I just found this site -- looks very interesting, and polite! Can anyone tell me where to find the lyrics to Muddy Water's "Rock Me?" There is a blues jam here in Corvallis, OR -- and I want to give it a try. Thanks!

Ethel Waters was once a guest on TV's Route 66. She sang a Blues tune, Rock Me in your Arms to Sleep. It haunts me yet. I want the lyrics. Can anyone remember?

ROCK ME
(McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters)

Want you to rock me, baby. Rock me all night long. (2x)
Well I want you to rock me baby, like my back ain't got no bones.

Sun goin' down. The moon begin to rise. (2x)
Well I want you to rock me baby, till you make me satisfied.

See me comin', run get your rockin' chair. (2x)
Well you know I ain't no stranger. You know I used to live right here.

Want you to roll me like I roll a wagon wheel. (2x)
You know I want you to roll me over. You know how good that makes me feel.

Rock me easy. Rock your baby slow. (2x)
Well, you know I want you to rock me so easy, till I don't wanna rock no more.

Put your arms around me like a circle around the sun. (2x)
I want you to call, call me daddy. Let me lay down in your arms.

O Yah..Muddy Waters surely is the king of all blues. I know many of you Mudcatters don't go for his style and stay close to MJH and Leadbelly, but you ought to give Muddy and the rest of those cats a chance. It's an entirely different world of sight and sound. Check out Muddy's website. He would be the regal lookin' Black man.Muddy Waters. Com. If you ever get a chance to see the film of him doing "Mojo Workin" check it out. Almost a religious experience. He is the original Mud Cat;~)

"Rock Me," might be the basis for Bonnie Raitt's "Love me Like A Man".
Does anyone know?

I was looking for these lyrics recently and on another website, to my astonishment, I found them credited to BB King/Joe Josea.

I'd always thought it was Muddy Waters... what a relief!
