by
McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters
recording of October 23, 1950
from probably
Chess Box (Chess 9340)
I'm goin' down in Louisiana
Be, be, behind the sun
I'm goin' down in Louisiana
Honey, behind the sun
Well, you know I just found out
My troubles just begun
I'm goin' down in New Orleans, hmm
Get me a
mojo hand
I'm goin' down in New Orleans
Get me a mojo hand
(spoken: oh take me with you, man, when you goin')
I'm 'on show all you good lookin' women
Yes, how to treat your love
(spoken: let's go back to New Orleans)
