Here's a country tune, by a country lady who's done a few soul covers, including "If Loving You Is Wrong [[I Don't Want to Be Right)"..."One of a Kind Pair of Fools"--Barbara Mandrell

Best,

Mark

Dozens of Blues songs....but the first that comes to mind is:

Taildragger - Howling Wolf

I'm a tail dragger
I wipe out my track
When I get what I want
I don't come sneakin' back

The mighty wolf
Make it a midnight creep
The hunters
And they can't find him

Stealin' chicks
Everywhere he go
Then draggin' his tail
Behind him

I often wondered whether or not The storyteller from Marvin Gaye's "Where Ever I Lay My Hat" was supposed to be the deceased father to the storytellers on "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" especially since they reference the former track in the chorus.
