So, I'm sure I did not learn this song from Ma Rainey, Mississippi John Hurt, or Big Bill Broonzy. I'm not sure where I heard it. Maybe it was this version by Eric Burdon and the Animals. Anybody know of other pop versions that sold well? Can't say I like this one.


SEE SEE RIDER
(version by Eric Burdon)

Oh see, see see rider, girl see what you've done
Oh oh, see see rider, see what you've done now
You've gone away and left me and now
And now the blues they come oh yes they do

Oh well I'm goin' goin' away baby and I won't be back till fall
Oh yes I am goin' away baby and I won't be back till fall
If I get me a good lookin' woman, no no no, I won't be back at all oh right
Now see see rider, I love you yes I do, and there isn't one thing darling
I would not do for you, you know I want you see see
I need you by my side, see see rider, oh keep me satisfied

And a see see rider see see rider
See see rider, see see rider, see rider
See see rider, you keep on a ridin', keep on a ridin'
Here it comes baby look out
Beat it all right don't lose it now, come on, come on, yeah

Here she comes she's oh right
She's so fine she's all mine
See see come on Jenny dig a ride now, hey

Well I'm goin', goin' away baby and I won't be back till fall
Yes, I'm goin', goin' away baby and I won't be back till fall
If I find me a good lookin' woman, no no no, I won't be back at all
And that's the truth baby listen I'm goin' all right
Somebody told me somebody told me
I jump catch on I leave it oh right oh right ah
