How I wish, you was mine.
Honey, I'll be your love,
You'll be mine. You'll be mine. You'll be mine.
You so nice, you so true,
I'm so glad, I love you.
Honey, I'll be your love,
You'll be mine.
You'll be mine.
Tell me pretty, pretty baby,
Is you gonna try?
If you said, maybe,
Hang on baby til the day I die.
It is true, I love you.
I don't care, what you do.
Honey, I'll be your love, You'll be mine.
You'll be mine.
You'll be mine.
Tell me pretty, pretty baby,
Is you gonna try?
If you said, maybe,
Hang on baby til the day I die.
That is true, I love you.
I don't care, what you do.
Honey, I'll be your love,
You'll be mine.
You'll be mine.
You'll be mine.
The Howlin' Wolf's song "You'll Be Mine" is a declaration of love from the singer to his lover. He is expressing his deep feelings for her and making it clear that he wants to be with her. The repeated line "You'll be mine" highlights his determination to make her his, no matter what it takes. He goes on to describe her sweetness, beauty, and genuineness, emphasizing that he loves her for who she is.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as the singer asks his lover if she will try to be with him. If she agrees, he promises to hold onto her until the end of his life. He tells her that his love is true and unconditional, regardless of what she may do in the future. The final verse repeats this sentiment, with the singer once again declaring his love and offering himself to her.

The T. Rex episode of ‘Your Favorite Band Sucks’ brought me here. 🤣
@chegauerke1431
Sounds real good! Obviously Marc Bolan thought the same.
@PAULLONDEN
Rock'n Roll is all about influences , take (steal) what you need along the way , Wolf probably did his own little bit of lifting ; especially with those four bar blues song structures.
@timo.6634
Buddy Guy on bass for some of the rocking chair album. Crazy stuff.
@omegasparks6897
MB's version is a tribute to this one, both are great.
@TheBohemiaStudios
Really dig this
@cosmicdebris2223
I never knew this... still, I think T-Rex did a good job bringing that up to date so to speak.
