While I catch me a fast freight train
Oh, bad luck, yeah, bad luck

FADES-
Left my home in Texas
I moved to Arkansas
Now if you think I'm goin' back again
Oh my God, no, no
'Cause I'm a travellin' man, I say I'm a travellin' man
I don't wanna lose this groove, I got to move
I'm a travellin' man
I've been in every town
I've been to every state
Tryin' to find a woman I love
I'm searchin' for my mate
I'm a travellin' man, hey, hey, I'm a travellin' man
I don't wanna lose this groove, I tell you, I got to move

From door to door

If I don't wanna lose this groove, I got to move
'Cause I'm a travellin' man
Come on man, let's go
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know how slow
The moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's the thought of you
The sky is cryin', look at the tears roll down the street
The sky is cryin', look at the tears roll down the street
I been lookin' for my baby, yeah, an' I wonder where can she be
I saw my baby early one mornin', an' she was walkin' on down the street
I saw my baby early one mornin', an' she was walkin' on down the street
You know it hurt me so bad, yeah, it made my poor heart skip a beat
I got a bad feelin', my baby don't love me no more
I got a real bad, bad feelin', my baby don't love me no more
You know the sky is cryin', yeah, the tears rollin' down my nose
They call me the hunter, that's my name
A pretty woman like you, is my only game
I bought me a love gun, just the other day
And I aim to aim it your way
Ain't no use to hide, ain't no use to run
'Cause I've got you in the sights of my love gun
The first time I saw you, standing on the street
I says to myself, "Woo, ain't she sweet"
I've got my love gun loaded, with hugs and kisses
And when I pull the trigger, there will be no misses
Ain't no need to hide, ain't no use to run
'Cause I've got you in the sights of my love gun
Ain't no use to hide, ain't no use to run
'Cause I've got you in the sights of my love gun
I'm the big bad hunter baby
My baby don't stand no cheating, my babe

Way back yonder cross the hill
'Cus if my baby don't love me no more...
I know her sister will
I'm a cross cut saw, just drag me 'cross your log

I'm a cross cut saw, just drag me 'cross your log
I cut your wood so easy for you
Now, this tune should be easy for you to deal with...
All you gotta do is remember back home,
you know what I mean
When you was sitting out behind the house
or practicing on your own guit feble
Tryin' to get things together,
and you couldn't make up your mind
Kinda half-way knew what you wanted to do
but you didn't have it all together...
But you did know you wanted to travel
[That's right!]
Yeah, I remember those days real good
[I know]
Didn't have really many clothes
Didn't know nobody to call to sing for you
So you had to get out there in no time, you know
[so]
You don't make no tiffanies, you say
"I'm goin'...
And I know I got a great time, but I'm goin' anyway..."
Whatever happens...
[What happens?]
I gotta pay my dues somewhere
Listen:
Dreamed that I was lucky,
But I woke up cold in hand
Hey, I dreamed that I was lucky, darling,

FEELINGS (Morris Albert)
Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
trying to forget my feelings of love.
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.
Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.
Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I've never have you again in my heart.
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.
Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I've never have you again in my life.
Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Everybody wants to laugh but nobody wants to cry
I say, everybody wants to laugh but nobody wants to cry
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everybody wanna hear the truth but yet, everybody wants to tell a lie
I say, everybody wants to hear the truth but still they all wanna tell a lie
Oh, everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everybody wanna know the reason without even askin' why
Oh, everybody wanna know the reason, oh without even askin' why
I'm going down. My nose is in the sand
I'm going down, down, baby. My nose is in the sand
A cloud of dust just came over me and I think I'm drowning on dry land.
You know, my father told me, son don't rush to be a man
You know, my father told me, son don't you rush to be a man
But I went ahead on, and now I think I'm drowning on dry land
You know my mother told me the story, about that li'l dog that couldn't see too well
He was crossing a railroad track one day, when the train cut off a part of his tail
He turned around but never looked up, just to peep over the rail
And she said he lost his whole head, trying to find a little piece of tail
That's why I'm going down, my nose is in the sand
A could of dust just came over me
There's two kind of people
I just can't stand
Evil-hearted woman
And a lyin' man
Don't you lie to me
Now don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
Evil as a man can be
When you told me
That you loved me long time ago
The fellow that you got
You don't want him no more
Don't you lie to me
Now don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
I get evil as a man can be
You told me
That you loved me long time ago
The fellow that you have
You don't want him no more
Don't you lie to me
Now don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
I get evil as a man can be
Don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
No, don't lie to me
Now don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
Your mind's set on leavin'
To a house down a one way street
Say you're gonna lock up all the doors
And throw away the key
Oh, but don't burn down the bridge, darlin'
You just might wanna come back
'Cause the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track
Oh, you counted me out, before I could get to bat
All the things are out-ta the Chevrolet
Tomorrow night be drivin' a Cadillac
But don't burn down the bridge, darlin'
You just might wanna come back
'Cause the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track
Hey!
All your so called friends
Taught you how to cheat an' lie
Now it seem like you gonna jump
From the fryin' pan to the fire
Oh, but don't burn down your bridge, darlin'
You just might wanna come back
'Cause the grass ain't no greener
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
If you got a woman that's cold
9 times outta 10 she can't be stole
If you got a woman that's hot as fire
You can wave your woman bye-bye
If she's hot she knows she's hot
Then you can't please her with what you got
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
If you gotta woman that's hard to get
9 times outta 10 the lil' girl'll stick
If you gotta woman that talks to every man that hits
When you get home she might done split
If she listens to them long enough
You can wave bye-bye to your good good stuff
('Cos)
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
(I say)
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
If you gotta woman that don't like to laugh and grin
Aw buddy, she'll stay with you until the end
But if you gotta woman that likes to flirt
You can call your family doctor buddy cuz you bout to get hurt
If you got a woman that can't count her fingers and toes
It's no telling how many men have seen exposed
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman

The finance company
They just can't recieve my check
They say they want a payment by Friday
Or they want all-a the furniture back
I went to the credit union
To try to get myself a loan
They said, "I would let ya have it young man
But we hear that you won't be workin' here much longer
Angel of mercy
Won't you please look down on me?
Oh, angel of mercy
A little mercy is all I need
Lord have mercy
Oh angel
Cut my lights off this mo'nin'
They set my furniture out doors
I was listenin' to the weatherman 'while ago
An' he's says it's gonna rain an' snow
My daughter's got pneumonia
An' my son is down with the flu
My whole family's sufferin' from malnutrition
And I can't even 'fford them soup
I say, angel of mercy
Won't you please look down on me?
Oh, angel of mercy
Almost Lost My Mind
as performed by Albert King
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
My eyes was full of tears
Since she left me behind
I pass a million people; I can't tell who I meet
I pass a million people; I can't tell who I meet
My eyes are full of tears
Where can my baby be?
[guitar solo]
I went to see a gypsy to get my fortune read
I went to see a gypsy to have my fortune read
My head hung in sorrow
When she said what she said
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
[repeat to fade]
You know I feel so bad
You know I feel so bad
Because I just lost, I just lost
The best woman I ever had
I'm gonna buy me a ticket
Just as long as I am told
Oh, I'm gonna buy me a ticket, buddy
Just as long as I am told
I'm going to the train station
A well I bless my soul
Whats wrong with me?
Im itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say Im actin wild as a bug
Im in love
Im all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I cant seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
Im in love
Im all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
Please dont ask me whats on my mind
Im a little mixed up, but Im feelin fine
When Im near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!
She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a vulcano thats hot
Im proud to say shes my buttercup
Im in love
Im all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
My tongue get tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
Theres only one cure for this body of mine
Throw me away
You can treat me like trash
But still I turn around babe
An' give ya all-a my cash
You can send me far away
Somewhere down on the track, now
But just like a boomerang baby you know
I'll come right back
There ain't nothin' you can do, darlin'
To stop me from lovin' you
Oh, there's nothin' you can say, darlin'
Little girl, to drive me away
You can call me names
In the presence of my friend
That wouldn't hurt my feelin's
You know that wouldn't mean a thing
It's gonna take a miracle
To drive me away
I'll be around babe, until I'm old an' gray
There is nothin' you can do babe
To stop me from lovin' you
Oh, there's nothin' you can say, little girl
Darlin', to drive me away
Oh, hahaha, come on, ya'all
Well, alright
You can play with my heart
Like kids play with toys
I wouldn't give a damn
If ya tore it apart
You can walk all over me
Then treat me like dirt
So much in love wit' cha darlin'
I wouldn't even feel the hurt
There is nothin' you can do, babe
To stop me from lovin' you
No, there's nothin' you can say, little girl
Honey, to drive me away
'Cause I'm satisfied, with the love ya give
I love ya baby, an' I know it's for real
It's gonna take a miracle to drive me away
But I'll be lovin' ya darlin' until I'm old an' gray
There is nothin' you can do babe
To stop me from lovin' you
Hey, there is nothin' you can say, little girl
Honey to drive me away
Woo! hoo-hoo!
Well, alright!
Woo!
Woo!
Man, when ya woman kiss ya
An' hold ya real tight
Catch you back tonight
With all-a her might
She whisper words
She never said befo'
You should know by then, mister
Why you got to go
Ain't that a real good sign?
I believe in it now
Ain't that a real good sign? oh yes it is
Ain't that a real good sign? oh yeah
Gonna make-a little love
(Make a little love)
Gonna make-a little love
(Make a little love)
Girl, when your man come home
Ev'ryday from work
He jump in the bath tub
A-wash away the dirt
Oh an' it seems the same man
That come right straight to you
You should know by then, girl
What you got to do
Ain't that a real good sign? oh yeah
Ain't that a real good sign? I believe in it now
Ain't that a real good sign? yeah-hey
Wanna make a little love
(Make a little love)
Wanna make a little love
(Make a little love)
(I wanna make a little love)
(I wanna make a little love)
(I wanna make a little love)
(I wanna make a little love)
Back in my bed
An' I get the urge to roam
I go out in the streets
But I always come back home
Late at night
I knocked upon your door
Should know right then
I'd come right back for more
Ain't that a real good sign? oh yes it is
Ain't that a real good sign?
I believe in it now
Ain't that a real good sign?
Hey-hey
Babe, I wanna make love
(Make a little love)
Oh yeah
(Make a little love)
I wanna make love
Woo!
(I wanna make a little love)
(I wanna make a little love)
(I wanna make a little love)
(I wanna make a little love)
Fading:
(I wanna make a little love)
