The song was performed by a supergroup consisting of Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, and Little Walter on Super Blues in 1967.

The song has also been recorded by Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, the Grateful Dead, Buddy Guy, Mungo Jerry, The Kinks, Shadows of Knight, Robben Ford, Van Morrison, Lou Rawls, The Righteous Brothers, The Yardbirds, The Animals, Janis Siegel, Meat Puppets, Cold Blood, April Wine, Louise Hoffsten, Foghat, Lee Aaron, Saxon, Nanette Workman, Smith, James Blood Ulmer, Livin' Blues, Lloyd Spiegel, Junior Wells, Memphis Slim, Bo Diddley, Johnny Otis, Paul Rodgers, Ross/Wollner's Inner City, The New Orleans Radiators, W.C.Spencer, Medicine Mike, Eddy Clearwater, Stone, Thornetta Davis, Geoff Achison, Louise Hoffsten, Cash McCall, Corey Osborn, Radio Moscow, Chocolate Watchband, and Cold Blood/Lydia Pense.

The Bob Dylan song 'My Wife's Home Town', from the 2009 album Together Through Life, is heavily influenced musically by the song, and the album notes give credit to Willie Dixon. The song's lyrics however are entirely different.

The middle eight was adapted by the Violent Femmes for their 1983 song "Gone Daddy Gone" and the 2006 cover by Gnarls Barkley.

Spanish singer Soraya Arnelas released a Spanish version of the song, re-titled as "Tu Piel" on her 2005 album Corazón de Fuego.
