This week our host Jim Adams for Song Lyric Sunday has given us the prompt of Appearance, Image, Likeness, Object, Picture, Photograph.

The goal is to take the prompt and profile a song that has it part of its lyrics or title.

Please consider carving out time to read the posts of other bloggers who responded to the Song Lyric Sunday challenge.

I Want Your Picture

Chester Arthur Burnett was a giant in the world of the blues and was called “Howlin Wolf“. He was born in 1910 in White Station, Mississippi and was raised on the Young and Morrow Cotton Plantation near Ruleville. Ruleville had many artists get exposed to music at a place called “Greasy Street”

His grandfather would tell him and his siblings’ stories of the wolves in the area. Once, something frightened the young Chester and he ran howling upstairs, which prompted his family to dub him the Howlin’ Wolf.

Lyrics

Don’t she look pretty when she come walkin’ in the door
Don’t she look pretty when she come walkin’ in the door
Said I love you baby I want your picture to carry Chicago

I said I want your picture to wear around every day
“I’m gonna keep it in my pocket book darlin”
I want your picture to wear around every day
I will hang it up on the wall
Thinkin’ about you when you’re going away

Baby this picture is a thrill to me
Now baby this picture is a thrill to me
When you’re gone
“What you gonna do with it Wolf?”
Well hang it up on the wall
