Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, Don't you call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all that a good girl need

Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs
But if you want me baby, you got to take your time
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girl need

And I ain't got no diamonds, I ain't got no gold
But I do have love to satisfy your soul
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all you good women need

I love Howlin' Wolf, but I also like the version of this song that Hoyt Axton did in the movie "Heart Like a Wheel". Check it out.

Marijuana maynot be addictive but it does seem to turn its aficionados into self-righteous prigs.

Living in Philadelphia in the early 70s, I missed my only chance to see Howling Wolf, which I still regret. The Germantown neighborhood then (maybe now?) was not an especially safe place to venture out at night, so I chose to play it safe. But there was no one like this dude.

Does everything have to be about weed with you?? Seriously man, I'm concerned. You should ask Bill where he rehabed at, it could probably help

Totally wrong. The reference was to Howlin' Wolf. See what happens when you jump to conclusions. Don't waste your concerns on me, Thanks.
