Oh Sweet Nuthin' by The Black Crowes

Saw the Black Crowes last Saturday in Atlanta,GA. I was there for some work related items and was fortunate to see some great gigs! The ticket to this show was already sold out, same with the Friday set they had. I tried the box office and confirmed my fear's that the show's already sold out. I went to get some snack and try to a ticket from the scalpers (it was too expensive). I tried the box office again... and they've already opened up a few slots! Wow!

This song was just exemplary. I haven't heard it before from them, but it was an instant hit for me. Chris Robinson and the bassist, Sven Pipien even sang "Hey Jude" when the end was near. The song, it seems, is a Velvet Underground original.

Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all
He knocked the shirt right of his back
He ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger Brown
He walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right off his feet
And threw the poor boy right out in the street

And this is what he said:
Oh, sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
Oh, sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all

Say a word for Polly May
She can't tell the night from the day
They threw her out in the street
Just like a cat she landed on her feet

And say a word for Joana Love
She ain't got nothing at all
With every day she falls in love
And every night she falls
And when she does she says:

Oh, sweet nuthin'
You know She ain't got nothing at all
[Woe, oh] sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
Oh, let me hear you

Oh, say a word, say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all, not a thing
And not a shirt, shirt on his back
No, he ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger
He walks with his head to the ground
He took the shoes, took the shoes from his feet, from his feet
And threw the poor boy out into the street
And then he said:

Oh, sweet sweet nuthin'
She ain't got, she ain't got, she ain't got nothing at all
Sweet sweet sweet sweet nuthin'
She ain't got
Sweet Sweet nothing ...
Oh, let me hear you

She ain't got nothing at all ...
