Don't Start Me Talkin'

Don't Start Me Talkin'
Little Walter & Sonny Boy Williamson Lyrics


Well, I'm goin' down to Rosie's, stop at Fannie Mae's
Gonna tell Fannie what I heard her boyfriend say

Don't start me talkin', I'll tell her everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin', 'cause somebody's got to go

Jack give his wife two dollars, go downtown and get some margarine
Gets out on the streets, ol' George stopped her
He knocked her down and blackened her eye
She gets back home, tell her husband a lie

Don't start me talkin, I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin', somebody's got to go

She borrowed some money, go to the beauty shop
Jim honked his horn, she begin to stop
Said, take me, baby, around the block
I'm goin to the beauty shop, where I can get my hair sot

Don't start me talkin', I'll tell everything I know
Well, to break up this signifyin', oh, somebody's got to go

After Trumpet Records folded, on August 12, 1955, Sonny Boy Williamson II had his first recording session for Checker Records. "Don't Start Me Talkin'" was recorded at these sessions. Backing Williamson ( vocals and harmonica ) were Otis Spann on piano , Muddy Waters and Jimmy Rogers on guitar , Willie Dixon on bass , and Fred Below on drums . [

Thanks for list of "sidemen". Quite a group.

Thanks

Best version of all time. This is the one I learned to play the harp to in '65. Just wish people could get the lyrics right. She said, "I'm goin' to the beauty shop, where I can get my hair SOT" Not where I can get my hair sock!" The word is is colloquial for "set" but he's using the supposed past tense as in 'get' and 'got' therefore 'set' and 'sot.' You'd have to know the people who used this terminology. Words like this are quite common.

"Socking"was the term for straightening the hair with a hot comb, so it could be either one

@QQH1
