R.L. Burnside nasceu em 1926 na parte rural de Lafayette County, Mississippi. Seu primeiro nome é dado como RL, Robert Lee. Após seu pai abandonar a família no início, R.L. cresceu com sua mãe, avós, e vários irmãos.Ele começou na gaita e logo após descobre a guitarra com a idade de 16, tocando pela primeira vez em público aos 21 anos. Suas influencias musicais tem na base de Mississippi Fred McDowell, que vivia nas proximidades onde R.L. Burnside morava quando criança. Ele ouviu pela primeira vez McDowell tocando aos sete anos. Influenciado pelo de tio Ranie Burnette que era um popular “bluesman” de Senatobia no Mississipi.
No final de 1940 ele se mudou para Chicago, na esperança de encontrar melhores oportunidades de trabalho. Ele encontrou empregos em fábricas de metal e vidro, conhecendo Muddy Waters, onde trabalharam juntos na mesma fabrica. Mas as coisas não saíram como o esperado no período de um ano, seu pai, dois irmãos e dois tios, foram todos assassinados na cidade. (os temas “Hard Time Killing Floor” e “R.L.’s Story”, no álbum Wish I was in Heaven Sitting Down testemunham essa história). Três anos depois de chegar a Chicago, Burnside voltou ao sul.
Ele se mudou várias vezes nos anos de 1950, entre as cidades de Memphis, Tennessee, o Delta do Mississipi e da região montanhosa do norte do Mississippi. Durante seu tempo no Delta, ele conheceu “bluesman” Robert Lockwood Jr. e Aleck "Rice" Miller. Nessa época que Burnside matou um homem, possivelmente, em um jogo de dados jogo, onde foi condenado por assassinato e encarcerados em Parchman Farm. Ele viria a se relacionar com o chefe no presidio de Parchman Farm que precisava das habilidades de Burnside como motorista de trator, na época conseguiu a liberdade depois de seis meses.
