Help Me (Live at the American Folk Blues Festival, 1966)

And now, we would like to try to do a number that I made myself

As a tribute to Sonny Boy Williamson

You gotta help me, Lord I can't do it all by myself

You gotta help me, darlin', people I can't do it all by myself

If you don't help me, darlin', I'm gonna find myself somebody else

I might do the washing, I might have to sew

I might do the cookin', I might mop that floor

But you help me, darlin', Lord, I can't do it all by myself

If you don't help me, darlin', I'm gonna find myself somebody else

Look here

When I walk, walk with me

When I talk, you talk to me

Lord, baby, woman, I can't do it all by myself

If you don't help me, darlin', I'm gonna find myself somebody else

Now you know, uh, there's just one more little thing that, uh

I would like for Sonny Boy to know

But I know that he can't hear me

But I, I think that his family

Somebody throughout his family

If you hear this record, I want you to always remember

And I hope that you will appreciate

Along with the millions of fans of Sonny Boy

Just how much I appreciated the things that he did for me

And the things that he did for people all over the world

Hey

Bring me my nightshade, put on your mornin' gown

Ooh, bring me my nightshade, put on your mornin' gown

'Cause you might sleep me down, but I do feel like lyin' down

Have mercy
