More quotes by Muddy Waters
All the kids made their own git-tars. Made mine out of a box and bit of stick for a neck. Couldn't do much with it, but that's how you learn.
Muddy Waters
At night in the country, you'd be surprised how that music carries. You could hear my guitar way before you get to the house, and you could hear the peoples hollerin' and screamin'.
Muddy Waters
That Mississippi sound, that Delta sound is in them old records. You can hear it all the way through.
Muddy Waters
I got up one Christmas morning and we didn't have nothing to eat. We didn't have an apple, we didn't have an orange, we didn't have a cake, we didn't have nothing.
Muddy Waters
China is to stock fraud as Silicon Valley is to technology.
Muddy Waters
He took my music, but he gave me my name.
Muddy Waters
Going to Chicago was like going out of the world.
Muddy Waters
Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues.
Muddy Waters
Memphis was almost like going to California. Beale Street was the black man's street.
Muddy Waters
You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can't you hear it in my voice?
Muddy Waters
I was always singing the way I felt, and maybe I didn't exactly know it, but I just didn't like the way things were down there-in Mississippi.
Muddy Waters
I rambled all the time. I was just like that, like a rollin' stone.
Muddy Waters
Theres no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, Im playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money.
Muddy Waters
I wanted to definitely be a musician or a good preacher or a heck of a baseball player. I couldn't play ball too good - I hurt my finger, and I stopped that. I couldn't preach, and well, all I had left was getting into the music thing.
Muddy Waters
I wanted to get out of Mississippi in the worst way. Go back? What I want to go back for?
Muddy Waters
Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich.
Muddy Waters
Ain't nobody's business, if I bark like a dog.
Muddy Waters
