Blues Lyrics: Charlie Musselwhite



This page contains lyrics to the following song(s):


Stingaree

Charlie Musselwhite is better known as a harp player, but this song is one of his few recorded guitar tunes. It's from the Alligator Records album "In My Time" (rec. 1993) and the Alligator Records 25th Anniversary Collection. A traditional acoustic blues played with feeling and great skill, and sung in Charlie's laid-back style.

My baby, she is a honey bee
My baby, she is a honey bee
Might not sting for you but she
Always buzzin' me

Man needs honey
Gets it when he could
Stingin' always
Feel so good

My baby, she is a honey bee
Might not sting for you but she
Always buzzin' me



What I like about a,
'Bout a honey bee
How she stings me
With her stingaree
Buzz me in the morning
While I'm layin' up
Keeps stingin' till we both
Have had enough

My baby, she is a honey bee
Might not sting for you but she
Always buzzin' me

I love that stingaree
I love that stingaree
She's my honey bee
I love that stingaree
I love that stingaree
She's my honey bee
I love that stingaree
'Cause she's so good to me
