Who Do You Go To
Wanda Jackson · You'll Always Have My Love [1967]
(Who do you go to when you're gone from me?)
Who do you go to when you're gone from me
Who hears the sweet things you once said to me
Does she seem to understand what I'm too blind to see
Who do you go to when you're gone from me?
Who is this other woman that makes me walk the floor
That causes my sleepless nights because she offers more
Who do you hold near you where I once used to be
Who do you go to when you're gone from me?
--- Instrumental ---
Why are her arms more inviting, her lips the ones you kiss
Is she so much more exciting that you'd end our love like this
Oh, who do you hold near you where I once used to be
Who do you go to when you're gone from me?...
Who Do You Go To
Wanda Jackson's 1967 recording of 'Who Do You Go To' stands as a defining moment in the evolution of country rock and honky-tonk. As the 'Queen of Rockabilly,' Jackson infused this traditional country ballad with a driving, electric guitar rhythm that bridged the gap between rural roots and urban rock. The track exemplifies her signature style, blending the raw emotionalism of outlaw country with the swagger of the era's emerging rock scene. Released on the album 'You'll Always Have My Love,' the song showcases her powerful vocal delivery and her ability to reinterpret classic material for a modern audience. It remains a staple of her discography, capturing the spirit of the late 1960s where traditional instrumentation met new sonic textures.
