Just To Be With You (1956) Songtext
von Muddy Waters

On a ship that′s made of paper,
Oh yeah, I will sail the seven seas.
Fight a shark with a toothpick,
Crawled home to you on my knees.
There ain't nothin′ baby I wouldn't do, sugar,
Oh yeah baby, just to bring you home with me.


I would rise up with the devil,
Oh yeah, I would breathe smoke and fire.
Or say were I on a tightrope,
Walk a canyon on a wire.
Just to kiss your sweet lips, honey,
Oh yeah baby you know you're my desire.

If a shark bought/bite off my leg,
Oh baby and the sea were turned to sand.
Turn my po′ self over darlin′
Crawl home to you on my hands.
There ain't nothin′ nothin' I wouldn′t do baby,
Oh yeah, oh yeah baby, just to be with you.


Give up all of my money,
Whoa, oh baby, I'd sleep right down on the floor.
Call my mother-in-law honey,
Whoa, oh I′d work for you 'til I got sore.
I would do anything for you baby,
Oh yeah, oh yeah, just to get you home once more.
