The song was written by Willie Dixon. Muddy recorded it (with Willie- of course- and Little Walter blowing a down n dirty harp), then Etta James made it a little more famous. Foghat took a little from Muddy -especially the feel- a little from Etta and rocked it up. They did the song justice.
The lyrics are a bit messed up here. They're messed up in the same way all over the net. I've corrected lyrics (but not these) a few times on this site and they always get reset, so screw it. You want to know them, just listen to Muddy.
