by
McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters
recording 1947, Chicago
from
The Chess Box (MCA 80002)
& (Chess CHD 9274) & The Beginnings Of Rock (Aristocrat 1302),
You know the gypsy woman told me that you your mother's bad-luck child
You know the gypsy woman told me that you your mother's bad-luck child
Well, you're having a good time now, but that'll be trouble after while
Well, you know I went to a gypsy woman to have my fortune told
She say, "You better go back home son and peep through your, your key hole"
You know the gypsy woman told me that you your mother's bad-luck child
Well, you're having a good time now, but that'll be trouble after while
Well, now, you know I went back home, I took the gypsy woman as she said
I peeped through my key hole and there was another man laying in my bed
You know the gypsy woman told me that you your mother's bad-luck child
Well, you're having a good time now, but that'll be trouble after while

Note: this song was cut at the first recording session of Muddy Waters for the Aristrocat label, the forerunner of the famous Chess label. It was cut together with one more song, "
Little Anna Mae
", and released in the spring of 1947. It wasn't a big seller so Muddy couldn't quit his day job yet, driving a truck for the Western Graves Company and delivering venetian blinds. Muddy would have to wait until April 1948 before Aristocrat asked him to record again.
