adommeforyou, good guess, but no. The song is about a hooker. Lady Madonna is a hooker (and mother who is trying to make ends meet). Her johns in the song are referenced by the days of the week that they normally arrive on. mistoferin - lol, you get bonus points for knowing who Charley Patton is ;) But no, the person who first sang about it was Tommy Johnson. He is later fictionalised in the film O Brother Where Art Thou, but a true life blues musician he was. Another 'known' song of his is Canned Heat Blues. Okay, here is one that I don't know the answer for, but it has been plaguing me. In the Doors song "LA Woman" what the heck is Jim singing in the first line????? fergus
