Dedication Songtext
von Bobby Rush

I′m set in the studio in southern part of Mississippi
Trying to record a record
And what sitting on my mind right now, is that
My good friends, who've passed and gone
Like Muddy Waters, Howlin′ Wolf, and many others
But particularly, harmonica players
Like, who I got my group from
Little Water, my good friend Jr. Whales, Jr. Parker
So many I could name, but
Right now I dedicate this few minutes to my friends

You serve me right, this supper
Serve me right to be alone
You know you serve me right this supper
Serve me right to be alone
I had a good woman
But I drove my woman away from home


She begged me to do right
Will I listen to a word she said?
She begged me to do right
But I didn't listen to a word she said

Now my baby gone away and left me
And I think I'm goin′ out again
If I only did the little girl right
She would be right here by my side today
If I had done that little girl right
She would be right here by my side today

You know, it′s my own fault, baby
That I drove my little girl away
That's why I say, "serve me right this supper"
Serve me right to be alone

You know you serve me right this supper
You serve me right to be alone
I′m sorry baby
I'm sorry that I drove my little girl away from home

That′s for all my friends
