I'm gon' get up in the mornin',
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gon' get up in the mornin',
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin',
girlfriend, can't get my room

I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
If I can't find her in West Helena,
she must be in East Monroe I know

I don't want no woman,
wants every downtown man she meet
I don't want no woman,
wants every downtown man she meet
She's a no good doney,
they shouldn't 'low her on the street

I believe, I believe I'll go back home
I believe, I believe I'll go back home

You can mistreat me here, babe,
but you can't when I go home

And I'm gettin' up in the mornin',
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up in the mornin',
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin',
girlfriend, can't get my room

I'm 'on' call up Chiney,
see is my good gal over there
I'm 'on' call up Chiney,
see is my good gal over there
If I can't find her on Philippine's Island,
she must be in Ethiopia somewhere

His covers of Highway 61 just kick ass. Especially the live versions from the 1980s. 



I got hooked on playing slide by Johnny and Joe Walsh in the 70s. Moved from dime to penny to nickle to quarter on the turntable arm as I wore out the groves trying to capture even a smidgen of the technical prowness and soul that they laid down.

Was at that WinterLive show at the Swing in San Bernardino - 75 I think. Best show I've ever been to in over several hundred. That live album version of Hiwy61 has no equal for me.
RIP Johnny.

Okay, but wasn't Derek just a kid? 16, 17?
Derek's got it, it's just something different than what Johnny got.

My 90 minute Favorites listening set 
started off with the 1951 version of 
"Dust My Broom" by Elmore James.

Good way to end my listening session 
on this 60th anniversary cover.

Which I could play a D chord like that.

Saw him way back in '71 at the Va Beach Dome. He knew a bunch of other chords  and notes !

I liked Johnny Winter, but this hardly differs from the Elmore James version. In fact, it’s almost a direct copy. OL, but not especially outstanding

The replies crack me up.  The RP comment boards are a "safe space" as negative comments are surrounded by bees!
but you can't expect sarcasm to be detected with a blatant comment like that.  (Though I assume it was not to be taken seriously)

Great stuff.  Love JW.     Saw him live many times  (w Edgar, w Derringer, alone) Every show fantastic!

You see..

This is another one of them songs in which you want to walk (or strut) the way it sounds.   That would be cool.

What a guitarist! Watched him in documentary recently, a genuine down to earth guy, such a great loss.

Johnny is the shiz!!! 

Don't forget he comes from a musical family. His brother is Edgar Winter of the 70's hits Free Ride and Frankenstein fame.

(Sadly, was the shiz. RIP 16Jul14)

DANG, that was good!

Without knocking Johnny, "Dust My Broom" is such a fine tune that I have yet to hear a version I don't like, but I'm sure it gets massacred plenty.  That said, the original Elmore James version is the real deal and RP will be all the better after playing it, LOL.

I saw Winter in 1971, touring behind "Johnny Winter And Live."

It was a life-changing experience - my first rock show AND my first unsupervised trip out of town.

RIP Johnny.

I just found a vinyl copy of Johnny Winter And in perfect condition.  Pick that one up if you get a chance.  Rock album before the blues stuff.  I think Johnny was like 25 years old and everybody else was no older than 23 including Rick Derringer.  No over the top guitar antics just strait forward R&R buy future badd asses.

Muddy Waters, followed by Johnny Winter.  Sweet!  Only thing better would have been to follow it with JJ Cale  or Leon Russell to keep that good vibe going!  Please play some Okie music soon Bill!!

Let's update these lyrics:

I'm gon' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gon' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room

I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
If I can't find her in West Helena, she must be in East Monroe I know

I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
She's a no good doney, they shouldn't 'low her on the street

I believe, I believe I'll go back home

I believe, I believe I'll go back home

You can mistreat me here, babe, but you can't when I go home

And I'm gettin' up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room

I'm 'on' call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there
I'm 'on' call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there
If I can't find her on Philippine's Island, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere

I'd advise you to get yourself a new pair of ears. Only, I fear it would not serve as a remedy.

The slide part of the response sounds a lot like Elmore's style to me...

Not really relevant to ax killers like these, but the lyrics here don't match what he's singing.

Also called Mojo Boogie according to a best of collection I have.  Saw him here in Spain a few years back, he could no longer walk unaccompanied but his fingers could still pick.  Brilliant musician and just grateful to have seen him perfrom live.

If you helped create the "formula" it stands to reason you sound a little like it. Johnny was an early master of amped up electric blues. A lot of people copied him. A lot of people still do.
