My sister, Amy, gave me the Eric Clapton Crossroads Anthology in the mid-80's. In the booklet that came with it, Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone Magazine did an in-depth interview with EC. In it, Clapton spoke of his love for Muddy Waters and the powerful influence Muddy had on him and his music. THAT'S how I discovered Muddy Waters and what the blues was really all about. I also perform and record with an Eric Clapton Signature Model Martin Guitar, the 00028EC. Thanks, Eric, and to my late great Sister, Amy Gerver!
LYRICS: Muddy Murky Blues ~ original acoustic lowdown blues song
E- Well I'm sittin' here in the mornin'
Only one thing on my mind
Muddy Waters is with me too
Like him, I can't be satisfied

Throw in A- a little Hoochie Coochie Man
And get my mojo workin' right
It's a E- rollin' stone kinda' day
A mannish boy is so sublime

B7- Early in the mornin'
A- 'Fore the sun comes out to play
McKinley E- Morganfield fires me up
In the B7- most intriguing way
------------------------------------------------
Can not have my cake
And eat it too
In these troubled times of agony
What's a poor old guy to do

Thank God for this guitar
And the strings that make it sing
And the will to write the songs
That make my friends stare at me

Can't complain too much really
I'm luckier than most
But I got this gnawing feeling
And It's haunting me like a ghost
-------------------------------------------------
Rabble rousin' comes too easy
So I tend to speak my brain
Don't wanna offend nobody
'Cause they got enough pain

I'll stick to makin' music
All day and through the night
Ain't gonna hurt no one
Muddy wouldn't think it right

So I want you to rock me, baby
Like my back ain't got no bone
Don't be standin' 'round cryin'
Baby please don't go
