He was a member of the Mississippi Sheiks in concerts, and on a few of their recordings. Carter also managed that group, which included his brother, Lonnie Chatmon, on fiddle and occasionally Sam Chatmon on bass, along with a friend, Walter Vinson, on guitar and lead vocals.
Since the 1960s, Carter has become best known for his bawdy songs such as "Banana in Your Fruit Basket", "Pin in Your Cushion", "Your Biscuits Are Big Enough for Me", "Please Warm My Wiener" and "My Pencil Won't Write No More". However, his output was not restricted to risqué music. In 1928, he recorded the original version of "Corrine, Corrina", which later became a hit for Big Joe Turner and has become a standard in various musical genres.
Carter and his brothers (including pianist Harry Chatmon, who also made recordings), first learned music from their father, ex-slave fiddler Henderson Chatmon, at their home on a plantation between Bolton and Edwards, Mississippi. Their mother, Eliza, also sang and played guitar.
Carter made his recording debut in 1928, backing Alec Johnson. Carter soon was recording as a solo artist and became one of the dominant blues recording acts of the 1930s, recording 110 sides. He also played with and managed the family group, the Mississippi Sheiks, and several other acts in the area. He and the Sheiks often played for whites, playing the pop hits of the day and white-oriented dance material, as well as for blacks, using a bluesier repertoire.
Carter went partly blind during the 1930s. He settled in Glen Allan, Mississippi and despite his vision problems did some farming but also continued to play music and perform, sometimes with his brothers. Carter moved to Memphis, and worked outside the music industry in the 1940s.
Carter suffered strokes and died of a cerebral hemorrhage at Shelby County Hospital, Memphis, on September 21, 1964.
Bo Carter's style of playing the guitar and his songwriting won him fans long after he died. One of the most notable examples was blues-rock guitarist, Rory Gallagher from Ireland, who performed several of his songs, including, "All Around Man."

Warm My Weiner
Bo Carter Lyrics
I got somethin' to tell ya baby, don't get mad this time,
If you warm my wiener, you give me ease all up in my mind
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Won't you just warm my wiener, 'cause he really don't feel right cold
Now listen here, sweet baby, I ain't no lyin' man,
If you warm my wiener one time, you gonna want him again
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Won't you just warm my wiener, 'cause he really don't feel right cold
Said some says it takes hot water, baby, can't you see,
But your heat, baby's, plenty warm enough for me
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Won't you just warm my wiener, 'cause he really don't feel right cold
Now listen here sweet baby, it ain't no fake,
I'm beggin' you baby, now just give your daddy one break
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Won't you just warm my wiener, 'cause he really don't feel right cold
Now listen here, sweet baby, you know the time's growin' old,
I don't want you to warm half of my wiener, I want you to warm him all
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Won't you just warm my wiener, 'cause he really don't feel right cold
If you warm my wiener, you give me ease all up in my mind
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Won't you just warm my wiener, 'cause he really don't feel right cold
Now listen here, sweet baby, I ain't no lyin' man,
If you warm my wiener one time, you gonna want him again
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Said some says it takes hot water, baby, can't you see,
But your heat, baby's, plenty warm enough for me
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Won't you just warm my wiener, 'cause he really don't feel right cold
Now listen here sweet baby, it ain't no fake,
I'm beggin' you baby, now just give your daddy one break
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Won't you just warm my wiener, 'cause he really don't feel right cold
Now listen here, sweet baby, you know the time's growin' old,
I don't want you to warm half of my wiener, I want you to warm him all
Baby, please warm my wiener, oh, warm my wiener,
Won't you just warm my wiener, 'cause he really don't feel right cold

And who are the elderly from the 1930s
@jonwiley2592
The difference between the two eras are dirty lyrics in blues songs such as this were subtle. You had to listen carefully to the lyrics. No profanity is used. In contrast rap lyrics are coarse, often unimaginative and meant to degrade or to reinforce internalized racism.
