So basically this song was originally written by B.B. King in 1964 who borrowed the lyrics largely from "Rockin' and Rollin'" (1950) by Lil Son Jackson. The original was more a solo guitar song while King used a blues ensemble. ever since there have been a bunch of covers and interpretations of both in the blues style.
