Songfacts®:

  • Waters wrote this song, and although the melody is pleasant and even humorous, the story behind the lyrics tell of a man who's staying at the park to be away from his abusive wife. Hence the line, "Don't you bother my baby - No tellin' what she'll do - The girl she may cut you - She may shoot you too." >>

  • Waters recorded this song with fellow Blues legend Howlin' Wolf for the 1983 album Muddy & The Wolf.
