Here’s Howlin’ Wolf’s song, “Do the Do.” Written by Willie Dixon, and originally recorded in May, 1970. It’s rhythm, rousing style, lyrics and Wolf’s performance are remarkable. Listen to it loud, and below the video are Willie’s lyrics.
Also check out Wolf and Clarksdale here, and come see his honorary sign in our historic downtown Arts & Culture District on Delta Avenue.
“Do the Do”
by Willie Dixon
Well I know
I’ve got a babe
And I know her
Love is true
But you ain’t seen nothing
‘Til you see her, see her
Do the do
Do the do
Shake her shoulder
Take her time
Mover her body
Like I move mine
When she’s dancing
You’ll love her too
When you see her
Do the do
Do the do
34 bust
22 waist
Everything
Right in place
Cool disposition
Love her too
When you see her
Do the do
Do the do
Well, well there
Ain’t nothing like
When you see her
Do the do
Do the do
Well I know
I’ve got a babe
And I know her
Love is true
But you ain’t seen nothing
‘Til you see her, see her
Do the do
Do the do
