Great God Almighty, it was way,
way, way colder in Chicago than anybody told me
it was gonna be. Had I known
it was gonna be this cold I would've dressed like
an Eskimo and brought my sledge dogs. Drivin' up, I was thinking
about Mississippi River and Muddy Waters
and where he came from and all the different
blues' artists that had come from Chicago
and all the blues that dropped into
the Mississippi River and never made it into
anybody's ears. Never got saturated out
into the delta, you know? And where did they go? Maybe they
ended up in the Gulf of Mexico. A lot of the shellfish
singin' the blues. ♪ It was June or September ♪ Don't rightly remember
