GEORGE THOROGOOD "Bad To The Bone"

"Bad To The Bone"
Lyrics
"On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
And she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I broke a thousand hearts
Before I met you
I'll break a thousand more, baby
Before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I make a rich woman beg
I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush
And make a young girl squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm…"

This is the first time I’ve been able to associate the singer with this song. I liked the tune, but I had no idea who the singer or group was.

That’s awesome. Went to Ground Zero in Clarksdale a bunch of times when I lived in Memphis. My favorite time to go was on a Saturday afternoon. A lot of times the band/group/singer would be practicing or setting up. The food was great and beer was cold. Still have my t-shirt. The Delta Blues Museum is catty-corner across the parking lot from Ground Zero and is definitely worth the visit.

That’s my ’99 Road King on the left in the parking lot!
