Subject: Three blues tunes I can't find From: GUEST,tkane - PM Date: 02-Aug-02 - 11:47 AM I was reminded of a few blues songs and I don't see any of them on the site. Does anyone know songs with these lines? 1) You got the right key but you're workin'on the wrong keyhole. 2) My man is a handyman. 3) You've got your ________ in my bowl. I can't remember what's in the blank. I never heard this one but someone was asking me if I could play it. |

Subject: Lyr Add: NEED A LITTLE SUGAR IN MY BOWL From: Jim Dixon Date: 04 Aug 02 - 09:47 AM Lyrics copied from http://www.unc.edu/courses/2000fall/hist22-004/sugar.html
NEED A LITTLE SUGAR IN MY BOWL
Tired of bein' lonely, tired of bein' blue,
I need a little sugar in my bowl,
I need a little sugar, in my bowl,
(Spoken:) Get off your knees, I can't see what you're drivin' at! [As sung by Bessie Smith on "Complete Recordings, Vol. 5: The Final Chapter" (Columbia/Legacy 57546), recorded November 20 1931. Also recorded by Nina Simone, Diana Ross, and others. On some recordings, the title is shortened to "Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl" "Sugar in My Bowl," etc.] |
