Sittin' thinkin' sinkin' drinkin'
Wond'ring what I'd do when I'm thru tonight
Smoking, moping, maybe just hopin'
Some little girl will pass on by
Don't wanna be alone but I love my girl at home
I remember what she said
She said "My, my, my don't tell lies. Keep fidelity in your head
My, my, my, don't tell lies. When you're done you should go to bed
Don't say Hi, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead and you're dead"
Sit up, fed up, low down, go 'round
Down at the bar at the place I'm at
Sitting, drinking, superfic'ly thinking
About the rinsed out blonde on my left
Then I said "Hi" like a spider to a fly
Remembering what my little girl said
She was common, flirty, she looked about thirty
I would have run away but I was on my own
She told me later, she's a machine operator
She said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said "My, my" like the spider to a fly
"Jump right ahead in my web"
Wond'ring what I'd do when I'm thru tonight
Smoking, moping, maybe just hopin'
Some little girl will pass on by
Don't wanna be alone but I love my girl at home
I remember what she said
She said "My, my, my don't tell lies. Keep fidelity in your head
My, my, my, don't tell lies. When you're done you should go to bed
Don't say Hi, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead and you're dead"
Sit up, fed up, low down, go 'round
Down at the bar at the place I'm at
Sitting, drinking, superfic'ly thinking
About the rinsed out blonde on my left
Then I said "Hi" like a spider to a fly
Remembering what my little girl said
She was common, flirty, she looked about thirty
I would have run away but I was on my own

She said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said "My, my" like the spider to a fly
"Jump right ahead in my web"

If you can get your ears to go past the vocals, which requires a bit of discipline, than you will be able to see that Keef is always front and center on the Stones records - he is the riff master after all. |
| WonderLizard (2,755.46 mi. due east of Paradise) | Posted: Oct 05, 2012 - 12:12 I like the phrase "she looked about thirty," which from their point of view at that time was OLD. Nowadays, man, thirty looks as fresh as a spring rose. |
| bachbeet | Posted: Sep 03, 2012 - 22:56 Good song from the early Stones. Not often heard. Of course that's why we like RP. |

Jools my friend....I am 100% male.How's things across the pond? Can I ask you the same question? I like to jump in now and then and stir things up. Boober was a nickname given to me at age 2(long story)....nothing to do with the female anatomy. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: May 18, 2011 - 13:58 Todd Snider does a really good version of this song - he puts such comedic inflections in all the right places that I can't help but giggle when I hear it. |

Dang that boy is most likely a spittin' image of his old man (especially Down Where it Counts — remember what you said "Oh My God! No Way I Can ......"). Here, now, don't worry about that there Sue-Port and DNA Paternity Testing ... You see, Old Misterfixit got rich after them Army days and thet little fracas over in Veetnam where he got all tangled up in blue. Yep, Old Misterfixit is ... well .. how should I put this ... REALLY rich. I do believe that the term is "Obscenely Rich". It is all about buying low and selling high and knowing when to deal, when to pull out (something GB should have learned) and when to do whatever makes ya feel right up in that old thalamouse or whereever in your haid. Well sure, I still live in a little old double wide out here on the farm in middle Tennessee .. it's a mite bit more homey than the house I growed up in — I got the indoor plumbing, I got the 'lectricity from the T.V.A., don't need the Sweet Water Well any more. Of course, the 2500 acres do help a bit to keep my privacy, don't ya know — oh, and the guns too ... OK, sorry for the long story .. just wanted to bring you up to date, don't ya know. Oh, and five wives too ... well not at the same time (well, ok, number three and four sort of .... uhhhh.... "over-lapped" should I say, but they fixed that with that Writ of Enjoinder or whatever the lawyer boy charged me $10,000 for (guess I shouldna said "lawyer boy" 'cause he's one of them African American guys what graduated from one of them Atmospherically Black Colleges here in Tennessee — the same one I just gave a couple of mil for their new data center ... huummmm "That Lawyer Gentleman" .. OK?). Anyway back to the Merry Wives of Windsor (Windsor Tennessee, don't ya know not that old england place where they dress in womens clothes and whip each other) Well, I'm pretty right happy with Old Number Six .. 'course she isn't "old" at all ... met her last year at an Insane Clown Posse concert (you know, the one where the kid on LSD threw himself over the bridge and onto a speeding eighteen wheeler heading West on Interstate 40. The kid went down I-40 also, but seems he didn't get to Memphis like he wanted to. Probably saw Elvis though). ANYway, I met this little chickdee .. she was passing around some stuff called exactly? extaly" I don't know —- some modern shit. Anyway, after we got back to that there Doublewide and made the shingles shake for a few hours (Praise His Holy Name for that Vigary Pill), we decided to get married. Her momma and daddy said it was OK too and she done promised to finish High School with the GED. Well, Hunny-Buns, that's about all the news I can bring you up on fer right now. Anyway, send me your address and I'll get that money man of mine to send ya a check. Got me a real nice Jewish Boy what takes care of the money investing and all that stuff them folks is so good at. And the next time you try to put one over on Old Misterfixit (if you have read this far) well, Come On Down ... and drop me another note or three. |
| jools (Brighton UK) | Posted: Jul 06, 2010 - 06:52 Now this is what The Stones were all about - white men singing the Blues - almost as well as the original! Great stuff!!! |

You wouldn't think that girls didn't like the Stones watching old concert footage about the time they were getting their start... the girls were literally tackling Jagger onstage in some of the clips I was watching last night on the History Channel's Biography program. |
