Thank Me Someday Lyrics - Living Proof - Buddy Guy

Down in Louisiana 

On a cotton plantation 

Little tent room shack 

And a third grade education 

Two stringed wood guitar 

I taught myself how to play, yes, I did 

Kept the whole family up all night 

And I told them that you'll all thank me one day 

Yes, I did 

My sister would scream 

"Boy, you just got to stop 

You're waking up the whole family 

Everybody is going to be hot"

Two stringed wood guitar 

And I sure enough taught myself how to play 

She said, "Turn it down, Buddy" 

I said, "Shut up, you're gonna thank me someday" 

You're gonna thank me one day 

Did you hear what I said? 

That was sixty years ago 

Now my mom and dad is gone 

I go see my sisters and brothers 

And the grand-kids come along 

I give the little ones my guitar 

I tell 'em, "Close your eyes and play 

Don't even worry about the neighbors 

Y'all gonna thank me someday"

On a cotton plantation 

A little tent room shack 

And I only got a third grade education

That's why I taught myself 

I'm telling you that's why I taught myself 

How to play, yes, I did 

I kept my family up all night 

And now they're thanking me everyday 

Oh yeah, they're thanking me everyday
