What is the name of the blues song that goes "squeeze my lemon 'till the juice runs down my leg"?


Does anybody know the name of the song that goes "squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg"?
It is NOT the Led Zeppelin cover. It is the original blues song. Im not sure who its by, it may or may not be Robert Johnson, im not sure. Anyone know? Thx

Actually, Robert likely borrowed the line in question from Arthur McKay's "She Squeezed My Lemon", also recorded in 1937, but released prior to Roberts recording session.

the first was 'Travelling Riverside Blues" by Robert Johnson in '36. Led Zep used the phrase in "The Lemon Song" in the early 70's

Catbone is right, except the small detail that the Robert Johnson tune was recorded in 1937, and the Led Zeppeling tune was released in 1969.

The great Willie Dixon.

It was released on Fleetwood Mac's Shrine'69 the name of the track is Lemon Squeezer.The Peter Green,Mick Fleetwood,John Mcvie,Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan period release date 21 June 1999 Catologue number-RCD10424.Unsure the early bluesman's release if found will show.....

Original:
"Traveling Riverside Blues" by Robert Johnson
Cover:
"The Lemon Song" by Led Zeppelin
