Forty Days - Ronnie Hawkins

Forty Days - Ronnie Hawkins
2:15
single, 1959
Written by Chuck Berry, 1955

This song is a cover of Berry's "Thirty Days," with the titular deadline changed for some reason.  Hawkins pus a rockabilly spin on it with some echoing backing vocals, and a jittery guitar and boogie-woogie piano.  The narrator of this song affirms that he's going to get the judge, the sheriff, a gypsy to put a "hoodoo" on his lady, even the FBI and the United Nations, to help him get his woman back.  Mister, she's just not that into you.
