What an outstanding performance from "Live at the Greek", October '99!

"Shake Your Moneymaker" or "Shake Your Money Maker" is a song recorded by the great Elmore James in 1961 that has become a blues standard. Inspired by earlier songs, it has been interpreted and recorded by several blues and other artists.

"Shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker

And then?

Shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker

And then?

I got a girl who lives up on the hill

I got a girl who lives up on the hill

Talk she gonna love me

But I don't believe she will

You got shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker, babe

You gotta shake your moneymaker

Shake your moneymaker

You gotta shake your moneymaker

And then?

I got a girl and she just won't be true

I got a girl and she just won't be true

She's locked to the bridge

She won't do a thing I tell her to do

She won't shake her moneymaker

Won't shake her moneymaker

She wanna roll her activator

She won't shake her moneymaker

She won't shake her moneymaker

She won't?"
