single, 1956
Written by Jimmy Rogers (as James A. Lane)
The blues guitarist and harmonica player, once of Muddy Waters' band, had this song as an R&B hit, though it's a pretty straightforward Chicago blues. Rogers has a smooth vocal here, equal parts soul and blues. The narrator professes he loves the girl with all his heart: "Love you, yes I love you / With all my heart and soul / Wouldn't mistreat you for my weight in gold." Well then why is he walking by himself? I guess she left him despite his love, but it's not explicitly stated.
