my bitter seed

Jimmy Reed

My mother told me, use my bitter seed
My mother told me, you the one I need
And that's why baby, honey, you misery
You've gone from rags to riches, silver to gold
When they made you they throw away the mold
She told me, use my bitter seed
And that's why baby, honey you misery
Baby, baby you the one I need
Baby, baby you just wait an'see
For you pretty baby, I'll swim the deep blue sea
