(First line spoken by Jimmy Reed)

"Bright light n' big city"

Sings:
Bright light, big city, gone to my baby's head
Whoa, bright light, an big city, gone to my baby's head
I tried to tell the woman,
But she don't believe a word I said

It's all right, pretty baby
(Gonna) need my help someday
Whoa, it's all right, pretty baby
Gonna need my help someday
Ya' gonna wish you had a-listened
To some a-those things I said



Go ahead, pretty baby
A-honey, knock yourself out
Oh go ahead, pretty baby
Honey, knock yourself out
I still love ya baby
'Cause you don't know what it's all about

Bright light, a big city
They went to my baby's head
Oh, the bright light, the big city
They went to my baby's head
FADES-
I hope you remember
A-some of those things I said.
