 Chester Arthur Burnett (June 10, 1910 – January 10, 1976), better known by his stage name Howlin' Wolf, was an American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player.

         Recorded at The Village Recorder,West Los Angeles California 2-5 November 1973.

 Nobody  'Cept You

 Nothing 'round here to me that's sacred
'Cept you, yeah you
There's nothing round here to me that matters
'Cept you, yeah you
You're the one that reaches me
You're the one that I admire
Every time we meet together
I feel like I'm on fire
Nothing matters to me
And there's nothing I desire
'Cept you, yeah you


Nothing 'round here I care to try for
'Cept you, yeah you
Got nothing here to live or die for
'Cept you, yeah you
There's a hymn I used to hear
In the churches all the time
Make me feel so good inside
So peaceful, so sublime
And there's nothing that reminds me of that
Old familiar chime
Except you, uh huh you

Used to run in the cemetery
Dance and run and sing when I was a child
And it never seemed strange
Now I just pass mournfully
By that place where the bones of life are piled
I know somethin' has changed

I'm a stranger here and no one sees me
'Cept you, yeah you
Nothing anymore seems to please me
'Cept you, yeah you
Nothing hypnotizes me
Or holds me in a spell
Everything runs by me
Just like water from a well
Everybody wants my attention
Everybody got something to sell
'Cept you, yeah you
I'm in love with you.

More Bob
