That's a good one -- Ray Charles did a nice version as a duet with ...
who was it? -- but I was thinking more of Bob Dylan:
"Ain't it hard to stumble and fall in some muddy lagoon,
especially when it's Nine Below Zero and three o'clock in the
afternoon ..."
who presumably got it from Sonny Boy Williamson:
" People, ain't it a pity, ain't it a crying shame:
she waited til it got Nine Below Zero, then put me down for another man."
Give me a muddy lagoon any day. That woman was *hard.*
