Guilty as Charged Lyrics

I could be goin'
On my merry way
It's my own damn fault
Am I fool enough to stay
Guilty as charged

You got me in your sight
Your pull is not as strong
But the devil
He's out tonight


Been years since I've seen you
You still lookin' fine
Walked out your car and
Makin' up for lost time

Guilty
Guilty as charged
You got me in your sight
But the devil
Is out tonight

If I had a lick o' sense
I'd get out while I can
Tell me what you want
And I'll put it in your hand
Honey, guilty
Guilty as charged

You got me in your sight
The devil is out tonight
Guilty
Guilty as I can feel
The devil was me
Come see about me, now
Shit

Yeah, she out tonight
What the hell wrong with me
Devil is out tonight

Buddy Guy (born George Guy, July 30, 1936 in Lettsworth, Louisiana) is an American blues music and rock music guitarist, as well as a singer. Known as an inspiration to Jimi Hendrix and other 1960s blues and rock legends, Guy is considered as an important proponent of Chicago blues made famous by Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. He has influenced both widely known and local blues guitarists.

Guy is known for his showmanship; for example, he plays with drumsticks and walks into the audience whilst playing, the latter being a gimmick he picked up from a local blues guitarist at an early age (joining or leaping into the audience has also long been common in both American popular and gospel music, as in the earlier work of Big Jay McNeely or the Dixie Hummingbirds).

Guy grew up in Louisiana where he learned to play guitar. In the early 1950s he began performing with bands in Baton Rouge. Soon after moving to Chicago in 1957, Guy fell under the influence of "Mighty" Muddy Waters. In 1958 he won a record contract with Artistic Records after beating the West Side guitarists Magic Sam and Otis Rush in a "Head Cutting Contest" at the Blue Flame Club. Soon afterwards he recorded for the Cobra label.

In the early 1960s, Guy was a session guitarist for Chess Records. He recorded on Junior Wells sessions for Delmark Records under the pseudonym Friendly Chap in 1965 and 1966. His career took off during a blues revival period in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and was sparked by Eric Clapton's request that Guy be part of the '24 nights' all-star blues guitar lineup at London's Royal Albert Hall and Guy's subsequent signing with Silvertone Records.
