    Albert Cummings (born Williamstown, Massachusetts, United States) is an American blues musician who has recorded under Blind Pig Records. He has played alongside B.B. King, Johnny Winter, and Buddy Guy.

           Cummings started playing the five-string banjo at the age of twelve when his father's guitar was too big for his hands, and started learning basic chords and progressions, and became a fan of bluegrass music. In his late teens he encountered the early recordings of Stevie Ray Vaughan and was floored by the virtuosity. While in college in 1987 he saw Vaughan perform and he returned to the guitar with a new outlook and resolve. His first public guitar performance came in 1997, when he played at his friends wedding reception. In his late twenties he formed a band, Swamp Yankee, and in 1999 released an independently produced album, The Long Way. The trio spent two hours in a recording studio to record the nine songs for the album.

Woman I want to ask you

Why you do that anyway

I thought things were fine

Just yesterday

 

Woman you've got to tell

Me what's going through your head

You know I can't spend one more night

Sleeping in this lonely bed

 

Now I lay here thinking

About what you did

I know it was wrong baby

But I'm ready to forget

 

Baby you got to tell me

What's going through your head

 

You know I can't spend one more night

Sleeping in this lonely bed

 

Tell me baby

What it's gonna be

You gonna come back home

Lord, and stay with me

 

Or I've got to

Get myself another woman instead

 

You know I can't spend one more night

Sleeping in this lonely bed.
