Last night I was at my local club listening to one of the local blues heroes, Dave Speight (a long time member of the Leeds [Yorkshire UK] Blues Mafia that included Brendan Croker, Steve Phillips and Mark Knopfler). He played two storming sets and in the second one came a song I'd not heard him do before, despite having known him for years. It was called Working Man's Blues but was not the John Estes song of that title. It had a guitar part not unlike Blind Willie McTell's Statesboro Blues (though on 6-string) and included a verse which went (approximately):
A working man ain't nothin' but a married woman's slave [x2]
Get her in bed at night and she won't behave.
Being a right eejit I forgot to ask Dave about the song after the gig - can any weenies help? Who recorded it? Anyone know the full lyrics? I know it's not much to go on, but nothing has defeated the Weenies yet. In fact you are inweencible
Cheerily,
Gerry C
