It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
And right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care, by the time I'm done
Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar
And take our sweet little time about it
Let's have a ball, girl
And take our sweet little time about it
Tell everybody in the place to just get out
We'll get clean together
And I'll find me a soapbox where I can shout it
Yeah
Read it in the newspaper
Ask your girlfriends and see if they know
Read it in the newspaper
Ask your girlfriends and see if they know
That my strength is ten-fold, girl
I'll let you see it if you want to before you go
Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar
And take our sweet little time about it
Let's have a ball
And take our sweet little time about it
Tell everybody in the place to just get out
We'll get clean together
And I'll find me a soapbox where I can shout it
And I can think of one or two things to say about it
Now listen
D'you get the point now?
It's quite possible that I'm your third man
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
It was the other two which made me your third
But it's my mother who made me the seventh son
And right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care by the time I'm done
Yeah, you're just right
You stick around
You'll figure it out

Is that a real guitar, or a Sears guitar? Don't matter — Mad Jack be gettin' it done, and then some! |
| sfuller (Central, Iowa) | Posted: Aug 22, 2008 - 07:00 Pretty funky. Really heavy for a blues based riff. |
| Jeremy_Cherfas | Posted: Aug 22, 2008 - 06:59 Playing this quietly in the office is obviously not ideal ... but it's a lot better than not playing it. |

The derivation of derivitive is... Precisely. Taken for what it is, music in evolution, it kicks ass. Comparing this to old favorites is a sure formula for disappointment. |

| Paul_in_Australia (Melbourne) | Posted: Apr 18, 2008 - 04:57 I think Jack White would take a guard of middle and off, judging by the way he holds the cricket bat. (Maybe off stump, based upon his guitar solo) |

I tend to agree, but I've encountered some perceptive young 'uns (they're out there!) who have awareness of progenitors like Hendrix, and are quite able to put latter day disposables like the WS in proper perspective. They can enjoy both. There's hope yet! |

| Jamunca (Asheville, NC) | Posted: Aug 13, 2007 - 21:08 Don't think I've ever seen so many negative comments about a song rated higher than a 6. I think a lot of White Stripes fans are remaining silent. Me, I think this is pretty ok. I mean, I won't sign up with a new long-distance carrier over it. But I won't just discard it either. |
| Misterfixit (Nashville) | Posted: Aug 13, 2007 - 21:08 YEAH, find you a soapbox and shout it! The White Stripes know how to bust some rocks. Most excellent bass too .... Love 'em! |

Interesting. We share a birthday a year apart, we both locate ourselves with geo coords yet you could care less for this and I can barely like it more than I do. One of my favorite albums ever. Astrology sucks. |

Hey, Mozart was "teenager music" at one time. I'm so happy to be referred to as a teenager that I'm giddy. Hope Johnny takes me out for a soda tonight. |
| shutter (You can't get here from there) | Posted: Jul 13, 2007 - 09:15 Yup, my favorite, too. My son always chuckles when I crank it up. He gets kinda annoyed when he's in the car, though... |
| wookie (Pleasanton, CA) | Posted: Jul 13, 2007 - 09:15 could anybody with an axe do that?  |
