Sonny Boy Williamson 'Your Funeral and My Trial'

Here's a treat - one of the true poets of the blues and harp virtuoso Sonny Boy. If you don't believe he was a real poet in the truest sense of the word check out the first few verses of the song on the clip

Please come home to your daddy, and explain yourself to me

Because I and you are man and wife, tryin' to start a family

I'm beggin' you baby, cut out that off the wall jive

If you can't treat me no better, it gotta be your funeral and my trial

When I and you first got together, 't was on one Friday night

We spent two lovely hours together, and the world it was allright

I'm just beggin' you baby, please cut out that off the wall jive

You know you gotta treat me better, if you don't it gotta be your funeral and my trial
