In his first appearance with Phish on 4/10/93, Sugar Blue lent his vocals and harp to this early ‘60s Sonny Boy Williamson song. Sugar has sat in with Phish on other occasions, always when the band is playing near his Chicago stomping grounds (see also 8/8/97 and 10/3/99), but this classic blues tune did not resurface at these subsequent collaborations.

You got to help me
I can't do it all by myself
You got to help me, baby
I can't do it all by myself
You know if you don't help me darling
I'll have to find myself somebody else
I may have to wash
I may have to sew
I may have to cook
I might mop the floor
But you help me babe
You know if you don't help me darling
I'll find myself somebody else
When I walk, walk with me
When I talk, you talk to me
Oh baby, I can't do it all by myself
You know if you don't help me darling
I'll have to find myself somebody else
Help me, help me darlin'
Bring my nightshirt
Put on your morning gown
Bring my nightshirt
Put on your morning gown
Darlin' I know we stripped bare
But I don't feel like lying down
