Getting tired of Muddy Waters. There's a lot of great Chicago Blues musicians who deserve more airplay.

Isn't this one of those albums he did late in his career, with Johnny Winter producing/performing?

"Come over here and I'll prove I ain't no queer"?

(I see some claim it's "square", not "queer". Try listening to the song instead of reading the lyrics. It's clearly "queer".)


Even if he was saying 'queer' (which he isn't), the word had a completely different meaning when this was recorded.

One of my favorite Muddy Waters songs, and I think it might be Little Walter on Harmonica but I am not sure, I just know he played with Muddy quite a bit.

Most Definitely Square.

Those of you that think other wise need to get out to your local blues clubs and open your ears. It'll be an eye/ear opener for sure, you need it!

You'd better listen a bit closer because he clearly says "square." His pronunciation leaves the "s" at the beginning of "square" almost silent.

the man is singing "i'm no square" (or queer. or whatever, as long as
it rhymes with "overhere"). i fail to see the bashing. it seems like
useful info when singing to a woman. oh, and it's just an old song...

I agree. I have a version on a compilation of Willie Dixon compositions, and they had Muddy singing this song on it, and it seemed a lot more raw, and a lot more urgent. I liked that version better. But, we are splitting hairs here. This is a great song by a great artist.

I think u b right kemo sabe! Many of these old blooze tunes were recorded in very primitive studios. Now that blues is gaining popularity, they're being cleaned up and re-recorded.

Now I'm ready for you, I hope you're ready for me

I hope some screwball start a fight
'Cause I'm ready, ready as anybody can be
I'm ready for you, I hope you're ready for me

All you pretty little chicks with your pretty little hair
I know you feels like I ain't nowhere
But stop what your doin' baby come overhere
I'll prove to you baby, that I ain't no square
Because I'm ready, ready as anybody can be
Now I'm ready for you, I hope you're ready for me

I been drinkin' gin like never before
I feel so good, I want you to know
One more drink, I wish you would
I takes a whole lotta lovin' to make me feel good
'Cause I'm ready, ready as anybody can be
Now I'm ready for you, I hope you're ready for me
