I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, I'm in the mood for love
I said night time is the right time, to be with the one you love
You know when night come baby, God know, you're so far away
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, in the mood, baby, in the mood for love
I said yes, my mama told me, to leave that girl alone
But my mama didn't know, God know, girl was puttin' down
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, in the mood for love

| Albert1967 (Leusden, the Netherlands) | Posted: Mar 26, 2010 - 06:30 JLH, Sonny Boy Williamson and Howling Wolf are my 50s blues favs . . . |

Bonnie Raitt, who performed a version of this song with him, said the same thing in an interview. She called him one of the sexiest men she ever knew. Funny, that's how I feel about Bonnie! |

I remember seeing JLH at the Boom Boom Room in SF about ten years ago. He shuffles out with his 335 on his shoulder and a total FOX on each arm. Viagra would have been redundant. Like gasoline on a fire. Still, a troubling visual. |

Something is telling me you're not breakin Johnny's heart here. And I'm not really sure the rest of us really care either. |
