This song reminds me of those dirty blues songs that your parents played ONLY when you were outside playing

It's as naughty as anything by Marvin Sease and Millie Jackson.

"Down Home Blues" by Z.Z. Hill? I'm surprised that someone else on this site remembers that song!

Does anyone else in the DC area listen to the Blues shows on Saturdays on WPFW (89.9)? They play all this stuff ("Down home blues", "Black drawers", "Poontang man", etc...). Maybe it's on streaming audio as well.

I still like to listen to that tape from time to time.

I definately remember Z.Z. Hill. He was on Malaco Records which is in my hometown.

Oh yeah, LOVE J Blackfoot!
As for Clarence Carter, I've seen him a few times opening for Bobby Blue Bland and BB King. Gotta say, he IS pretty nasty, but it's kinda comical, too. I think for the most part,though, I can kinda pass on him!

I like that one too. Do you remember when J. Blackfoot was in a group called The Soul Children? They had a song called "The Sweeter He Is".

"Even though it might hurt me,I just can't be your fool
I'd rather step on my own heart and break it,then to be used"


I didn't know there were so many blues fans on this site!

this song has the best lyrics haha


Strokin'




When I start makin´ love
I don´t just make love...
I be strokin´
That´s what I be doin´, huh
I be strokin´

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
I be strokin´

Let me ask you somethin´...
What time of the day do you like to make love
Have you ever made love just before breakfast
Have you ever made love while you watched the late, late show
Well, let me ask you this
Have you ever made love on a couch
Well, let me ask you this
Have you ever made love on the back seat of a car
I remember one time I made love on the back seat of a car
And the police came and shined his light on me, and I said:
´I´m strokin´, that´s what I´m doin´, I be strokin´´

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
I be strokin´

Let me ask you something...
How long has it been since you made love, huh?
Did you make love yesterday
Did you make love last week
Did you make love last year
Or maybe it might be that you plannin´ on makin´ love tonight
But just remember, when you start making love
You make it hard, long, soft, short
And be strokin´
I be strokin´

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh
I be strokin´

Now when I start making love to my woman
I don´t stop until I know she´s sas-ified
And I can always tell when she gets sas-ified
´Cause when she gets sas-fied she start calling my name
She´d say: ´Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter
Clarence Carter, ooooh shit, Clarence Carter´
The other night I was strokin´ my woman
And it got so good to her, you know what she told me
Let me tell you what she told me, she said:
´Stroke it Clarence Carter, but don´t stroke so fast
If my stuff ain´t tight enough, you can stick it up my...´ WOO!

I be strokin´ Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I be strokin´

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh
I be strokin´
I be strokin´ Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I be strokin´, Yeah!
I be strokin´

I stroke it to the north
I stroke it to the south
I stroke it everywhere
I even stroke it with my... WOO!

I be strokin´
I be strokin´ Ha! Ha!
I be strokin´

There's a really good blues show that me and my family listen to every Sunday afternoon called "Nothin' But The Blues" and it's on K-JAZZ (KKJZ) 88.1 FM in Los Angeles. I've been listening to it for years. It really turned me on to appreciating the blues.

Yup, I do remember this song, it's a good one.

"Cheatin in the Next Room" is another good song.

Clarence Carter
Bobby Blue Bland
B.B.King

MLK weekend, 2005, in DC
