| Robert Johnson – Me and the Devil Blues (Take 1) Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| I have been a fan of this song for some time and alway thought the lyric "I'm going to beat my woman til I get satisfied" was possibly the heaviest lyric ever written but had always gotten caught up in the selling his soul mythology and assumed they were related. However, I am pretty sure Son House started all of that after Johnson was long dead (white upper class college kids will believe ANYTHING) which leaves me still wondering about this song and I think I just had an moment of clarity, his women the devil and had just shown up after being out all night or something like that.....how did the hell did I miss that all of these years. Sadly it took a girl that might be the devil for me to get it. Man, I wish it hadn't taken all of that to get it, but maybe that is the only path. | |
