1st Verse
Somebody asked me, why I live the blues
I said the blues is all around me; I just find something I can use
And I feel it running through me, but I give it my heart and soul
I practice while Im singing; let the feeling take control
CHORUS
Im just tryin to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues
2nd Verse
Might think about a woman and how she done me wrong
I might think about some hard times when I was barely hanging on
I might think about a brother who still cant make things be
Some fallin sisters sellin it on the street
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I find my inspiration in tears and desperation
Sad, sad stories we all know so well
Along with one more story to tell
(SOLO)
3rd Verse
Here I am another night; another town along the way
Room full of people say they wanna hear me play
Yes there was some hard times, my luck cannot survive
It takes a whole lot of livin; to make us all come alive

And in the sticky heat I feel you open up to me
Love comes out of nowhere, baby, just like a hurricane
And it feels like rain and it feels like rain
Lying here underneath the stars right next to you
And I'm wondering who you are and how do you do? How do you do, baby?
Clouds roll in across the moon and the wind howl out your name
And it feels like rain and it feels like rain
We never going to make that bridge tonight, baby
Across lake Ponchartrain
And it feels like rain and it feels like rain
So batten down the hatch baby and leave your heart up your sleeve
It looks like we're in for stormy weather, that ain't no 'cause for us to leave
Just lie here in my arms, let it wash away the pain
And it feels like rain and it feels like rain

Well, ooh, got to get my hat and coat

She'd go to 7-11 on me
Well I had a job, but I got laid off
I had a heart but it got too soft
I had a girlfriend and she lied
I had a wife but my wife, she died
One too many drinks about an hour ago
All I want now's just one more
And when it hit, a baby, I don't care
Where, where, where, oh where

I'm sayin' something to you I don't care how you feel
You just don't realize you got yourself a good deal
She's nineteen years old and she got ways just like a baby child
Nothing I can do to please her
I'm just tryin' to make this little woman feel satisfied
I'm sayin' something to you and I don't care if you get mad
You're 'bout the cutest little woman that I'll ever had
She's nineteen years old and she got ways just like a baby child
Nothing I can do to please her, oh no
I'm just tryin' to make this little woman feel satisfied
I'm sayin' something to you and I don't care how you feel
You just don't realize, you know you gotta, you got yourself a good deal
She's nineteen years old and she got ways just like a baby child
Nothing I can do to please her
I'm just tryin' to make this little woman feel satisfied
I can't ask her where she's going, she tells me where she's been
She'll start a conversation, that don't have no end, you know she
She's nineteen years old and she got ways just like a baby child
Nothing I can do to please her
Now if you've ever been down to New Orleans
Then you can understand just what I mean
All through the week it's quiet as a mouse
And on Saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay the usual admission
If you're a cook, a waiter or a good musician
So if you happen to be just passin' by
Stop in at the Saturday Night Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the main stem
Foolin' around just me and him
We decided we could use a little something to eat
So we went to a house on Rampart Street
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease
And a lush little Miss said, "Come in, please"
Before we could even bat an eye
We were right in the middle of a big fish fry
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now the folks was havin' the time of their life
Sam was jivin' Jimmie's wife
Over in the corner was a beat up grand
Being played by a big fat piano man
Now some of these folks wore expensive frocks
Some of them had on bobbie socks
Everybody was nice and high
At particular Saturday Night Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me, we fell right in
We hollered, "Let the joy begin"
Now we're thinking we could get a good place to play
But the party was already on the way
All of a sudden the lights went low
And everybody lay straight for the front door
Man, I was so scared I didn't know where to go
I stood right there and I fell on the floor
It was rockin', it was rockin'
I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now the women was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'
The bottles was flyin', and the fish was smellin'
Way up above all the noise we made
Somebody hollered, "You better get outta here, this is a raid"
I didn't know we was breaking the law
But somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
They had us blocked off from front to back
They was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potatoes in a sack
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
I knew I could get away if I had a chance
But I was shakin' like I had that St. Vitus dance
I tried to crawl in under a bath tab
When a policeman said, "Where are you goin' there, bub?"
Now they got us out of there like a house on fire
They put us all in the black Maria
They might have missed a pitiful few
But they got both me and my buddy too
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition
They booked each one of us on suspicion
My chick came down and went my bail
And finally got me outta that rotten jail
If you ever want to get a fist in your eye
Just mention a Saturday Night Fish Fry
I don't care how many fish in the sea
But don't ever mention a fish to me
It was rockin', it was rockin'
