DISGUSTED^©

Live 10 Nov 2006 version

I been lookin for my old man
I can't find him nowhere
I think I'll go Chicago
Look around over there

If I can't find him, hmmm
Go back on the river and sit right down
That man keep a worryin' poor me
I'm gonna jump overboard and drown

My man he come sit down
He come sit down right beside me
He said would be good mama
If you just come with me

And I go with my baby
What man like a woman with a sassy child
I won't have to ask him no questions
Man, because he knows the reason why

Tell me why Bruce, come on!
[Bruce guitar solo]

I feel so disgusted
I don't know what to do
I think I'll go uptown
Try to find me somethin' new

Meet a man with a Cadillac
Woah man, and plenty money too
I won't have to wake up early in the mornin'
'Cause I won't have nothin' in the world to do

During the fall 2006 European leg of The Seeger Sessions tour, Bruce Springsteen made a suprise guest appearance at Lucinda Williams' 10 Nov 2006 show at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK. He played guitar on a 2-songs set: DISGUSTED and JOY. Read article below.

From Backstreets.com, 11 Nov 2006:

For those at Lucinda Williams' London gig on Friday night, it was a Sweet Old World indeed, as her "special friend" Bruce Springsteen made an impromptu appearance. Some showgoers at Shepherd's Bush Empire might have suspected something was in the air, on this "night off" between Springsteen shows -- Nick Corr tells us of spotting Seeger Sessions players Frank Bruno, Charlie Giordano, and Curtis King in the bar before the show. But the crowd as a whole was clearly surprised -- and wildly excited -- as Springsteen came out with an orange/red Gibson for the final two songs of the main set, "Disgusted" and a stretched-out "Joy." Robert Baldock reports: "Bruce stayed mostly at the back of the stage, but stepped up for some typically coruscating guitar solos. He didn't take the microphone at any stage, but he looked like he was having a ball trading licks with Lucinda's guitarist Doug Pettibone. By way of introduction, Lucinda said that this was 'the best night of my life!' The audience seemed fairly chuffed too. He finished with a flourishing bow to Ms. Williams as he exited."
