Ron Thompson, He's My Main Man!

I Went On To Cincinnati. I Had Got A Taste Of The Big Cities And Them Bright Lights. I Stayed There Until I Was About 18 Or 19 And Then I Went On To Detroit.

I Don't Play A Lot Of Fancy Guitar. I Don't Want To Play It. The Kind Of Guitar I Want To Play Is Mean, Mean Licks.

It Don't Take Me No Three Days To Record No Album.

I Been Doing The Same Things As In My Younger Days, When I Was Coming Up, And Now Here I Am, An Old Man, Up There In The Charts. And I Say, Well, What Happened? Have They Just Thought Up The Real John Lee Hooker, Is That It? And I Think, Well, I Won't Tell Nobody Else! I Can't Help But Wonder What Happened.

I'm Even Afraid To Lay Down With You At Night, Because When You Go To Bed At Night, Mean Woman, You Got An Ice Pick In Your Hand.
