Famous Blues Covers

White, Hot and Blue is a 1978 album by Johnny Winter. Following on from the previous year's Nothin' but the Blues, it again focuses on blues music. Last Night is probably the best song included.

Last Night was originally written and recorded by the great Little Walter.

"Last night I lost the best friend I ever had

Last night, last night I lost the best friend I ever had

Oh you're gone, you're gone and left me, that make me feel so bad

(Make me feel bad, baby)

Now it's early in the morning and my love is comin' down for you

(Come on down)

Early in the morning and my love is coming down for you

I, I want you to tell me baby, woman what are we gonna do

Gonna wait for tomorrow, they tell me every day bring 'bout a change

Gotta wait for tomorrow, tell me every day bring 'bout a change

(Yeah)

I love you baby, don't you know that's a cryin' shame"
