Lyrics: Willie Dixon
Music: Willie Dixon
Originally sung by Pigpen with the Grateful Dead in 1966, then revived by
Brent Mydland a couple of times in 1984, and finally played once by Jerry
Garcia in 1995.
This was Pigpen's 1966 version:
I don't want you to be no slaveThis is the version sung by Brent Mydland in 1984:
I don't want you to work every day
All I want you to be is true
I just wanna make love to you
Nobody but you
I don't wanna be [alone], I just wanna make love to you, yes I do
I don't want you to keep you indoors
I don't want you to walk my dog
Just one thing, babe, I want for you to do
Keep me making love to you
Nobody but you
I don't wanna be sad and blue, I just wanna make love to you, yes I do
I can tell by the way that you walk that walk
I can tell by the way that you talk that talk
I can tell by the way you treat your man
That I could love you till the [?]
I don't want you to bake my bread
I don't want you to make my little bed
I don't want you to be sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you
Nobody but you
I don't wanna be sad and blue, I just wanna make love to you, yes I do
Nobody but you
Nobody but you
Nobody but you, babe
Nobody but you now
Early in the morning
And late at night
Early in the evening
And awake all night
I just wanna make love to you
I don't want you to be no slaveThis was the fragment Jerry Garcia sang in 1995:
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want you 'cause I'm sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you, love to you, love to you
Wanna make love to you, love to you
I don't want you to wash my clothes
I don't want you to keep my home
I don't want you 'cause I'm sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
Wanna make love to you
I can tell by the way that you walk that walk
I can see by the way that you, baby, talk
I can know by the way you treat your man
That I could love you baby till the [?]
I don't want you to cook my bread
I don't want you to make my bed
I don't want you 'cause I'm sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you, love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I can tell by the way that you walk that walk
I can see by the way that you, baby, talk
I can know by the way you treat your man
That I could love you baby till the [?]
Love to you
Love to you
I don't want you to be no slaveThis is the original version by Willie Dixon:
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want you 'cause I'm sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you
Love to you, love to you
Love to you, love to you
Love to you, love to you
Love to you, love to you
I don't want you to [?]
I don't want you to [?]
I don't want you 'cause I'm sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you
Love to you, love to you
Love to you, love to you
Love to you, love to you
Love to you, love to you
I don't want you to be no slave
I don't want you to wake all day
I don't want to be true
I just want to make love to you
I don't want you to wash my clothes
I don't want you to keep on home
I don't want your money too
I just want to make love to you
Love to you
Love to you
Love to you
Love to you
I can tell by the way that you [switch] and walk
I can see by the way that you, baby, talk
I can know by the way you treat your man
That I could love you baby till the crying shame
I don't want you to cook my bread
I don't want you to make my bed
I don't want you because I'm sad and blue
I just want to make love to you
Love to you
Love to you
Love to you
Love to you
