I'm trying to find out what Little Walter is singing on the version of "You Don't Love Me" with Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters and Little Walter. Any help appreciated Cheers John
Hi Evets You'll see that those lyrics are nothing like the lyrics Little Walter is singing. I just can't make out some of the lines he's singing. Those are the lyrics I want help with. Someone has suggested these which are pretty close, the second version of the first verse I think is correct. The second verse I'm still not sure about that 3rd line Any help anyone?
You don't love me Didn't ever try You acting like I just ain't your style
You know I love you I cross my heart ???? Weren't so long Til we had to part
Another suggestion for the first verse is
Girl,You dont love me Left me here to cry You acted like You aint my desire
I have the second verse as You know I love you I cross my heart One why so long ? Til we had to part
You know I love you, I crossed my heart Wasnt quite so long Til we had to part
That's about as close as I can get. The "quite" doesn't totally convince me but it scans and the "white" sound is in there so if he's just omitted the "qua"sound off the head it works and I think it's consistent with the way he sang sometimes. This is a pretty loose situation so his enunciation is not as clear as on most of his studio work.
