Song Lyric Sunday – The Same Thing

Posted byChristine BoltonPosted inBlog, Song Lyric SundayTags:, , ,

This week Song Lyric Sunday host, Jim Adams, has prompted us with ‘Same and Different’ I decided to go with ‘The Same Thing’ performed here by the Allman Brothers because I really like their version of the song. I hope you enjoy it.

The song was written by Willie Dixon in 1964. He was a Chicago blues artist, perhaps best known for his songwriting. He wrote or co-wrote over 500 songs and his work has been recorded by some of the best-known blues musicians of his era, including Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Little Walter. Later, some of his songs were popularized by rock groups, such as the Rolling Stones, Cream, The Band, Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers and Led Zeppelin. Musicians in several genres have interpreted Dixon’s songs.

make a man go crazy, a woman wear her dress so tight
make a man go crazy, a woman wear her dress so tight
must be the same thing make a tom cat fight all night.
make you feel so good when your baby get her evening gown
make you feel so good when your baby get her evening gown
must be the same thing make a preacher lay his bible down.
woah that same thing,
woah that same thing,
tell me who is to blame,
whole world fighting about that same thing.
what makes all these men chase a big leg woman down,
what makes all these men chase a big leg woman down,
must be the same thing make a poor dog a hurtin' hound.
woah that same thing,
woah that same thing,
tell me who is to blame,
whole world fighting about that same thing.
oh that same thing,
woah that same thing,
tell me who is to blame,
whole world fighting about that same thing.

  1. I’m dancing here at the midnight hour listening to this, Christine. Sounds so good. Double lead guitars and the lead singer’s voice wow.

    1. Thanks Lisa. I love the Allman Brothers. They were very big here in FL and Dickie Betts was a local. ☺️

      1. So cool to know about Dickie Betts. Is he the guy singing or the guy on the guitar? Other than the Allmans themselves not sure what the other band members look like. Was that one of the Allmans on keyboards (they never showed a closeup) and I know one of them was gone by this time.

      2. Dickie Betts is the great guitarist with cowboy hat. Yes Duane went first so it would have been Gregg still there. I couldn’t quite see either 😕

  6. The Grateful Dead did this song with Pigpen singing. I experienced this in Brazil being driven crazy by the girls who wore these skin tight leather pants and shaking their stuff. Great song Christine.
