John Lee Hooker
recording of November 1962
from John Lee Hooker: Boogie Chillun (),
You know you don' move me babe,
You know you just don' move me no more
You know you just don' move me little girl
You know you just don' move me no more
I used to love you so hard, so hard, baby,
you almos' drove me out of my mind
I finally found a new love, a new love, do all the things that you didn't do
I found a brand new love, a brand new love, to do all the things that you didn't do
And that's why, that's why, purrty
baby, you just don't love little Johnny no more
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Oh yeah, baby, babe, your cryin' just won't help no more,
let your tears fall down, fall down baby
It just don't worry me to see you cry
I tried to love you baby, but you would not treat me right,
I did ever'thing for you baby, you run around both night and day
I tried to talk to you baby, but you wouldn't pay me no mind
Until I just couldn't sleep at night, you had me dreamin' all kinds of bad dreams, baby
I was so worried about you baby, I was about to go outta my mind
I finally found someone babe, to ease my misery
You don't move me no more babe
You don't move me no more babe

Note 1: purrty, according to the Webster dictionary, a low vibratory murmur typical of an apparently contented or pleased cat. Southern Louisiana's John "JohnnyB" Bradford says: according to the Southern vernacular, is just another way to say pretty. Thanks to John "JohnnyB" Bradford for this contribution
