( Willie Dixon )


Well I'm ready... ready as anybody can be
I am ready... a ready as anybody can be
I'm ready for you
I hope you ready for me


Got an out of town pistol with the graveyard frame
It shoots tombstone bullets... wit da ball and chain
I'm drinkin' TNT... and smokin' dynamite
I hope some schoolboy pick a fight
'Cause I'm ready... ready as anybody can be
Well I'm ready for you... I hope you ready for me


Now listen...


All you pretty little chicks with'chor curly hair
Know you feel like I ain't nowhere
But stop what'chor doin' honey... come over here
I'll prove it to ya baby that I ain't no square
'Cause I'm ready... ready as anybody can be
Now I'm ready for you... I hope you ready for me


Look out...
Look out...


Well I been drinkin' gin like never before
I'm feelin' so good... honey that's for sure
One more drink... honey I wish you would
Take a whole lotta lovin' to make me feel good
'Cause I'm ready... ready as anybody can be
Well I'm ready for you... I hope you ready for...
A ready for...
A ready for...


Well I'm ready for...


Oh baby...
You know I'm ready for you
