Well now it's three o'clock in the morning and I can't even close my eyes
Three o'clock in the morning baby and I can't even close my eyes
Can't find my baby and I can't be satisfied
I've looked around me and my baby she can't be found
I've looked all around me, people and my baby she can't be found
You know if I don't find my baby, I'm going down to the Golden Ground
That's where the men hang out
Goodbye, everybody, I believe this is the end
Oh goodbye everybody, I believe this is the end
I want you to tell my baby, tell her please please forgive me
Forgive me for my sins
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every Friday I come straight back home with all my pay.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago.
The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve to put me out.
Way back yonder in the days of old,
The men was working but
not saving any dough.
Then came a woman looking real cool.
She said to
herself, 'Now that's my fool.'
I'm gonna ball tonight.
I'm gonna ball tonight.
Well, I
can't break the rule because
Every man is some woman's fool.
Met a girl on the avenue,
She was shy and I was blue,
Like
a teacher and a student in school,
Looked at me and said, 'You're my
fool.'

Well I can't break the rule

Every man is some woman's fool.

It's so much easier to run
away.
My mind is spent, my body sold,
Never knowing which way to

Won't you let me see
If we
can get closer.
Every day,
I wanna be felt by you.
I wanna be touched by you.
I wanna
be loved by you.
I wanna be anything you want me to.
Don't mean nothing when you're growing old.
Nobody knows what
the future holds.
I am left with a bitter taste,
Torn away from that
beautiful chase.
I'm always there for you baby,
Won't you let me see
If we
can get closer.
Every day,

I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is both too slow
I'm going back to the border
Little girl, where I'm better known
'Cause you haven't done nothing
Drove a good man away from home
When the moon peek over the mountain
Little girl, I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day
Give me one more kiss darling
Little girl, just before I go
Because when I leave this time
I won't be back no more
I've got the key to the highway
Little darling, I got to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Well, I've told you for the last time,
Told you for the last time.
I'm gonna turn on my love light,
Let it shine one more time,
Let it shine, shine, shine for the last time.
There's gonna be a big change made, and I'm gonna make it.
This time I'm gonna lay it on the line.
I got a lot to give when you're woman enough to take it, oh yeah.
I'm gonna turn on my love light,
Let it shine one more time,
Let it shine, shine, shine for the last time.
I sure want to love you baby, baby if you'd only let me.
You only pick me up just to put me down.
I finally let my mind make a decision, oh yeah.
I'm gonna start my wheels a-spinnin',
Let 'em turn one more time,
Let 'em turn, oh yeah, for the last time.
Well, I've told you for the last time,
Told you for the last time.
I'm gonna turn on my love light,
Let it shine one more time,
Let it shine, shine, shine for the last time.

I am so in love for once in my life.
In my dreams, I've known you many times before.
And I so want you to be my dear wife,
As only you can satisfy me any more,
And only you can love me more.
I'm lovin' you lovin' me lovin' you.
It's all the same; when loving, two together makes one.
Everybody sing la, la la la, la la la, la la la.
It's all the same, and we are one.
I will give you a world of your dreams if you want them.
I can feel the power when you're standing there.
Someone sent me you; oh lord, I will thank him,
And all the rest, it just don't matter,
And all the rest and all the rest.
Chorus
Loving you.
You know I love you.

Out on an open highway,
Such a lovely day but something’s wrong.
Something, something’s gotta be wrong.
I just left home this morning,
This old road keeps rolling on and on.
Rolling, rolling on and on.
Won’t somebody help me?
Won’t somebody help me?
Won’t somebody help me?
I’ve never been so lonesome and long way from home,
Never been lonesome and long way,
Never been lonesome and long way from home.
Chorus
by Bonnie Bramlett and Eric Clapton
I'm just a bad boy, long long ways from home.
I'm just a bad boy, long long ways from home.
But I ain't got nobody to bury me when I'm dead and gone.
Well I'm the cat that scratches and I'm like a dog that bites.
I'll be your box of matches, baby, when you need a light.
Chorus
I used to have a little girl, only 16 years old,
But her mom and dad put me way out, way out in the cold.
I can't stay here no longer, my luck is running slow.
Gotta keep on moving but I ain't got no place to go.
Chorus
The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
I looked out my window, the rain was falling down in sheets.
My baby left me this morning, Lord knows I don't know the reason why.
My baby left me this morning, I don't know the reason why.
And everytime I think about it, I hang my head and cry.
The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
I love my baby, I hate to see us part.

Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.
She's a witch of trouble in electric blue,
In her own mad mind she's in love with you.
With you.
Now what you gonna do?
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.
She's some kind of demon messing in the glue.
If you don't watch out it'll stick to you.
To you.
What kind of fool are you?
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea,
She would make a scene for it all to be
Ignored.
And wouldn't you be bored?
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.
Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew.
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.
I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
Than to stay around here if you're gonna pull me down
Well I give you all my money, everything I own
Well I give you all my money, everything I own
And some day I'm gonna get lucky
And down the road you know I'm gone
Well I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
Well I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
Than to stay around here when you're gonna pull me down
You know I give you all my money
Yeah little girl, everything I own

Well today I'm gonna get lucky
And down the road you know I'm gone

You don't know me, baby,
Like I know myself.
I just want to love you, baby,
But you leave me on the shelf.
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
But you don't even know my name.
Let me tell you something,
I swear to God it's true.
If you give your love to me,
I'm gonna give it all to you.
You know it's true.

They may kill me, baby,
And bury me like they do.
My body will lie, but my spirit's gonna find
Only you.

Go down easy and let me take my time.
Go down easy and let me take my time.
Rock me slow till I lose my mind.
Roll it over, let's take it from behind.

You don't know how much it means to be here in your arms.
Roll it over.
Roll it over.

Don't change your mind,
I ain't got the time to sit and wonder.
I'm doing fine.
If you decide to leave, I won't go under.
You know I've come this far without you;
It won't be too hard to be alone.
I've got choices all around me,
So I won't be spending too much time at home.
Girl, I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you, baby.
I can't forgive you,
Instead I'm gonna miss you, baby.
No, don't say a word.
I already heard that you don't love me.
In your state of mind,
I don't need to hear your side of the story.
Your friends all said we had a future
And I don't think I really want to know.
My friends keep telling me to lose you
And how glad they'll be when you decide to go.
Chorus
I broke my back to make you happy.
Sometime, somehow, someone's got to care.
If you think you're better off without me,
Just remember, it's a dirty world out there.
Chorus
I'm gonna miss the ground you walk on,
Gonna miss the air you breathe.
I'm just not quite happy, baby,
'bout your crazy plans to leave.
This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself.
This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself.
Can't get the one you love, have to use somebody else.
I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go.

Guess you don't love me, babe, loving mister so-and-so.
Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold?
Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold?
I guess you don't love me, gonna pack my things and go.
Face is turning white
From the salt of all my tears.
Face is turning white
From the salt of all my tears.
Lost everything I had,
I got to face five lonely years.
Everybody got a trouble;
I got to live with mine right now.
Everybody got a trouble;

I'm gonna take a little walk now, people,
And I'll try to get along somehow.
I'll be leaving right now, people;
I got to stop now and figure out my time.
I got to get a bus, people;
I got to stop now and figure out my time.
I believe with a feeling,
I got to move on down the line.

You said you were hurtin'
You almost lost your mind
The man you love
He hurts you all the time
When things go wrong
Wrong with you
It hurts me too
He loves another woman
But I love you
But you love him
I don't know what to do
When things go wrong
Wrong with you
It hurts me too
You love him more
When you should love him less
Why sneak up behind him
And take his mess?
When things go wrong
Wrong with you
It hurts me too
It hurts me too
Play your heart out
Now, he'd better leave you
Or you should put him down
I just can't stand
To see you pushed around
When things go wrong
Wrong with you
It hurts me too
So goodbye, baby
I've got to leave you now
I'm gonna pack my bags
And move on down the line
When things go wrong with you
When things go wrong
So wrong with you
When things go wrong
Wrong with you
It hurts me too

Early in the morning, 'bout the break of day,
That's when my baby went away.
Come back, baby, I wish you would,
Try and love me, you won't do no good.
Walking and a-kissing late at night;
I tell you now baby, I feel just right.
Come now baby, whatcha trying to do?

A way to make my heart beat faster.
Is this heaven we're living in?
A way to make my life worth living.
I've fallen in love again.
I've got to ask you now, baby:
What would you say if I told you that I'm falling in love again?

As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.

I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car.
I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are.

I stopped to think if I could place his frame.
When he tipped his hat I knew his name.

When I get out on the dancing floor,
There ain't no stopping for an hour more.
I go rocking up and down and around and round.
I go reeling to the beat of that crazy sound.
I can't stop, I want to kiss your pretty lips,
'Cause I know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips.
I can't stop my feet and I can't stop my hands
When I hear the sound of a rock 'n' roll band.
Gotta rock, gotta roll, gonna jump and shout;
Nobody better come and turn me out.
I'm staying all night till I get my kicks,
'Cause you know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips.
I want you and you want me.
We're gonna dance all night till we both feel free.
We'll shake and we'll shimmy right across the floor.
When it gets late, we'll dance out the door.
You better get ready with your pretty lips,
'Cause you know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips.

They're tearing us apart,
They're breaking up my heart.
I knew it from the start:
Your friends are tearing us apart.

You know my heart is burning, it's burning everyday.
You know I love you, baby, no one else will do.
Why don't you reconsider, do what I want you to?

What else can a poor boy do?
But my world will be right
When love comes over you
Lately I've been talking in my sleep
I can't imagine what I'd have to say
Except my world will be right
When love comes back your way
I've always been
One to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who cares just for me
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you

When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay the rent
Talkin' 'bout hard times

Who was always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down
Talkin' 'bout hard times
Hard times

There'll be no more sorrow
When I pass away
And no more hard times
No more hard times

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

But I'm not a lonely baby, baby.
You always surround.
[Chorus]
Never in doubt about you,
I know that you're mine.
I can't lose this feeling.
You stay on my mind.
[Chorus 2x]
Get a little better.
Get, get a little better.
by Maceo Merryweather
Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
But someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
You're on my mind every place I go.
How much I love you, nobody know.
Yeah, someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
So many days since you went away.
I've had to worry both night and day.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
So many nights since you've been gone.
I've been worried, grieving my life alone.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
So that's my story and this is all I've got to say to you:
Bye bye, baby, I don't care what you do.
'Cause someday darling,
I won't have to worry my life any more.
Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
Oh, but someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
Wrapping paper in the gutter
Moving slowly as the wind on the sea
Faces calling, waves moving
In your picture on a wall of a house of old times
(Can you hear me?)
Can you hear me?
(Can you hear me?)
Wandering sadly
In the city, feeling pretty
Down and out and making love to you on the shore
(Ruined buildings, faces empty)
In the picture as I gaze ahead and don't see
(That they're calling)
That they're calling
(That they're calling)
Wandering sadly
Shattered windows, stairs to nowhere
(Hear you calling)
Hear you calling
(Hear you calling)
As I wander so sadly
Wish I knew what you'd done to me
Turned me on, things I never knew
It's all broken, weeds are growing
Wish I was going home to the house by the shore
(Where you loved me)
Where you loved me
(Where you loved me)
Loved me so sadly
Someday I'll get back, somehow I'll do it
I'll arrive there and you'll be there to meet me
(Walk together, tread the weeds down)
Kiss again in the picture on the wall
(Where I loved you)
In the old house
(Where I loved you)
By gail collins and felix pappalardi
Outside my window is a tree.
Outside my window is a tree.
There only for me.
And it stands in the gray of the city,
No time for pity for the tree or me.
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me.
Is there a reason for today?
Is there a reason for today?
Do you remember?
I can hear all the cries of the city,
No time for pity for a growing tree.
Chorus
First verse
Chorus
by Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock
Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday.
How can I ever hope to forget you?
Won't you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face?
I know you're going to break my heart if I let you.
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Like a moth to a flame,
Like a song without a name,
I've never been the same since I met you.
Like a bird on the wing,
I've got a brand new song to sing,
I can't keep from singing about you.
Chorus
I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me.
I might have to break the law when I find you.
Stop running away;
I've got a better game to play,
You know I can't go on living without you.
Chorus
It don't take no fool to love you
You stand out in any crowd
And I know men who want to own you
I can hear them talking loud
There ain't no point in just me talking
Who am I telling you?
But you don't got yourself together
And you can bet whithin in you
I just realised
I just realised
Who am I telling you?
You never lose, you are a winner
It's a simple thing for you
If I'm standing at a crossroad
You know exactly what to do
From this moment on I loved you
Somewhere in between I learned
I'm just reaching out to touch you
It's the point of no return
I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?
I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?
Honey, when we're together,
It seems like we've both got a whole lot of nothing to say.
But I know if we try, we can work it out someday, good lord.
I know if we try, we can work it out someday.
[Chorus:]
Because I believe if there's a will,
Sure enough, honey, there's a way.
If there's a will, yeah yeah,
Sure enough, honey, there's a way, oh lord.
There ain't no need to worry,
'Cause nothing's wrong, it just ain't the time or place, no no.
And you can believe nearly every word I say, oh yeah.
You can believe nearly every word I say.
[Chorus]
Got to get a thing together;
Little less talking, we have lots more to say.
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway.
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway.
[Chorus 3x]
(Robert Johnson)
When you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side [2x]
Give her all of your spare time, try to love and treat her right
I mistreated my baby, but I can't see no reason why [2x]
Anytime I think about it, I just wring my hands and cry
Wonder, could I bear apologize, or would she sympathize with me
Mmm, or would she sympathize with me
She's a brownskin woman, just as sweet as a girlfriend can be
Mmm, baby I may be right or wrong
Baby, it your opinion, I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friend, baby, then you enemies can't do you no harm
When you got a good friend that will stay right by your side [2x]
When my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get
full of tears,
Oh, when my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes
get full of tears,
You know you've only been gone 24 hours, baby,
Oh, but
it seems like, it seems like a million years.
Now if I ever mistreated you baby,
You know I didn't mean no
harm.
Oh, if I ever mistreated you baby,
God knows I didn't mean no
harm.
You know, I'm just a little country boy, baby,
And I was raised
right down on the cotton farm.
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Babe, that I don't know
what to do.
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Baby, I don't know, I
don't know what to do.
Oh, I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing now,
baby,
Babe, and it's all on, it's all on account of you.
When this war is over it will be a better day
When this war is over it will be a better day
But it won't bring back those poor boys in the grave
Ain't no sense in the action, killing people all the time
Ain't no sense no the action, killing people all the time
When it happen on the street we call that a crime
These old boys are leading us somewhere - that is plain to see
I don't know much of nothing, still it troubles me
Got to find another way, this one ain't the way to go
Got to get a plan, change our ways or no...
When this war is over it will be a better day
When this war is over it will be a better day
But it won't bring back those poor boys in the grave
When this war is over, it will be a better day
When this war is over, it will be a better day
But it won't bring back those poor boys in the grave

Dainties in a jam-jar, parson’s colour in the sky.
Water in a fountain doesn’t get me very high.
Moby dick and albert making out with captain bligh.
So you know what you know in your head.
Will you, won’t you, do you, don’t you know when a head’s dead?
What a bringdown!
Winter leader lou is grownin’ ’ampsteads in the north.
Betty b’s been wearin’ daisies since the twenty-fourth.
Wears a gunner when there’s one more coming forth.
And you know what you know in your head.
Will you, won’t you, do you, don’t you wanna go to bed?
What a bringdown!
There’s a tea-leaf about in the family,
Full of nothin’ their fairy tale.
There’s a tea-leaf a-floatin’ now for rosalie,
They’ll believe in ding-dong bell.
Take a butchers at the dodginesses of old bill.
Aristotle’s orchestra are living on the pill.
One of them gets very very prickly when he’s ill.
And you know what you know in your head.
Will you, won’t you, do you, don’t you wanna make more bread?

Well all right, so I’ve been foolish.
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low.
Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.
Well all right, so I’m not working.
Well all right, let people say
That those foolish kids can’t be ready
For the love that comes their way.

Chorus
by Jack Bruce
Please open your eyes.
Try to realize.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.
Please open your mind.
See what you can find.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.
by Don Williams
There's no cause to think that I won't stay;
Haven't I been with you all the way?
There's no time like now to make amends.
After all, we are more than friends.
This could be the time for you and me.
We could go wherever we should be.
So don't put words between us we shouldn't say,
And don't be acting halfway
When you know we're all the way.
There are times when I don't see the light.
I don't know if what I do is right.
But when I'm wrong, it's never meant for you,
So don't confuse my love with what I do.
Chorus
by Buddy Guy
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
I got my eye on you.
You steal my love and go away.
Don't tell me you'll see me another day.
Chorus
You've gone and left me, left me here to cry.
You know I love you, know you're my desire.
Chorus
I give you all my love, everything too,
Fine Cadillac, tell me what you gonna do.
Chorus
People are talking all over town.
You say you don't love me, you're gonna put me down.
Chorus
Tell me what's the matter, what you gonna do?
You say you're going to quit me then you say we're through.
Chorus
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
I got my eye on you.
Now my friend Bill was just a working lad
And he liked to have his fun.
He'd like to find a girl and get comfortable
When his working day was done.
He would spend all his money on a Friday night,
Wake up in the morning broke,
But he had a run in with little Lucy then;
Believe me that ain't no joke.
[Chorus:]
Watch out for Lucy,
Though she may look frail.
Say excuse me, Lucy,
Darling don't you use me;
I don't want to land in jail.
She started out working in a cafe,
Picking money up on the side.
She was free and easy, everybody's friend,
But she couldn't be satisfied.
So now in walks Bill with his cash in his hand,
His heart upon his sleeve.
We tried to warn him about her ways,
We never did succeed.
[Chorus]
Well, the trap was sprung for poor old Bill;
You should have heard little Lucy sing
'I want a Cadillac car, a beautiful home,
And a thousand dollar ring.'
They found our hero in the gutter
With a diamond ring and a gun.
He'd done it for the love of Lucy
And ended up on the run.
[Chorus 2x]
by Jerry Williams
How can I explain
This feeling that's true?
Honey, I can't hardly stand it,
I wanna make love to you.
I ain't gonna try to tell you
How it's made me so blue,
Sitting alone here and wondering.
I wanna make love to you.
Where the storms fall from the heavens
And the rivers, they stop their flow,
If you just stop and talk to me,
Honey, that's where I belong.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
Please, stop and tell me,
Tell me you want me too.
Come on, baby,
I wanna make love to you.
Chorus
Oh, darling.

Chorus
Walk out if it doesn't feel right,
I can tell you're only lying.
If you've got something better tonight
Then don't mess up my mind with your crying.
[Chorus:]
Just walk out in the rain,
Walk out with your dreams,
Walk out of my life if you don't feel right.
And catch the next train;
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain.
I have come from so far away
Just to put a ring on your finger.
If you've said all that you've got to say
Then please don't feel the need to linger.
[Chorus]
It's raining outside of the city;
My poor feet have walked till they're sore.
If you don't want my love, it's a pity.
I guess I can't see you no more.
[Chorus 2x]
Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes,
You know 'bout that babe, had them old walkin' blues.
Woke up this morning, I feel 'round for my shoes,
You know 'bout that babe, Lord, I had them old walkin' blues.
Leavin' this morning, I had to go ride the blinds.
I've been mistreated, don't mind dying.
This morning, I had to go ride the blinds,
I've been mistreated, Lord, I don't mind dying.
People tell me walkin' blues ain't bad;
Worst old feeling I most ever had.
People tell me the old walkin' blues ain't bad.
Well it's the worst old feeling, Lord, I most ever had

You leave a trail of tears wherever you go.
One of us will hold you, the other one won't.
But I could never share your love or leave it behind.
Break his heart, not mine.
Do you remember tender moments we shared?
How could this true affection vanish into thin air?
He's not worth the trouble, baby; he's just a waste of your time.
Oh, break his heart, not mine.
Don't you walk away,
You know you're gonna miss me.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
You're gonna miss me,
You're gonna miss my love.
So don't you walk away,
Don't you walk away, walk away.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
So I'll be waiting in the backroom, baby, when you kiss him goodbye.
Oh, break his heart not mine, but...
Chorus
Don't you walk away, walk away.
Oh don't you walk away.
I know you're gonna miss my love.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
Don't you walk away.
You're gonna miss my love.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
I'm going to sing you a song, listen to me.
I said it's all about a man.
Nobody, I said nobody hardly knows him.
Say it with me: nobody hardly knows him.
Say it one more time: nobody hardly knows him.
Good morning Robert Johnson son.
You built your life before your song was sung.
People agree and now you're number one.
So sad to think we had to wait so long.
It keeps on getting better every day,
And maybe someday soon, people will say,
Ain't nobody here but good people.
Ain't nobody here but good people.
Ain't nobody here but good people.
No, nobody here.
No, nobody here.
No, nobody here.
No, nobody here.

We can still barrelhouse, baby, 'cause it's on the river side

Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, just you and I.
A one way ticket to ecstasy,
Away on down, just follow me.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, now we can catch the wind.
Travelin' light, just let your mind pretend.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, just you and I.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.

It's too bad I don't love you, for you have worried me night and day.
It's too bad I don't love you, for you have worried me night and day.
Till my heart begins to stammer and my hair is turning gray.
It's too bad I don't need you, because we get along so good.
It's too bad I don't need you, because we get along so good.
You must be thinking, 'bout this time, that my poor heart is made of wood.
It's too bad I don't miss you, 'cause you are always on my mind.
It's too bad I don't miss you, 'cause you are always on my mind.
I want to stay around your circle and learn to love you all the time.

When this world got me feeling low
I don't need nowhere else to go
Cause I get all the love I need, from
Three little girls
We're in the garden collecting snails
On the bed reading fairy tales
I get all I'll ever need from
Three little girls
Cause all my world was sad and weary
All my days were winding down
Then you showed me a better way
My three little girls
[Instrumental bridge]
Lord, you've put me to the test
And lead me through the wilderness
Then you showed me a brighter day
With Three little girls

Cause all my world was sad and weary
All my days were winding down
You showed me a better way

Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.
There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.
There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.
Oh, I am a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can run without fear.
If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite.
Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my sight.
No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea.
'Cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me.
Chorus
It is burning.
It is burning.
You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow.
I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow.
Gypsy woman said to me, "One thing you must bear in your mind:
You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime."
Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart.
And down at the core is the hottest part.
We can run without fear.
It is burning.
It is burning.

There’s a full time reservation
Made in a bar at the railway station,
And there’s a story, a kind of fable,
On a card at the corner table.
On it is a message; been there some time.
It starts off, "the coffee tasted so fine..."
It says, "one day, this may find you,
These few words may just remind you.
We sat here together just to pass time;
You said how the coffee tasted so fine."
It goes on to say, "i love you.
If you should find this I must hear from you."
It gives a number but the name has faded away.
All that is left are just the words, "maybe someday..."
That’s the story and the fable;
Never leave alone from a corner table.
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo.
You hold my hand when I've lost my way.
Have to bring me back when I've gone astray.
Someone to heal me when I'm in lots of pain.
That's what my man is for.
To help to tell me when I've done wrong,
Someone to help me to keep going on;
And when I get weak I know he'll make me strong.
That's what my man is for.
Someone to be my companion,
Someone who'll understand me,
Someone who'll stand along right here beside me
And hold my trembling hand.
I know I need someone to bring the lights to me on my darkest day.
Someone to lighten and brighten my every way
And give me peace, give me peace, and close the door.
That's what my man is for.
[Chorus]
Come on and bring the lights to me on my darkest day.
I need someone to help me to lighten my every way
And give me peace, give me peace, and close the door.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
I need someone, I need someone.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
I know that that's what I expect out of him.
And I know that's what most men do for their women.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
Tell me that you love me as often as you can;
Let me know that I'm your one and only man.
Give me confirmation with every passing day.
A love as sweet as ours will never fade away.
Catch me when I'm falling, help me when I'm blue.
Don't you realize that I'd do the same for you?
Find me when I'm lonely, carry me back home.
Treat me gently and my heart will never roam.
Straighten me out, pull me through,
Let me know that I'm still in love with you.
Be my woman, be my friend,
Stick with me until the very end.

I couldn't sleep last night
I was sittin' by my telephone
All the time wastin'
All the love you've never shown
But someday, someday darlin'
You will realise I'm alone
The last time I saw you,
You promised me you'd come
But time is runnin' out babe
You never call at all
But life's so long babe
Sittin' by my telephone
But someday, someday darlin'
You will realise I'm alone
A modern man with an old-fashioned heart.
One look at her and I fell apart.
I was always the one playing it cool.
I got caught in the act, now there's no turning back.
[Chorus:]
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
A long black dress and the call of the wild.
I was a fool to think she was just a child.
Out of my mind, out of control.
Knew that feeling too well, tried to run but I fell.
[Chorus]
I never meant to feel this way,
Now I always want to stay...
[Chorus]
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
By jack bruce and pete brown
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here.
Don’t let them take me to where streams are red.
I want to stay here and sleep in my own bed.
Need all your loving, long blonde hair,
Don’t let them take me ’cause I’m easily scared.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
Chorus
I got this great need, the need to stay alive.
Not ashamed of my creed, I’ve got to survive.
So come on baby, don’t go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
I got this need, the need to stay alive.
Not ashamed of my creed, I’ve got to survive.
So come on baby, don’t go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
Chorus
I got this thing, I’ve got to keep it sharp.
Don’t go to places where it won’t shine in the dark.
So come on baby, don’t go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
(traditional)
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
I looked over Jordan, what do I see,
Coming for to carry me home.
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.

By ginger baker and janet godfrey
Who wants the worry, the hurry of city life.
Money, nothing funny; wasting the best of our life.
Sweet wine, hay making, sunshine day breaking.
We can wait till tomorrow.
Car speed, road calling, bird freed, leaf falling.
We can bide time.
Second verse
First verse
Coming to me in the morning, leaving me at night
Coming to me in the morning, leaving me alone
You've got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard
Running to me a-cryin' when he throws you out
Running to me a-cryin', on your own again
You've got that pure feel, such good responses
But the picture has a mustache
You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face
Coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing
You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face
You're coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing
So many fantastic colors, I feel in a wonderland
Many fantastic colors makes me feel so good
You've got that pure feel, such good responses
by Eric Clapton, Doyle Bramhall II & Susannah Melvoin
Living, loving, ain't going to waste my life.
Singing music, someday the sun don't shine.
I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
Give it all up, surrender thankfully.
Fall down on my knees, my hands open wide.
I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.
Keep on pushing, getting closer to peace of mind.
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.
Living is so sweet now with Superman inside.
No more running, ain't going to hide away.
I'm standing outside in the pouring rain.
'Cause I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."

(Robert Johnson)
Everytime I'm walkin', down the streets, some pretty mama start breakin' down with me
Stop breakin' down, yes stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby, hoo hoo, it'll make you lose your mind.
I can't walk the streets now con, consolate my mind,
some no-good woman she starts breakin' down
Stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down
The stuff I got it gon' bust your brains out, baby, hoo hoo, it'll make you lose your mind
Now, you Saturday night women's, you love to ape and clown,
you won't do nothin' but tear a good man reputation down
Stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby, hoo hoo, it'll make you lose your mind
Now, I give my baby, now, the ninety-nine degree,
she jumped up and throwed a pistol down on me
Stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down
Stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby, hoo hoo, it'll make you lose your mind
I can't start walkin' down the streets, but some pretty mama don't start breakin' down with me
Stop breakin' down, yeah stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby, hoo hoo, it'll make you lose your mind
[Instrumental]
Oh baby, look how you got me standin' 'round crying.
Oh baby, look how you got me standin' 'round crying.
Lord I love you little girl, you're always resting on my mind.
Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile.
Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile.
You got so many men, I'm afraid you may get me killed.
Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (No, don't get me killed, honey!)
Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (Oh man, leave that woman alone!)
When I was deep in love with you, little girl,
you were just sweet as an apple on a tree.
by Eric Clapton

I got up this morning and fell out of bed
Trying to make it to the door.
The wind was high, I didn't have much time,
Trying to find a man to score.
And then you came up on the other side
To brighten up my day.
I knew right away
That this could be my day.
Someone like you
Could make me change my ways.
Someone like you
Could turn the nights into days.
There you were, standing
On a crowded street.
You looked so good, though the air was bad,
Walking through the fog.
Chorus
I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.
I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.

Chorus
I've got to ride that lonesome train.
My heart is heavy with aches and pain.
I said but someday, someday baby,
After a while, you will be sorry.
Every day my clouds are grey;
It takes you to roll all those clouds away.
I said but someday, someday baby,
After a while, you will be sorry.
Trouble, trouble, trouble on my mind.
Trouble, trouble, way down the line.
I don't need, I don't need no sympathy,
So babe, babe, don't you, don't you pity me.
I may be blue, but I don't mind,
Because I know way down the line,
I said someday, someday baby,
After a while, you will be sorry.

Smile, though your heart is aching.
Smile, even though it's breaking.
Though there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by...
If you smile through your fears and sorrows.
Smile and maybe tomorrow.
You'll see the sun come shining through.
If you just light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.
That's the time you must keep on trying.
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile, come on and smile.
If you just smile.
by Bonnie Bramlett and Eric Clapton(instrumental)
Well, if you're looking for a winner, then you know you've got to go with me.
I've got more ashes than Wednesday and you know I can brew my tea.
I'm fixing to teach you everything I know,
I'll take you with me baby everywhere I go.
If I can catch you for a minute I know you'll take a chance with me.
[Chorus:]
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you think that you could save a little time with me?
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company?
I've seen you speeding down the highway when you ought to dig the scenery.
And you can wolf down your dinner in the time it takes to drink my tea.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer you always go too fast for me.
[Chorus]
I think that you're getting too old to be running around,
I think that it's time you thought about settling down,
So slow down, slow down Linda,
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer, you always go too fast for me.
[Chorus 2x]
By jack bruce and janet godfrey
I’m a sleepy time baby, a sleepy time boy.
Work only maybe, life is a joy.
We’ll have a sleepy time time.
We’ll have a sleepy time time.
We’ll have a sleepy time time.
We’ll have a sleepy time time.
Sleepy time time, sleepy time all the time.
Asleep in the daytime, asleep at night.
Life is all playtime; working ain’t right.
Chorus
I have my sunday, that ain’t no lie.
But oh monday morning ain’t my favorite cry.
Chorus
By chester burnett
One summer day, she went away;
Gone and left me, she’s gone to stay.
She’s gone, but I don’t worry:
I’m sitting on top of the world.
All the summer, worked all this fall.
Had to take christmas in my overalls.
She’s gone, but I don’t worry:
I’m sitting on top of the world.
Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a freight train.
Going to leave this town; worked and got to home.
She’s gone, but I don’t worry:
I’m sitting on top of the world.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please.
I used to have plenty of money, the finest clothes in town,
But bad luck and trouble overtaken me, bound to get me down.
Please have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please.
Keep on working now, child.
Lord every morning.
Well if I've been a bad boy, baby, I declare I'll change my ways.
I don't want bad luck and trouble to follow me all my days.
Please have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please.
I've been working so hard,
Just came home from my job.
Looked down in my wallet,
Good God, I've been robbed.
Now where can my money be,
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I going to do now?
I got my bills to pay.
[Chorus:]
You got me singin' the blues,
And I'm paying all my dues.
You got me singin' the blues,
Ain't got nothing to lose.
I got to tell you I got the blues down in my pockets.
People, what did I say?
Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow,
Why I need my ten dollars today.
[Chorus]
Ain't no way to get even
Because, you know what I mean,
Every time I make me some money
Somebody's going to take it from me.
[Chorus 2x]

by Mark Knopfler
You say I'm the greatest and bound for glory.
Well the word is out and I learned.
I got the latest side of the story;
You're pulling out before you get burned.
Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone.
I never saw you breaking no law.
Stands to reason I've got to leave you alone.
What are you taking me for?
Setting me up to put me down.
Making me out to be your clown.
Setting me up to put me down.
You better give it up, baby,
Quit your messing around.
You think I care about your reaction,
You think I don't understand.
All you wanted was a piece of the action,
Now you talk about another man.
Chorus
Chorus
Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt
In a river of trouble about to drown
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
I'm on my way your lover
When you get cold
I'll be your cover
Don't have to worry
Because I'm here
Don't need to suffer
Because I'm here
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Reach out to me
For satisfaction
Call my name
Quick reaction
Hey hey hey
Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt
In a river of trouble about to drown
Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
