Since I Met You Baby (With Gary Moore)

B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. King

I used to wake up in the morning with an aching head.

I couldn't remember anything I'd said.

My friends told me I was getting out of line.

If it wasn't for you baby, I'd be doing time.



Since I met you baby,

You've made a new man of me.

Since I met you baby,

I'm happy as a man could be.

Yes I am.



I used to think I was better than the rest.

Ain't no doubt about it, I was no second best.

Didn't seem to matter what was right or what was wrong.

I did some crazy things before you came along.

Since I met you baby,

You've made a new man of me.



Since I met you baby,

I'm happy as a man could be.

Yes, I am.



Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby,

I'm happy as a man could be.

One more time!



Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Since I met you baby.

Well, since I met you baby,

I'm happy as a man could be.

Yes, I am.



Happy as a man can be.

You tell 'em Gary!

Yeah!

Since I Met You Baby (With Gary Moore)

King's collaboration with Gary Moore on 'Since I Met You Baby' represents a pivotal moment in blues history, blending the Delta blues master's signature slide guitar technique with Moore's soaring rock energy. Recorded during the late 1970s, this track exemplifies the cross-genre fusion that defined the era, merging traditional blues phrasing with the hard-rock intensity Moore brought to his career. The song stands as a testament to King's ability to adapt his sound while maintaining his authentic voice, creating a bridge between the roots of the blues and the emerging rock landscape. Its enduring appeal lies in the interplay between King's emotive vocals and Moore's melodic guitar work, making it a standout track in both artists' discographies.
