Keb' Mo' - Keb' Mo'
1994
am I wrong
fallin’ in love with you
Tell me am I wrong
Fallin’ in love with you
While your other man was out there
Cheatin’ and lyin’, steppin’ all over you
Tell me am I wrong
Holdin’ on to you so tight
Am I wrong
Holdin’ on to you so tight
If your other man come to claim you
He'd better be ready
Ready for a long long fight
Well I gotta be strong
Well I know you're dependin’ on me
You know I gotta be strong
I know you're dependin’ on me
To give you all of my attention
All of my time
And all of the love you need
Am I wrong
Tryin to hold on to you
Tell me am I wrong
Tryin to hold on to you
I just wanna make a home for you baby
And all of your children too
People say don’t do this
When obviously you should
People say don’t go there
It’s so dark in the woods
No one think you’re gonna make it
On your own with your own rules
And their advice you’re to take it
Only way to feel the groove
Ch Are you doing the right thing
Singing the right song
Just dreaming like you should
Are you doing the best thing for you ?
All you see goes through your eyes
And you think out of your brain
Walk on your knees to realize
What you see won’t be the same
And each breath you take, each step you walk
Each move you make, they ain’t no joke
All these little things you always
Be proud of it ‘cos they’re so true
But you still don’t know
What you know, what you feel
Where you go, and what you seek
What you do and what you say
What you sew is what you get
So there ain’t any way
You could be mistaken
Ain’t got no way to get away
All you gotta do is accept

Yes I know that I hurt you
That day I went away
But here I’m back now
I hope you’ll let me stay
I know I’ve been wrong
So sorry I made you cry
It will be catch as catch can
Honey please let me try
When you wake up in the morning
I’ll lay flowers at your feet
I’ll be kissing you all over
Gonna give you what you need
I’ll make the sun shine
Even on a cloudy day
It will be catch as catch can
Honey please let me stay
Please forgive me, forgive me
I know that I was wrong
I hope you didn’t stop loving me
That you can hear my song
Gonna try to make it right
Won’t be easy I can see
It will be catch as catch can
Honey please let me be
Right here, right now, this time again
I wanna make you ease my soul and make you stop my pain
I’m tired to be alone
Let’s make us win this game
It will be catch as catch can
Honey please start to play
It will be catch as catch can
Honey please don’t complain
It will be catch as catch can
Honey please be my mate

Deep Down Arizona lived a man
A rattlesnake alone in the sand
Like a guard for his own sake
His used to bite the one who stands
On the land, the land he claimed
One day rode a man outta town
When he heard the rattle sound
He knew what was up to him
He heard the man, the man heard him
On the land, the land he claimed
Hey crazy ol’ man, why do you bite so hard
Hey crazy ol’ man, why do you strike so hard
Three days after was sent a girl
To charm and kill the cold-skinned earl
The spinnin’ rattle rang again
And a gun shot made it fade
On the land, the land he claimed
But the girl, she was never seen again
And it appears the girl was charmed
None of us thought that she'd been harmed
‘Cos every time the snake was heard
You could be sure the gun was fired
On the land, the land he claimed
With his girl, they were never seen again

i woke up to an other day, the alarm clocked an hour late
and i'm rushing for the door
the morning traffic moving slow, i listen to the radio
trying to find out what's going on
i get to work, start open my files one by one
a man's work is never done
i met the top of a mountain, but i'm still not satisfied
why do i feel so empty inside
did i forget to say, that i love you
this morning, when i rushed out the door
did i forget to say, that i need you
that you're the most important thing in my life,
and you're everything i have
thinking about you makes me smile, crying like a baby child
i lost a few drops this morning
she's such a hard working girl, she makes everything she can
just to please me
i never met a girl that treated me so kind
and taking her for grand, the furthest from my mind
it was an other side, i flipped up this time
she's got the whole that matters in my life
did i forget to say, that i love you
this morning, when i rushed out the door
did i forget to say, that i need you
that you're the most important thing in my life,
and you're everything i have

I fell in love with you, so easily
You were so beautiful, threw myself at your feet
I gave my heart to you, placed it in your palms
It felt so good at first, so safe and soft
Did you just take my heart, so you can tear it apart ?
Did you just take my heart to see my cryin’ ?
Stop squeezin’ it so hard, I can’t breathe and hardly talk
Did you just take my heart, to put me down
Once you knew I was caught, roped in and bound
You bared your hidden claws, started playin’ around
It was a deadly game of cat and mouse
When I tried to escape, you’d stalk me then pounce
Did you just take my heart, so you can tear it apart ?
Did you just take my heart to see my cryin’ ?
Stop squeezin’ it so hard, I can’t breathe and hardly talk
Did you just take my heart, to put me down
Well you can keep my heart, you know that ruin’s not mine
Tomorrow I’ll be gone, to a place you can’t find
You know I’ll never be around, you’ll never see me anymore
my baby don't have to worry, she don't have to rob and steal (bis)
i give her ev'rything she needs, i am her drivin' wheel
she left me this mornin', said she'd be back at soon (bis)
she'd be back early friday morning or late saturday afternoon
i wrote my baby a letter, don't want no one to break the seal (bis)
that letter goes to my baby, i am her drivin' wheel
now wait a minute, i wanna tell you somethin'!
i wanna tell you about my baby!
ev'ry time she walks, she's like a leaf on a willow tree (bis)
i want you to c'mon baby, cos i am your drivin' wheel

I’m back home in my morning
With my guitar in my hand
My wife and son they’re still asleep
And I try to hush as I can
After I’ve paid for gasoline
And given their share to the band
I lay ashamed of what it gives
Only forty poor dollars in my hand
So I dry my tears and I try to sleep
I know my wife’s gonna wake up and say
You gotta pay for the groceries, groceries
I’m gonna have to beg my friends
Once again to lend me cash
And I’m in luck by the end of the year
If I don’t drown in debts
So I dry my tears and I grab my phone
I know my wife’s gonna wake up and say
It’s your turn to pay the rent, pay the rent
But I hear a voice deep inside of me
It says to hold on to my beliefs
It says it’s gonna pay for all the years
Of struggling and having not enough to eat
So I dry my tears and I pray the Lord
Someday she wakes up and I’ll say
I’ll pay for what we need and even more, even more

Buddy Guy - Play The Blues
1972
The first time I met the blues
People, you know I was walkin', I was walkin' down through the woods
Yes, the first time, the first time I met you, blues
Blues you know I was walkin', I was walkin' down through the woods
Yes, I've watched my house burnin' blues
Blues, you know you done me, you done me all the harm that you could
When the blues got after me
People, you know they ran me from tree to tree
Yes, the blues got after me
Blues, you know you ran me, ran me from tree to tree
Yes, you should-a heard me beg ya, blues
Ah, blues, don't murder me
Yes, good mornin', blues
Blues, I wonder, I wonder what you're doin' here so soon
Yes, good mornin', good mornin', good mornin', mister blues
Blues, I wonder, I keep wonderin' what you're doin' here so soon
Yes, you know you'll be with me every mornin', blues
Every night and every noon
You were always, the pretty one
You didn’t want nothing, but having fun
Guys were always, chasing you
Well that was fine, you could pick and choose
You didn’t think that it, could be done
You didn’t dream you could, fall in love
Then one day this, man appears
And you start falling, head over heals
All that you wanted was to have a good time
Take their money until the last dime
All that you wanted was to have a good time
Now you think, he’s gotta be mine
He takes your money, he pawns your jewels
But you still think, that he ain’t no fool
Then one day, there’s a note on the fridge
Goodbye baby, thanks for all you did
All that you wanted was to have a good time
Take their money until the last dime
All that you wanted was to have a good time,
Now you see, he’s putting you down
You have a heart of stone, and it’s cold as ice
Heart of stone, but it’s time to deice
Heart of stone, now they roll the dice
It’s time to pay the price

Well I guess that I’m a loser
No matter how hard I try
I keep dodgin’, swervin’, slinkin’
Can’t find no place to hide
I got a woman and three kids
Two jobs both at a time
I try to make a go of it
Try to toe the line
Hell on wheels
Keeps rollin’ after me
Hell on wheels
Rollin’ over me
Thinkin’ bout relenting
‘Bout throwing in the towel
I say to life, «I’ll beat you,
Just watch, I’ll show you how»
I start fixin’ up the house
It starts to look just fine
It Makes my wife so happy
We even make love twice
Next day I go to work
The boss is full of praise
He says «You’ve earned promotion
And along with it a raise»
I’m driving home from work now
Feelin’ pretty satisfied
Then they announce on radio
A hurricane tonight
I board up all the windows
Beggin’ Lord for mercy
Next morning lays our lil’ home
10 feet under the sea
The place where I was working
Is all torn down
The boss he’s been leaving
Nowhere to be found

Big Bill Bronzy - Hey Hey
1951
Hey hey, hey hey, baby hey,
Hey hey, hey hey, baby hey,
Hey hey, hey hey, baby hey
Hey hey, hey hey, baby hey,
Hey hey, hey hey, baby hey,
I love you baby, but I sure ain't gonna be your dog
Hey hey, hey hey, baby hey,
Hey hey, hey hey, baby hey,
With my arms all around you, baby,
You know, that's all I can say is hey
Hey hey, lost your good thing now,
Hey hey, you lost your good thing now
You had me fooled, but I found it out somehow
When you see the girl, Walkin’ down the streets
She’s the pretty girl, Gettin’ down in beat
Look at the girl, For her all the peasants gonna creep
She’s the only girl Who’s makin’ everybody dream
See the hips, the crazy hips
The streetscape wavin’ all around
This is the hip hip hip girl
I’m walkin’ behind her, Her footsteps hard to find
Hear the heels see the fire, Of her hair like a lullaby
When I get close enough, I Can catch such a sweet smell
Of her when she coughs, On me she’d put a spell
See the hips, the crazy hips
The streetscape wavin’ all around
This is the hip hip hip girl
Let’s get back to this girl cos I’ve been on her track for a bucha time,
When I see she’s gettin’ in a lil store, I’d like to ask her «what could I buy, But...
I’m too much impressed, and chances seems too far away from me,
I’m almost leaving, Almost out of the game, ready to get back home without tryin’ anything
And I see the hips the crazy hips, And it turns my mind wild
And I just get right though the door, With a whisper in my eyes
And I’m walking in the streets, Hand in hand with the girl
Both of us now in beat, I Had my chance to cease the Pearl
And I Look at the girl, For her all the peasants gonna creep
She’s the only girl, Who’s making everybody dream
See the hips, the crazy hips
The streetscape wavin’ all around
She is my hip hip hip girl
oh honey hush, yes you talk too much (bis)
listenin' to your conversation is just about to separate us
you start talkin' in the morning, you're talkin' all day long
i'm tryin' to figure out what i did wrong
oh honey hush, yes you talk too much
listenin' to your conversation is just about to separate us
i stay out all day long, you know i hate to come home
everything i do, seems to be wrong
oh honey hush, yes you talk too much
listenin' to your conversation is just about to separate us
i can't eat, i can't sleep, i can't rest in peace
i'll be better off, you know, walkin' the streets
oh honey hush, yes you talk too much
listenin' to your conversation is just about to separate us

Muddy Waters - Hoochie Coochie Man
1954
The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
I got a boy-child's comin'
He's gonna be a son-of-a-gun
He's gonna make pretty women's
Jump and shout
Then the world gonna know
What this all about
Don't you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, you know I'm the hoochie-coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here
I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got John the Conqueror
I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
Then the world'll know
The hoochie-coochie man
Don't you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, you know I'm the hoochie-coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here
On the seventh hour
On the seventh day
On the seventh mont
The seventh doctor say
"He was born for good luck
And that you see
I got seven hundred dollars
And don't you mess with me
But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, you know I'm the hoochie-coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here
Lundi j’croise une fille, elle m’a invité à danser
Au bal de samedi soir, si moi j’peux l’amener
Et mardi j’parle à mon père, de cette fille qu’j’ai rencontré
J’lui dit j’ai b’soin d’ton aide, de ta voiture et la clef
Y m’dit qu’t’as passé l’âge, de commencer à travailler
Après ça tu viens m’voir, t’auras la voiture et la clef
Elle m’a promis une bise, si moi j’peux l’amener
A ce bal de samedi soir, tu vois j’peux pas l’rater
J’ai d’mandé à mon père, si lui peux pas m’aider
Y m’dit trouve-toi un travail, t’auras la voiture et la clef
Y faut qu’j’trouve un travail, et mon père il va m’aider
Et vendredi j’vais l’voir, j’aurai la voiture et la clef
Elle m’a promis une danse, si moi j’peux l’amener
A ce bal de samedi soir, tu vois j’peux pas l’manquer

It’s time for me, to dry my tears
It’s time for me, to face my fears
It’s time for me, to turn around,
Pick myself, off the ground
It’s time for me, to realize
No sense in trying, to change the past
It’s time to leave, regrets behind
Go from here, to make a life
Time will come, I’ll find new friends
We’ll take up playin’, playin’ the blues again
The only place, that the blues belong
Is in the sway of a swinging song
It’s time to kiss, despair goodbye
Time to rise, on the other side
Time I’m sitting up, high and dry
While down below, them rivers flow on by
It’s time for me

Well she’s the kinda girl, the one that doesn’t stay
She’s the kinda girl that’s always on the way
She’s the kinda girl you meet one day
The other day she’s gone away
And when you’re on your own she’s in your head
These kinda girl(s)?, they show you how to live
They guide you up, in spite of your own will
They got never angry nor afraid,
A trust in life that never fades away
These girls they live with no one else
The one I met, one I can’t forget
She came to me, an angel I did not expect
And I fell in love with so much grace
I flew with her and when I fell
I looked up and I saw her fly away
Well now I’m old, I heard she passed away
And I’m waiting for this time they gonna fill my grave
But the only thought I have in mind
Is that selfish hope that she won’t find
Too many waiting for her at the gate

Hello there my old friend
Not so long ago it was till the end
We played outside in the pourin' rain
On our way up the road we started over again
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
That's how it happened livin' life by the drop
Up and down that road in our worn out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good things and singin' the blues
You went your way and I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter or time
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
That's how it happened life by the drop
No waste of time we're allowed today
Churnin' up the past, there's no easier way
Times been between us, a means to an end
God its good to be here walkin' together my friend
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
That's how it happened life by the drop
Got this babe
Got the feel of the ol’ days
When you came to me this happy day
Told me you ain’t gonna stay
When I got you
Didn’t not you were for real
Nobody told me
But the blues when you ain’t here
Got in my life
As a sunbeam in a cloudy day
But I knew someday babe
The sky was gonna cry again

Mary Mae, what you do to me
Mary Mae, stop doing that to me
Cos I can’t sleep at night, and the more I try
I think about you and me
Mary Mae, what a funny game you play
Mary Mae, please stop that game you play
And you give me your blinks, you show me your things
I don’t know what you mean
Mary Mae, please answer the phone
Mary Mae, please pick up your phone
But you let it ring, just like you don’t give
A shit about the one who calls
And if it goes like this I’m a do something
For years you’re going to regret
I’ll call your dad and tell him about
The men you see behind the bar
Mary Mae, you make a fool of me
Mary Mae, please stop that dance with me
Everybody knows, they me ‘the horns
And I can’t go through the doors
Mary Mae, quit this game with me
Mary Mae, stop being bad to me

Every day, all day long
Sittin’ in a rockin’ chair
Every day, all alone,
I don’t know why he’s sittin’ there
He’s just an ol’ man
My neighbour, he just doesn’t care
He don’t fear snow he don’t fear rain
He keeps sittin’ in his rockin’ chair
Trough the window by winter
I see the wrinkles on his face
He’s just an ol’ man
My neighbour, he just doesn’t care
He doesn’t have a friend to talk someone to hear his life
I’m sure he has so much to tell before the day he dies
And then one day I asked the mayor
Who’s that in the rockin’ chair
He told me son, he’s a prayer
A wise man’s live there
He’s just an ol’ man
My neighbour, he just doesn’t care
To see the priest I went to church
Maybe something I could learn
He told me son he’s a sinner
He told me once he raped a girl
He’s just an ol’ man
But my neighbour, he gets me scared

No food on my table
And no shoes to go on my feet
No food on my table
And no shoes to go on my feet
My children cry for mercy
They got no place to call your own
Hard times, hard times
Hard times seem like a jealous thing
Hard times, hard times
Hard times seem like a jealous thing
If someone don't help me
And I just can't be around three months long
No shoes on my feet
And no food to go on my table
Oh, no, too sad
Children crying for bread

my room has got two windows
the sunlight never comes through
it's always dark and dreary
since i broke off, baby with you
i live on a lonely avenue
my little girl wouldn't say i do
well, i feel so sad and blue
and it's all because of you
i could cry, i could cry
i could die, i could die
because i live on a lonely avenue
lonely avenue
now my covers they feel like lead
and my pillow it feels like stone
well, i've tossed and turned so every night
i'm not used to being alone
i live on a lonely avenue
my little girl wouldn't say i do
well, i feel so sad and blue
and it's all because of you
i could cry, i could cry
i could die, i could die
because i live on a lonely avenue
lonely avenue
now i've been so sad and lonesome
since you've left this town
you know if i could beg or borrow the money
child, i would be a highway bound
i live on a lonely avenue
my little girl wouldn't say i do
well, i feel so sad and blue
you know its all because of you
i could cry, i could cry
i could die, i could die

As a little boy I lived on a hill
And that's what made me so quiet
T'see the morning mist around gathering
Sure that learnt me to take my time
But growin' up I had to leave my dreams
To go to school down the city
And all the children made me miss my hill
With their shouts and their quarrels and laughs
Being back home at night was a delivery
I could have peace alone on my hill
Staying locked up in all my mystery
Did non know I would pay the bill
‘Cos growin’ older it got harder
To stay away from society
I didn't know that I would feel better
If I'd share with the people around me
Still stuck in silence I hoped someone
Surely a girl to be the one
Who’d take my hand and show me how
To feel alright everywhere I go
That's how you woke me up to my own life
Opening my eyes and my desire
That's how you made me be a full grown man
No afraid to talk to people, not worrying about how things go
Let me thank you once and for all

i can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home
I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home

People say life is hard, Guess they always will
Full of flats and sharps, Life don’t never stand still
It will make you climb a mountain, Make you roll back down that hill
Pick you up and push down, Keep you goin’ through that mill
Then one day it comes walkin’, Light and easy through your door
Things are good, sun is shining, You couldn’t ask for more
Then it hooks you and it spins you, Turns you upside down
Sets you back up, up right, Makes you strong or makes you numb
Playin’ tricks on you (bis)
You don’t even know, What it’s doin’ to you
People say life is hard, Well it’s cause they know it’s true
Like a flip of the cards , Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And when you wake up in the morning, You know it’s gonna be tough
You go to bed in the evening, Wishin’ to take a day off
Then life comes with satisfaction, It says, ‘look what I can do
You didn’t even know, I was playin’ tricks on you’
There ain’t nothin’ very merry, ‘Bout goin’ round and round
You’d be better off, Keepin' your feet on the ground
All you do is bet your heart, Set it out there in full view
Even though you know from the start, Life is playin’ tricks on you
All you do is goin’ on, Stay on course no matter what
Just try not to forget, What’s life really about

We’re playing outside in the pouring rain
Me and my kid just like old friends
Playing outside in the pouring rain
Raining like I never saw before
The frogs don’t dare to face the storm
Gonna be a daddy day by the fireplace
But as we play my boy’s getting mad,
He’s screaming like he’s about to die
I don’t know what I did, I sure don’t like the face
I ask him why he’s being so mean
He says, I wanna shoot the coffee machine
But I can see that nothing’s wrong with the latter
And I see regular glances
To the window to the garden
Ain’t no way for me to go down there
You know reason out is impossible
And going outside, inevitable
What a stupid thing to do in November
I say, we go outside we gonna catch a cold
or even worse mama’s gonna be scold
But he said, no, I want outside with you
And now the years have past and he’s become a man
He found himself such a pretty gal
The two of them it’s a pair made to last
And I’m sure someday they gonna tell me
About a new one that’s on the way
And on the rainy days I’ll have him home to play

I’ve laid my heart on the line, to find it was not enough
No matter how hard it’s been, to climb back out of the rut
Or even how many years, it took for me to adjust
In spite of all of the tears, I cried when it got too rough,
How I believe I’m sincere, in thinking now I’ll be tough
Though I don’t wanna complain, I’m better off to admit
I’d have to be quite insane, to make another attempt
The story ends, till a new one begins,
Caught unaware, just like some little kid
Though I beg mercy from the gods above,
When it comes to falling in love, I’m a repeat offender
When it comes to falling in love, I do it again
I’ve sworn that I’ll run away, at the first sign of weakness
I’ll guard my heart, keep it safe, from all of that tenderness
Oh non I won’t be a slave, to all those urges within
Think of the oath that I made, forget the joy and the bliss
The story ends, till a new one begins,
Caught unaware, just like some little kid
Though I beg mercy from the gods above,
When it comes to falling in love, I’m a repeat offender
When it comes to falling in love, I do it again
This time it won’t be the same, I’m gonna do it again
Ain’t got no lessons learned, no judgement, fear and pain
Even if I’m a hopeless case, I’m gonna do it anyway
When it comes to falling in love I do it again
Yeah let’s do it, let’s fall in love
come on let’s live, love and forget
When it comes to falling in love, I’m a repeat offender
When it comes to falling in love, I do it again
Sister, dry your tears
Cos I know there’s something to hold on to
The pain, you’re living with
Sure must be a way to live without
And I’ve known you long enough to see
Something is wrong
That you gotta get rid off
If you wanna live long
And your friends, they tell me bout your sorrow
But you don’t tell me nothing of it all
And what I feel, it’s that it’s not your fault
So I ain’t gonna judge you or treat you wrong
So now you gotta talk to me about this mess
You’re going through
Is that your job your kids your man that’s troubling ?
As a brother I’m asking you
She said, the eyes full of tears
You know, who causes my fears
But I love him, and I need him, but he’s just too hard on me
And I’m stained by devil hands
Gotta leave before the end
Sister, how strong you’ve been
To take your things and take your kids away
And soon enough, I’m gonna pay a visit
Cos I long to see them, now you feel better
I long to see them, more than ever
Because I’m missing my family
and sister

1954
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots and pans
Way you wear those dresses, the sun come shining through
Way you wear those dresses, the sun come shining through
I can't believe my eyes all that mess belongs to you
I said shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
Well, I can look at you an' tell you ain't no child no more
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul
It’s been long since you’ve been away
It’s been long since I’m all alone
It’s been long all these nights and days
Oh my Lord, where has she gone ?
In a week you told me you’d be back
It’s been 3 since I saw you last
How much longer will you make me wait
Oh my Lord, why’s she so late
She must be riding ‘cross the country in my 63 Ford
She had the pleasure takin’ my car
She’s a wonderful girl, but not for me
Only news I have is my money
I mean leavin’ my account each day
She didn’t even wanna take her phone
Oh my Lord, where has she gone
She must be riding ‘cross the country in my 63 Ford
She had the pleasure takin’ my car
She’s a wonderful girl, but not for me
She gets back home one night she’s deadly tired
She has been drivin’ for a dozen hours
Her mum she visited was much better
Oh my Lord, how could I forget that, and she said :
« 3 weeks without a phone call ain’t that strange
I tried so many times to call in vain
You’re a looser just get out of my place »
She’s a wonderful girl, but not for me
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your ma' is good lookin'
So hush
Little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
Yes, you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But 'til that mornin'
There's nothin' can harm you
Yes with Daddy and Mammy

When I woke up this mornin’
Through the window sun is shinin’
Yeah I told you it’s a bright day
The lady’s gone away
Was just great to find her
Nice girl great lover
But when she open her mouth
Her mind’s so blown away
This is the sunny side walk
The girl she’s gone without talk
She had the sun in her smile
But nothin’ shines inside
Took her clothes before leavin’
Great she didn’t wake me up
She avoided me to tell her
You don’t have to come back

You told me baby, once upon a time
You said if I would be yours, you would sure be mine
That's alright
I know you don't love me no more baby, but that's alright
Every night and day I wonder who is loving you tonight
You told me baby, your love for me was strong
When I woke up little girl, half of this big world was gone
That's alright
I guess I'll never be the same but that's alright
Every night and day I wonder who is loving you tonight
Please tell me baby, what's getting wrong with you?
You don't treat me halfway right baby, look a like you used to do
But that's alright
I guess I'll never be the same but that's alright
Every night and day I wonder who is loving you tonight

the thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away
the thrill is gone baby, the thrill is gone away
you know you done me wrong baby
and you'll be sorry someday
the thrill is gone, it's gone away from me
the thrill is gone baby, the thrill is gone away from me
although, i'll still live on
but so lonely i'll be
the thrill is gone, it's gone away for good
the thrill is gone baby, it's gone away for good
someday i know i'll be open armed baby
just like i know a good man should
you know i'm free, free now baby, i'm free from your spell
oh i'm free, free, free now, i'm free from your spell
and now that it's all over
all i can do is wish you well

Travelin' south, tryin' to work my way back home
I said I'm headed south, tryin' to work my way back home
I'm so broken an' hungry, ain't no money for the telephone
Feet so tired, I think I'm gonna lay down
I say my feets is so tired, ya'all, I think I'm gonna lay down
I got another hundred miles, before I make the next town
I'll be glad to leave this town, I ain't comin' back no more
I'll be glad to leave this town, y'all, I ain't comin' back no more
I'm gonna head back down to Texas, that's the only place I know
I woke up this morning, feeling round for my shoes
Know 'bout 'at I got these, old walking blues
Woke up this morning, feeling round for my shoes
But you know 'bout 'at I, got these old walking blues
Lord, I feel like blowing my old lonesome horn
Got up this morning, my little Bernice was gone
Lord, I feel like blowing my lonesome horn
Well I got up this morning all I had was gone
Well leave this morn' of I have to ride the blind
I've feel mistreated and I don't mind dying
Leaving this morn', I have to ride a blind
Babe, I been mistreated, baby, and I don't mind dying
Well, some people tell me that the worried blues ain't bad
Worst old feeling I most ever had, some
People tell me that these old worried old blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feeling, I 'most ever had

Lord she break in on a dollar most anywhere she goes

My mama found a job For me in the local papers
She told me to call, I couldn’t find the number
That’s why she called herself To get me an appointment
I had to be at 10, On monday after week end
Work work, I’m gonna work
I started on monday and found the job great
stackin wood for all day, that really mean a thing
The problem is the boss Who came to me on tuesday
He told me in a toss, Tomorrow is the end
Work work, I wanna work
Now it’s been two weeks since I got fired
I’m keeping tryin’ searchin’, Hard to get hired
No one in his business Needs a pair of hands
I’m tired to be jobless, they all don’t give a damn
Work work, Gimme some work
In all this time at home, had time to play my guitar
record a few songs and get them to a bar
did you write all this stuff, asked me the bar tender
for me it’s good enough, I can make you an offer
Work work, I got some work
I play here every night, it’s always full to bursting
I even got a contract to make a few recordings
My mama keeps on sayin’, you gotta find a work
even if I’m earnin half her wage an hour
The moral of the story is that you can get rich
you mama’ll always worry you can get a hitch

Here’s the story of a young man
Had to leave his home town
Had to leave family and friends
Leave it all behind
Packed up his things and clothes
Flipped a coin to know where to
Spent the night with his girlfriend
Hit the road in the gloom
20 miles he’d been walking
When the sun came up
20 more he’d been struggling
Before the first highway shop
Asks for a coffee and a breakfast
Everything goes too well
But a man comes in the shop,
And he shouts at him like hell
Hey young man, you’ve been messing with the wrong girl
Pain, when the stone hit the head
Escape, through the back door of the shop
20 miles he’d been running
Leave this county behind
Ahead of him was a city
Where he gotta start a new life
Get outta here, cos he’d been messing with the wrong girl
He found a job in a factory
And a home in a cheap hotel
Do his best to blend in
Be a good employee and man
20 years he was still there
But inside he was insane
Always awakened by nightmares
Cos all this time he’d been this
Young man, who’d been messing with wrong girl

Like a ship, lost in a storm,
Yearns for a beacon, to shine from shore
Like a man, in the desert sun,
Yearns for shade, to cool his bones
For years, long dry years, I’ve yearned for you
Like a child, yearns for the comfort,
Of his mother’s arms, to heal the hurt
Like a seed, yearns for the rain,
To help it rise, from its early grave
For years…
You marked my soul, with you brand
Then went off and married some other man
Like without you’s like being damned
I’ve yearned for you
Like the moon, yearns for the sun,
To chase the gloom, to bring its warmth,
Like a tree, yearns for wind,
So it can dance, and sing again
For years…
Since I heard, you were free
I can’t stop wonderin’, how it would be
If you’ve been hungerin’, just like me
I’ve yearned for you

you did fool your mummy, you did fool your dad
but i'm gonna know, when you'll be bad
you can't fool me, let me you girl you can't fool me
i got my eyes on you baby, let me tell you girl you can't fool me
you said you went downtown, you see this be could be true
but he stopped by here, looking for you
you can't fool me, let me you girl you can't fool me
i got my eyes on you baby, let me tell you girl you can't fool me
you just smile real sweet, you tell everything's fine
but baby i know, what you got on your mind
you can't fool me, let me you girl you can't fool me
i got my eyes on you baby, let me tell you girl you can't fool me

She’s just a little thing, only got one shoe
I’m just an old man, who only knows the blues
Have to give her comfort, the only way that I can do
My harp out of my pocket, I sit her down and play a tune
When nothing’s left to lose
When there’s nowhere you belong
Draw out the pain in your heart
And let it pour into a song
Hear the voice that sings that sings the blues
You just can’t go wrong
Her world’s in pieces, mine’s forever been
Nature’s wreaked it’s vengeance, no way it can be healed
Her head upon my shoulder, her little hand in mine
Even with the right song, it’s gonna take some time
No, no you can’t
Well, she’s gotta heal, believe in life in everything
Even in a world where the people, the people die
There’s a song,
Yeah there’s a song
You gotta hear it,
You gotta feel it,
You gotta know it carries sorrow away
