If I mistreat you girl, I sure don't mean no harm.
If I mistreat you girl, I sure don't mean no harm.
Well, I'm a motherless child; I don't know right from wrong.
Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night?
Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night?
Well, you didn't come home till the sun was shining bright.
I had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled.
Had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled.
Well, he's had a lotta women, gonna let my ham bones burn.
Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done.
Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done.
Well, I give you my jelly, he ain't give you none.
And when you see two women, always running hand in hand.
When you see two women, always running hand in hand.
You can bet your bottom dollar, one got the other one's man.
Lord, I'm going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair.
I'm going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair.
And if the blues overtake me, gonna rock away from here.
Enjoy!
RIP Jamie Oldaker
The drumming is spot on!! Nice job Mr. Oldaker!
This song NEVER gets old !!!
His leads are great but he's such an amazing rhythm player he never misses a beat heat transitions seamlessly between using his fingers and using the slide
Duck Dunn on the bass guitar here. Always solid and in the pocket.
+brewer9565 RIP...it's great to know that Duck, Mr. Fabulous, and Joliet Jake are making some GREAT music up "there"...
@@jimmyriter2556 And Matt "Guitar" Murphy
Duck really seems thrilled to be playing with Eric.
God bless EC
He makes it look easy. Amazing player.
I can relate. I’m now 63 and my mother left when I was 14. Shit happens.
Jefferey Blagus- me, nearly fifty and left for adoption at birth. haven't gotten my evil plan for revenge on humanity done yet. lol! but my thoughts do get dark every day. Never got normal.
There’s something to when you think of all the great guitarists from his era and really only a handful ALSO sang . Not necessarily great singers but it’s extra
I love that bass player from the 70's and 80's . I hope he got therapy after playing with Clapton for so long. :) Bless you,
Keith Richards tlis this from THE Keith Richards? Irony to the max.
Donald "Duck" Dunn, bass player par excellent. Formerly of Booker T & the MGs and the Blues Brothers band. RIP
Temazo👏💪❤🇨🇱
What a performance!

Hendrix, Clapton and Van Halen. There are other greats but they're the big 3, in my book.
my fav ec band...Murphy Levy Stainton Dunn Oldaker and Renwick
Great backing vocals by Shaun Murphy.

@Jaden Jayson Glad I could help xD
Old 'slowhand is one of the greatest musicians ever .God bless Eric Clapton.Opps..actually I think he did _Eric xxxxx
This is a very old song; Blind Willie Johnson 1927. Not a bad cover.
Stevie Ray DeFoe Or "theme song of Simon and Simon" TV from the eighties. 😋The original song is much older than 1927. This is "traditional", going back before to a time songs could even be copyrighted. So 'cover' ain't exactly the right term.
Those six months after she gave birth to me probably heaven for me after that heaven was taken away from me 25th of July , love you ma my gratitude for bearing the pain in giving birth to me crossed 50 life is hard very hard love you
Sweet! 🐕
The drummer just keeps speedin' up and up bet Clapton had something to say about it.
Yeah, FASTER!
He sure does! And that hair!
That's the late Jamie Oldaker back on the drums.
かっこよすぎるぜベイビー笑
to me the drummer is one split second ahead of everyone else
The band needs to hang. They're not riding the groove. They're pushing. The drummer is struggling to keep ahead of the groove. I hate to say it, but Duck is racing the bass.
Oldaker and Dunn - Monsters
They are indeed!
Page used the same color Strat with The Firm !
Only one issue here. The posted lyrics are from Motherless Child. The song performed here is Motherless Children. Two different songs by Clapton.
Originally from 461 Ocean Boulevard (1974)
Clapton's playing a little "amped" up if you know what I mean. Ah, the innocence of the early 80s.
+Nostradamus L (srvfan4ever) I do know what you mean...but how do you know? Just because it's the 80s?? Good call "Nostradamus"...literally and figuratively! LMAO!
Clapton has been very forthcoming about his use of heroin and cocaine. Talking about it is something that many addicts find useful.
These lyrics are from the song "Motherless Child" not "Motherless Children". "Motherless Children" first appeared on the EC album "461 Ocean Blvd."
I’m wondering if he even looked at the lyrics before posting the video
The slide phase
unico Slowhand
I also adore him. I am very sad because Eric has retired and will do more concerts. At the end of the year will publish a movie of his life.
It is fitting that devote his time to his family.
Wrong lyrics in the description!
Lyrics in description are from Motherless Child, not Morherless Children.
Is that Chad Wackerman on drums? Looks like Zappa's old drummer.
wtf is going on with drummers timing
What opening tuning is E.C. using? I appreciate the help!!
+lairbag99 I don't think he is in an alternate tuning, just staying within the two "chords" afforded by standard tuning--strings 2, 3, and 4, and strings 1 and 2.
I think its tuned to open A
lairbag99 open A. E A E A C# E
Like this. But the version from San Diego from 2007 is much better and so is the version from Japan in 2009. This version seems to speed up as it goes along too haha
jamie bawn Agreed. I’ve got the San Diego album which is excellent apart from an endless version of Queen of Spades
Ok,someone will know..Who is the gent playing back up guitar(rhythm)..Hav seen him in a few video's with different bands,other than eric..Thanks for the info if someone knows
Tim Renwick
@@PDSOTMF Thanks so much..Cheers
stevie ray
Not necessarily the news.
Don't get much bettah than that...
I'm pretty sure that that is Carl Radle on bass and not Donald "Duck" Dunn. Just sayin'.
It's Duck Dunn
roconnor01 and Christopher Kimmell, You are both right and I am wrong. I stand corrected. Thank you for doing it in a civilized manner.
I read his Bio but I never really heard why Eric gave up on playing slide.
because when you vibrate or bend the strings, it creates the same effect
It was a phase.. 🤣😎
how??? how this is a cabaret???
It was a long time ago but I hope Eric fired that drummer after that 100 yard dash through this song. Meter? what meter!!!!
I'd put it down to touring fatigue the whole track is a bit out of step with itself and the sound engineering was not quite like the album. It's so hard to get it right on the night.
I love that bass player from the 70's and 80's . I hope he got therapy after playing with Clapton for so long. :) Bless you,
TheFacelessMen- or we can make it an 80s joke about cocaine: yeah, let's go for the coke joke.
The pretty lady in the back playing the cymbal and singing is herself a great musician. She played drums with Prince. Forget her name.
Sheila E.?
I think that Marcy Levy was and is one hot mamma.
She's the reason I came here. Lol Great harmony singer!!
She must have found the fountain of youth - still sounds and looks great!
Dude you kinda pooped the bed in your lyrics section.
Eric's lost years. Valium, Alcohol, Cocaine - it's a wonder that he survived. And knowing the potential of this band, the result is quite poor
These weren't Eric's lost years this was 85 he wasn't taking drugs and was either winding down on it or had stopped altog st this point he was pretty clean. He never took much valium or coke either, it was heroin and alcohol
Eric was generally good at acknowledging (Black) song authors unlike others such as (cough) Led Zeppelin so it may be that his treatment of this as trad rather than as by Blind Willie Johnson is right? Others more knowlegeable? Meanwhile nice slide work
Too fast tempo I'm
These lyrics are from the song "Motherless Child" not "Motherless Children". "Motherless Children" first appeared on the EC album "461 Ocean Blvd."
Exactly.
