Из альбома: Me and Mr Johnson

(Robert Johnson)

Early this mornin', when you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin', ooh, when you knocked upon my door
And I said, "hello, satan, I believe it's time to go"

Me and the devil, was walkin' side by side
Me and the devil, ooh, was walkin' side by side
I'm goin' to beat my woman, until I get satisfied

She say you don't see why, that I will dog her 'round
[Spoken:] Now, baby, you know you ain't doin' me right, now
She say you don't see why, ooh, that I will dog her 'round
It must-a be that old evil spirit, so deep down in the ground

You may bury my body, down by the highway side

[Spoken:] Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone
You may bury my body, ooh, down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit, can get a Greyhound bus and ride

     Вот альбом, к которому я постоянно возвращаюсь.  На первый взгляд еще один очередной  "поклон" Роберту Джонсону.  Но зато какой.  Альбом Клэптона  Me And Mr. Johnson (2004) великолепен.  Все 14 композиций слушаются на одном дыхании.  Никаких избитых клише.  Гитара Клэптона, ритм-секция, клавишные и гармоника, все звучит превосходно...
