John Mayall, The Bluesbreakers and Mick Taylor – Oh, Pretty Woman

John Mayall, The Bluesbreakers and Mick Taylor – Oh, Pretty Woman – Recorded From 70th Birthday Concert on 19th of July 2003.

This is how I like my Blues: no frills, just honest music!

Here are true masters at work. After 50 years of listening to rock and blues, Buddy proves himself as such a great player, matched by Mick, another master, which is incredible. That’s the video that led me to “Mists of Time,” one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Incredible version of this song! So much feeling, respect and musical listening between two awesome guitarists!

John Mayall – Vocals, Keyboards
Mick Taylor – Guitar

Lyrics:
Oh pretty woman, she’s the rising sun
Says all your cheap paint and powder ain’t gonna help you none
She’s a pretty woman right down to the bone
So you just might as well still leave your skin alone

Pretty woman
What’s the matter with you
Can’t make you love me, no matter what I do

Oh pretty woman, what you trying to do
You kept on foolin’ around till I got stuck on you
So you just drop that mess and come down off your throne
Stop using my poor heart as a stepping stone

Pretty woman
What’s the matter with you
Can’t make you love me, no matter what I do

Oh pretty woman, that’s all right for you
Now you just go on doing what you want to do
But someday when you thing you’ve got it made
You get in water deep enough so you can’t wade

Pretty woman
What’s the matter with you
Can’t make you love me, no matter what I do
