Thread Name: Origins: C.C. Rider, Easy Rider, See See Rider
Subject: Lyr Add: C. C. RIDER (from Terry McGhee)
CC rider or See See Rider are usual variants. Try Harry's Blues Lyrics in the Mudcat Links or here. If you look in the Allmusic guide Click Hereyou'll find practically every blues artist has recorded a version.
Such as Terry/Mcghee:below

C.C. Rider
Traditional

C.C. Rider, see what you done done, Lord, Lord, Lord
Made me love you, now your man done come
Well, you made me love you, now your man has come

C.C. Rider, where did you stay last night, Lord, Lord, Lord,
Tell me right on where did you stay last night
You come home this mornin' the sun was shinin' bright

Did you, did you get that letter that I thrown in your backyard? Lord, Lord, Lord
Did you get that letter that I thrown in your backyard?
Well, it read I would come to see you, but your best man's got me barred

Well, I'm goin' away baby, I won't be back till fall, Lord, Lord, Lord
I'm goin' away baby, I won't be back till fall
Well, if I find me a good girl, I won't be back at all

I'm gonna buy me a shotgun, long as I am tall, Lord, Lord, Lord
Gonna buy me a shotgun, long as I am tall

How's that, Stewie?
