Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want you to rock me baby, rock me all night long
Well I want you to rock me baby, like my back ain't got no bones
Sun goin' down, the moon begin to rise
Sun goin' down, the moon begin to rise
Well I want you to rock me baby, till you make me satisfied
See me comin', run get your rockin' chair
Well you know I ain't no stranger, you know I used to live right here
Want you to roll me, like I roll a wagon wheel
Want you to roll me, like I roll a wagon wheel
You know I want you to roll me over, you know how good that makes me feel
Rock me easy, rock your baby slow
Rock me easy, rock your baby slow
Well you know I want you to rock me so easy, till I don't want to rock no more
Put your arms around me, like a circle around the sun
Put your arms around me, like a circle around the sun
I want you to call, call me daddy, let me lay down in your arms

I am just unable to pick up my jaw. That sound! How he plays it! I know he's amazing, I haven't heard a song of him I didn't love, but something about this still totally blindsided and floored me.

I remember being totally blown away the first time I saw him. It was the unique sound that he created. It was as if he was caressing his guitar strings. This video is absolutely brilliant and perfectly shows what I mean. Thank you BBK.

@Vahnchelsea
One of the blues legend. No one could replace the late Mr BB King own style of blues, especially his quarter bend, tone and vibrato playing.
