This is that thing ah... That I recorded with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin out at the Filmore West Blues at Sunrise, yeah You remember how we used to settle down when we get tired of jumpin' 'em up and down at the club. We'd settle down, reach down and get 'em one from the bottom.
Now see you got to play the Jimi Hendrix thing, 'cause he was in this too.
The sunrise in the East lover It set deeply in the west
Yeah, The sunrise in the East It set deeply in the west I been lookin' for my lover and I haven't found her yet
I'm gonna call up China and see if my woman's over there Well, I'm gonna call up China and see if my woman's over there
You I've searched the whole world over, I can't find my lover no where.
At the Filmore West, I looked around one night I saw a guy looked just like you, I said, "I know that ain't Stevie done eased in there." About that time Jimi said, "Let's play some blues" I said okay, not without the Queen though - that's Janis. We sent a guy out to get Janis, she came down with her little glass. She always had a little glass, God rest her soul. She said, "What's happenin'?" I said, "we gonna do some blues, and we want you to start it off, honey." She said, "Cool!" and Jimi hit a two or three more licks, on the thing there, Do it again, I like that.
