I'm Shakin' Lyrics - Singles - Little Willie John

I'm Shakin' 2:20 

Little Willie John 

(Isaac Toombs) 

King Single #5342 Recorded in Cincinnati, Dec 23, 1959 

With Edwin Conley electric bass, Edison Gore-drums 

Unk. string bass and unlisted sax! 

Intro: Instrumental & sax 

When ya touch my hand 

An' talk sweet talk 

I got a knockin' in my knees 

And a wobble in my walk 

I'm tremblin' 

And I'm shakin' 

A-when ya take me in your arms 

To talk romance 

My heart starts doin' the St. Vitas dance 

An' I'm pantin' 

An' I'm shakin' 

Early in the mornin' time 

Late in the middle of the night 

Whenever this chill comes over me 

I wanna hug you with all-a my might, ay-ay 

An' I'm sweatin' 

An' I'm shakin' 

A chill an a fever 

So I've been told 

Makes your head spin around 

An' your feet run cold 

I got fever 

An' I'm shakin' 

Feel like I been run through the mill 

I can't move around an' I can't stand still 

I'm so jittery 

An' I'm shakin' 

Samson was a mighty good man 

Strongest in his day 

Then along came Delilah an' clipped his wig 

An' it looks like you took me 

The same old way 

So, I'm 'noy-vous' 

An' I'm shakin' 

Well, a storm rocks a ship on a sea 

The wind shakes the leaves on a tree 

I'm like a nervous wreck 

I'm all shook up 

And that's what you are doin' to me 

'Cause I'm jumpin' 

An' I'm shakin' 

An' I'm jumpin' 

An' I'm shakin' 

Sha-aaaa-kin' 

Shakin', shakin', shakin' 

Shakin', um-mmm-mmm 

I'm shakin' 

FADES- 

Shakin' 

Shakin' 

I'm shakin'
