooster
Willie Dixon is playing bass on Howlin' Wolf's version - I'd have thought that he would have said something if the lyrics were wrong!
I imagine Willie Dixon himself changed the lyrics for his later recording. Essentially it's exactly the same meaning, 'upset' doesn't mean 'unhappy' here...
