Lyrics:

Now what you gonna do
When I leave and turn my back on you?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do
When I leave and turn my back on you?
You'll be standing around, screamin' and cryin'

But there ain't a thing that you can do
You walk on around in a day just about to go out of
Your head you walk on around in a day (daze?)
Just about to go out of your head
You might even began to wonder wonder
If you would be better off dead
I treated you so kind better than any man should

No matter what I do for you it still didn't do me no good
What you gonna do? What you gonna do
When I leave and turn my back on you?
You'll be standing around, screamin' and cryin'

But there ain't a damn thing that you can do
I went out and work all day
You stayed home and beg
Bring you all my money but you still talk out of your head

What you gonna do? What you gonna do
When I leave and turn my back on you?
You'll be standing around screamin
cryin, cryin, cryin
cryin, cryin, cryin
cryin cryin, cryin
cryin, cryin

EB Davis was born in 1945 in the Delta town of Elaine, Arkansas and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. In the sixties he moved to New York where he spend many years performing before moving to Germany.

My first exposure to music was gospel also, because that was the only thing allowed in the home. When I was six or seven years old, I was walking home from school and there was an old guy, Jim Hunt, sitting on his front porch and he was playing a big acoustic guitar. I had never seen a guitar so big and I was amazed at the sound of his guitar, so I just went across the road there to have a look. I had never heard this kind of music before , and the way he was playing and the way he was singing. I was just totally fascinated. I asked my mother what kind of music was he playing and she told me I shouldn’t go back over there anymore. so I started to sneak over there without my family knowing it. I just fell in love with that music.

When EB was about fourteen, he left Arkansas and the ‘country-life’ behind and moved to Memphis, which at that time was truly the home of the #Blues.

In Memphis I lived only for the weekends - hanging out on Beale Street and at the weekly Jam Sessions in Handy Park, listening to all the great #bluesmen like Bobby Bland, B.B. King, Junior Parker, Albert King …! From the masters I learned the main ingredients: Work hard and sound good, entertain and look good. The audience paid their hard earned money to see you.

EB and the ‘Soulgroovers’ soon became one of the most important touring bands of the soul and #blues era. Regularly touring with and supporting people like Rufus Thomas, Wilson Pickett, Isaac Hayes, Ray Charles and B.B. King. Members of the band later becoming part of James Brown’s JBs and the Isaac Hayes Movement.After the band break up, EB started singing with ‘The Drifters’ and worked with them in Europe for the first time.

EB Davis has more than 19 recordings to his name and can be heard on numerous other recordings as a guest; a career of more than 7000 concerts in more as 60 different countries. He has been invited to give lectures and seminars on the history of the #blues and is the only #bluesman to appear at the Posnan- (Poland) and Bratislava- (Slovakia) State Opera Houses.

He has appeared in five movies to which he contributed songs to the soundtrack including ‘The Innocent’ with Anthony Hopkins and his music has been covered by other artists such as the great Guitar Crusher and Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones. EB is a yearly hit at many of the major festivals of Europe and America, where he recently played the King Biscuit #Blues Festival in Helena, Arkansas.

In 2008 EB Davis was inducted into the #Blues Hall of fame as an official #Blues Ambassador to the state of Arkansas. He was also in 2008 voted by The Deutsche Rock music Verein as the best R&B singer in Europe. In the same year he was invited by The 52-piece Jobst Liebrecht classical orchestra to headline the classical open-air festival in Hellersdorf Germany.
