The lyrics of John Mayall's "My Babe" express the singer's affection and admiration for his partner. He declares that she doesn't allow anyone to kiss her except for him, and he takes great pride in this. This could suggest possessiveness, but more likely indicates a deep level of trust and intimacy between the two. He also expresses that she expresses her love for him through physical touch, as she does nothing but kiss and hug him. This reinforces the idea of their deep connection and affection for each other. The final lines of the song repeat the singer's affectionate nickname for his partner, "true little baby," which further emphasizes his fondness for her.

I'm a big Animals fan, but I tend to really love the songs on this album that just have Sonny and his harmonica.

Sonny had a bad infected tooth during this performance and, still, blew it out of the atmosphere!
