I love this tune. Slim Harpo played guitar and harp and sang this, and wrote it. He was a big record selling musician in the 1940's and '50's, and his music had been covered by the Kinks (this song) the Stones (Hip Shake) and several others.
As with the Barbecue Bob song, this guitar part sounds simple till you try to get his timing right..He played the guitar and harp at the same time using a neck clamp for the harp.

One of the greats-Slim Harpo (James Moore, born in 1924.)
