Little Willie John - My Nerves Lyrics

My Nerves 2:34

Little Willie John

(Henry Glover, Isaac Toombs)

Recorded Mar 1, 1956 King Single 4935

With Ernie Hayes-piano, Mickey Baker-guitar, Carl Pruitt-bass

David 'Panama' Francis-drums, Bill Graham-alto sax

Big John Greer & Lowell 'Count' Hastings-tenor sax

Danny Bank-baritone sax.






You hold my hand and I can't understand

My nerves, oh my nerves

One look from you and you don't know what you do

To my nerves, oh my nerves

Ooh, my nerves



You hold me tight and kiss me right

My nerves, oh my nerves

I get such a thrill it sends a chill

To my nerves, all my nerves



A-can't you see what you do to me

To have me feel this way?

I pat my feet and I clap my hands

And I snap my fingers all day



Whisper low that you love me so

My nerves, all my nerves

I should be bold when I lose control

Of my nerves, all my nerves



(Instrumental and saxs)



Like the sun shines in the sum-um-um-mer

Like the sun shines in the fall

I'll be there anytime a-you want me

All you gotta do is call



Call my name and you start that-a flame

In my nerves, all my nerves

When you're around, I can't hold 'em down

My nerves, all my nerves



One little squeeze and I just kind-a ease

My nerves, whoa my nerves!

I'm a total wreck, 'cause I just can't check

My nerves



Whoa! My Nerves!
