Written and recorded by Fenton Robinson as a single on the Palos label in 1967, this would be Robinson’s signature song.
Covered by Boz Scaggs in 1969, the song’s writing credits were misattributed to Scaggs and Robinson did not receive his due until later on.
In 1974, the song appeared on Robinson...
[Verse 1]
Somebody loan me a dime
I want to call my old time used to be
Somebody loan me a dime, I tell you
Mmm, I want to call my old time used to be
My woman been gone so long
And now begins to worrying me
[Chorus]
Oh I just cried, I just cried
I cried just like a baby, all night long
Oh I cried, and then I cried
I cried just like a baby, all night long
[Bridge]
Oh I need somebody here
I need somebody here in my home
[?]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
And now I know she's a good girl
But at that time I just didn't understand
Oh I know she's a good girl
But at that time I just didn't understand
[Outro]
Oh somebody loan me a dime yeah
Just to ease my worry in my heart
