Meet Me in the City (Junior Kimbrough cover) Lyrics

Meet me in the city
And see everything is so fine
We'll get together now, darlin'
Oh yes we will
We'll make everything alright
Now honey don't
Oh honey don't
Please, please don't leave me right now, baby
Right now, right now
Oh no no no

You got me, baby
You got me, darlin'
You got me where you want me, baby
Girl, I know you are satisfied
Still begging you, baby
Don't leave me here

Please, please don't leave me
Right now baby, right now, right now
Oh no no no

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This track is from the Key's album: Chulahoma, which is made up of remakes of Junior Kimbrough's songs. He had a very crucial influence on Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. However, the Black Keys were never able to meet Junior Kimbrough before he died. It is interesting to compare the Key's version to the orginal--I have to say I love the Black Key's take on it more.

Nice work Emma. I purchased Chulahoma a month ago, and have not looked back. This is some GREAT stuff. Right up there with Rubber Factory for me.

i used to prefer this version over Junior Kimbrough's but have since changed my mind. Still love this one though, both artists put so much emotion into the vocals - massively enjoy what the distortion adds to the black keys cover
