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.

Lyrics:

(Dixon, Williamson)

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
