Today is a “G” day. Actually, yesterday was, but it was also my 93rd birthday and I was feeling too tired and feeble to post. The artist for the day is one of my faves, Buddy Guy; the album is “Sweet Tea.” And it’s oh so apropos because the first song is Junior Kimbrough’s “Done Got Old.” Just an acoustic guitar and Buddy’s, I mean Mr. Guy’s voice. The rest of this album is slamming, with some unexpected production values that make it all the more hea-vay. It’s almost like Rage/Audioslave is playing backup. Awesome.
Well I done got old
Can’t do the things I used to do
‘Cause I’ma ol-old ma-anWell I done got old
Well I done got old
I can’t do the things I used to do
‘Cause I done got oldRemember the day baby
Done past and gone
That I could love you
Most all night long
But now things have changed
An’ I done got old
I can’t do the things I used to do
‘Cause I’m an o-old manI can’t look, like used to
I can’t walk, like used to
I can’t lu-uv, like used to
An’ now things done changed
An’ I done got old
I can’t do the things I used to do
Because I’ma o-old manI’ma o-old man
I’ma o-old man
I’ma o-old man
An’ I’m not the same
I’m a very old man
