B.B. King – Someday, Somewhere – Performance and Review

This track was the A-side of one of at least four King singles released in 1952.

B.B. King – Someday, Somewhere

With the amount of material required to fulfill the RPM label’s requirements, King and his producers pulled material from wherever they could find it.

Although not credited, this was actually a cover of Lowell Fulson’s 1948 ‘Midnight Showers of Rain’ for the Downbeat label. The song was also recorded in 1952 by Willie Nix for Sun Records but went unreleased.

For reasons unknown, when the song was first released on LP, on a 1960 Crown LP, “The Great B. B. King” it was retitled ‘Someday Baby’.

Lyrics:
Don’t care when you go
How long you stay
But good kind treatments
Will bring you back someday
But someday baby
I ain’t gonna worry my life anymore
Aw, but one thing
Really give me the blues
When I wore a hole
In my last pair of shoes
But someday baby
I ain’t gonna worry my life anymore
Just keep on a-bettin’
About the

You’re gonna leave here runnin’
Almost too fast
But someday baby
I ain’t gonna worry my life anymore
Don’t like everybody
In my neighborhood
I got a no-good woman
She don’t mean me no good
But someday baby
I ain’t gonna worry my life anymore
