King Albert Im Ready lyrics

This is a Muddy Waters Tune:

The first verse is:

I got an axe-handle pistol with a graveyard frame
shootin` tombstone bullets, wearin` ball and chain
I`m drinkin TNT, I`m smokin dynamite
I hope some schoolboy`ll start a fight......



I`m Ready
An old blues song; I`m not sure who wrote it, but this version is
performed by Albert King


I`m ready, ready as anybody can be
I`m ready, ready as anybody can be
Now I`m ready for you,
I hope you`re ready for me.

I got an axe-hounds face made on a graveyard frame
Shootin` tombstone bullets, wearin` ball and chain
I`m drinkin` TNT, smokin` dynamite
I hope some screwball...start a fight

I`m ready, ready as anybody can be
Now I`m ready for you,
I hope you`re ready for me.

All you pretty little chicks with your pretty little hair,
I know you think that I ain`t nowhere
But stop what your doin` an` look over here,
I`ll prove to ya, baby, that I ain`t no square

I`m ready, ready as anybody can be
Now I`m ready for you,
I hope you`re ready for me.

I been drinkin` gin like never before
I feel so good, babe, I want you to know
One more drink, and I wish you would
I takes a whole lotta lovin` to make me feel good, cause

I`m ready, ready as anybody can be
Now I`m ready for you,
I hope you`re ready for me.
