I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my momma's face
When her son's in the corner undone
She says that my life is over
Oh boy you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but I ignored her
Oh Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John
I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my Daddy's face
When his son's fallen over, undone
Well father my life is over
Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder
If I fall asleep will it be over...
Oh Dr John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John
What a I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
They say I'm a big heartbreaker
But Dr I never hurt you
Oh Dr John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
(Another day, another Break up)
Oh Dr John
I keep on trying
You're not alone
You're not alone
(Another day, another Break up)
Oh Dr John
You're not alone
Gotta be careful who I meet tonight
Put up the struggle, I'll put up the fight
Loving is different, so full of fear
Can't love you right, until the cure is here
It's physical breakdown
It's emotional blackmail
It's uncontrollable it affects us all
Here I am dr john
Here I am do you know what to do
The papers report in the wrong way
Don't care what they say, they don't educate
People look on it with a different view
Can you help me, explain
Do you know what to do
Used to be careless and so carefree
That old life-style will be the death of me
Dreading the system in this modern age
It's killing our people, must try to be brave
There must be something we can do
It's catching up, breaking through
There falls a silence across our land
The situation's out of hand
The situation is out of hand
Another bride, another groom
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
It's really killin' that he's so willin'
For makin' whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture that same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring
He's washin' dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks that's what you get folks
For makin' whoopee
Another year or maybe less
What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee
She sits alone, most every night
He doesn't phone, he doesn't write
He says he's busy but she says, ?Is he??
He's makin' whoopee
He doesn't make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, ?You'll pay six to her?
He says, ?Judge, suppose I fail?
Judge say, ?Budge, right into jail
You'd better keep her?, yeah, I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee
Than makin' whoopee
In a sentimental mood
I can see the sun come through my room
And your lovin' attitude
Is like a flame that comes and lights the gloom
On the wings of every kiss
Drifts a melody so strange and sweet
And the sentimental bliss is like a dream
My paradise complete
Rose petals seem to fall
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's a lighter thing
Since you made this night a thing divine
In a sentimental mood
I'm within a world, so heavenly
And I never dreamt that you'd be lovin' me
My paradise complete
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Another sentimental, sentimental mood
Another sentimental, a sentimental mood
Rose petals seem to fall
All like a dream to call you mine
My heart's a lighter thing
Since you made this night a thing divine
On the wings of every kiss
Drifts a melody so strange and sweet
In the sentimental bliss you make my dreams
My paradise complete
It's like a dream, my paradise complete
It's like a dream, my paradise complete
I'm still young, gettin' older by the minute

Giddy up, giddy up
And hold up, take a look around

I'm not the type of guy to show off for attention
About the fancy cars and jewels
But let me mention
Girls can't get enough of me
Record company lovin' me
Jealousy from all off the guys?
Hmmmm, probably
But that won't get in my way
It ain't stoppin' me
Always reach for the top, that's how it's gotta be
Don't worry 'bout the people that, hmmm, take a pop of me
So on with the show, hit the road here we go
To the east to the west
To the north and the south
They know A.C. and they know I get down

Giddy up, giddy up
And hold up, take a look around
Then roll out, roll outta town
Now wait, people wanna know about the way I live
And do my biz

But never the less, they try to attack me
Just to male me react
But Spectra's got my back
So come on ''cause we're strong
My label's got the ball rollin', they come correct
From hip hop to pop, go look and check
To the east to the west
To the north and the south
They know A.C. and they know I get down

To the north and the south
Keep my feet on the ground and they know that

Giddy up, giddy up
And hold up, take a look around
Now you say you ain’t never met my wife, you ain’t never seen her befo,’
Say you ain’t been hangin’ roun’ my crib; well here’s somethin’ I wanna know…
I wanna know what in the worl’ is goin’ down,
How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?
I got the baddest dog, he’ll bite anybody.
He bit my little brother, took a chunk out of my ol’ sweet li’l mother.
He bit the mailman – he sees him every day; he takes one look at you, he wanna jump up and play.
Now I ain’t got a clue as to what you puttin’ down, but
How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?
My dog’s dangerous; tried to set people straight;
I even bought a “BAD DOG” sign an’ hung it on the gate.
Here you come trippin’ up ‘bout a quarter of nine
Fulla dat Night Train wine, tryin’ to slide past the sign…
My dog been noddin’ off, ain’t payin’ you no mind.
That’s my dog, when I come home he don’t sleep THAT sound!
How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?
I still don’t like it, I don’t dig it one damn bit,
The way you an’ my dog’s so tight, somethin’ don’t fit!
I slipped through the alley, I called my dog,
Said, “get off your rusty duster, move a little faster to your ol’ master, you old cayute, you.”
He took one look at me, an’ he growled an’ he ran straight to you.
Now somebody’s been confusin’ my po’ hound.
An I wanna know what’s goin’ down.
How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?
(Clarinet Solo)
Maybe I better call up Jacoby & Myers, an’ you can take the fifth, amendment, that is.
You better stand up fo’ your rights, ‘cause you might not be standin' too long.
I’m gonna stop all this confusion. I’m gon’ fire that hound., shoot that dog down.
Then I’m gonna get busy mutilatin, strangulatin’ operatin’, an’ crematin’ my Ol’ Lady down at the cremation station.
Then I’m gonna torch that, too, and come right on after you!
You can give you heart an’ soul to charity; all the rest gonna belong to me.
I’m goin’ straight down to dat barber supply shop, get me a pearl handle, double edge, hollow ground, super blue blade, adjustable, stainless steel, honed edge, both blades on the same side so when I cut you once, you gonna bleed twice, goin’ an’ comin’. An’ if you don’ believe me, shake yo’ head; it’ll be singin’ “I ain’t got no body.”
‘Cause one night I did a little FBI Double-O-Seven-type investigatin’. You an’ my Ol' Lady thought I was gone, but I wasn’t gone. Dat’s why I have to separate you from your ground. An the only soun’ you gonna hear when you six feet in the ground:
In the night, in the night
In the night, ooh Lord, in the night
In the wee, wee hour, dreamin' night and day
Now, all them girls got sex appeal
Oh, really get to rockin', it's a real good deal
In the night, hey, in the night
In the wee, wee hours dreamin' night and day
It gettin' noon and we gettin' real frisky
Where all of us start gettin' high on whiskey
In the night, oh Lord, in the night
In the wee, wee hour dreamin' night and day
In the night, in the night
In the night, ooh Lord, in the night
Somebody changed the lock on my door, yeh now
And my key, it won't be fitting that lock no more
I've been standing on my little front porch all night long, mmmmm
Yeh now and I know something is definitely going on wrong
You know that the lights is dim, the shades are way down low
Yes now and I knocked and knocked until my poor fists got sore
I've been just standing on my front porch all night long, yeh now
And I know something is definitely going on wrong
Yeh now and I, I know you that changed the lock on my door
Yeh lord my key, it won't be fitting that lock no more
Yeh now now now
You done changed the lock lord key of mine my won't fit no more

(Jump sturdy)
Jump sturdy jump sturdy was her name
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
Jump sturdy jump sturdy was her name
(Jump sturdy)
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
(She came, she came)
People say she used to dance with the fish
Some people say she juggled fire in a dish
Clear day on the bayou of St. John
She raised her hands and caused a 'lectrical storm
She was a treacherous lady
She never met much harm
One day she ducked past the station house
She turned on the fire alarm
Somehow she got tangled up with Queen Julia Jackson
Down on Melba, meeting near rattle street
Queen Julia Jackson dropped a Zozola brick
And jump sturdy died with her soul in defeat
Jump sturdy, jump sturdy was her name
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
Jump sturdy, jump sturdy was her name
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
Jump sturdy, jump sturdy was her name
(Jump sturdy)
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
(She came, she came)

my sweet Lord
take me away
In the South Lands there's a city
Way down on the river
Where the women are very pretty
And all the men deliver
They got music
It's always playing
Start in the daytime, go all through the night
When you hear that music playing
Hear what I'm saying, it makes you feel alright
Grab somebody, come on down
Bring your paintbrush, we're painting the town
Oh, there's some sweetness going round
Catch it down in New Orleans
We got magic, good and bad
Make you happy or make you real sad
Get everything you want, lose what you had
Down here in New Orleans
Hey partner, don't be shy
Come on down and give us a try
You want to do some living before you die
Do it down in New Orleans
Stately homes and mansions
Of the Sugar Barons and the Cotton King
Rich people, poor people all got dreams
DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY WITH YOU
We could drink until we get real high,
Try to drink every bar dry.
Taste so good that high price stuff
You never know when you've had enough.
But there is nothin' I would rather do
Than to dance, dance the night away with you.
We could talk the whole darm night away
'cos we got so much to say.
I could talk holes in your head,
Remember every word I said.
But there is nothin' I would rather do
Than to dance, dance the night away with you.
We could climb a mountain high
or walk a valley deep
or we could get stoned
and fall off a lover's leap.
We could talk the whole darn night away
'cos we got so much to say.
I could talk holes in your head,
Remember every word I said.
But there is nothin' I would rather do
Than to dance, dance the night away with you.
There is nothin' I would rather do
Than to dance, dance the night away with you.
There is nothin' I would rather do
Than to dance, dance the night away with you.
There is nothing I would rather do
Than to dance, dance the night away with you.
I'm thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude night
If it's wrong to love you
Than my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side
I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight
Baby can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet your so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight
I'd give my all
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight
I'd give my all
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight
Give my all for your love

Cruella De Vil
Cruella De Vil
If she doesn't scare you
No evil thing will
To see her is to take a sudden chill
Cruella, Cruella De Vil
The curl of her lips
The ice in her stare
All innocent children had better beware
She's like a spider waiting for the kill
Look out for Cruella De Vil...
At first you think
Cruella is the devil
But after time has worn
Away the shock
You come to realize
You've seen her kind of eyes
Watching you underneath a rock
This vampire bat
This inhuman beast
She ought to be locked up
And never released
The world was such
a happy place until
Cruella, Cruella De Vil
Cruella, Cruella De Vil
If she doesn't scare you,
no evil thing will
To see her is to take a sudden chill

All innocent children had better beware
She's like a spider waiting for the kill
Look out for Cruella De Vil...
At first you think
Cruella is the devil
But after time has worn
Away the shock
You come to realize
You've seen her kind of eyes
Watching you from underneath a rock
This vampire bat
This inhuman beast
She ought to be locked up
And never released
The world was such
a happy place until

And I would throw me a big movie phone?
Alright

Stack-a-Lee shot Billy Lyons
He shot that boy so fast
The bullet went through Billy
it broke the bartender's glass
Stack-a-Lee went around the corner
Where they shot Stack in his side
Stack-a-Lee went stumbling
In his mother door
He said mother, oh mother
Won't you turn me, over slow
I've been jabbed in my left side
With a police 44
When all the ladies, heard that Stack
Oh Stack-a-Lee was dead
Some come dressed in orange colors
Some came dressed in red
Oh play it for him now
Stack-a Lee went to the devil
To identify poor Billy's soul
But the poor boy he was absent
He had gone down to Shango
Now the devil heard a rumbling
A mighty rumbling, under the ground
He said that must be Mr. Stack pointing Billy
Upsidedown
Now it seems that old devil
On top of his Devil chair
He said if you want Mr. Stack boy
Get him by yourself
Now I told you all my little story
And sang you all my little song
But Stack-a-Lee and Billy Lyons
I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
Sometime it gets kinda hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps me down to size
And I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know one thing about evil
I only want to know about love
I'm waiting for the plains to tumble
Waiting for the towns to fall
I'm waiting for the cities to crumble
Waiting till I hear the call
It's getting kinda hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
All around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotized
Yeah, I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
Yeah, I don't want to know one thing about evil
I only want to know about love
And I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know nothing about evil
I only want to know about love
Yeah, I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know one thing about evil
INTRO:
Teacher used to warn him, long, long time ago
Son, you're playin a losing game and your you're gonna lose again
When you play, you've got to pay, and you've got to pay some day
And when you do, the groundhogs gonna be shakin' your hand ...
VERSE:
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
Rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down
A SECTION:
His feet was in the market, his head was in the street
Lady pass him by, said "look at the market meat"
He grabbed her pocket book and said I wish you well
She pulled out a 32 and said, "I'll see you first in hell!"
VERSE:
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
Rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down
A SECTION:
He slipped into the cat house, made love to the stable
Madam caught him cold, said "I'll pay you when I be able"
Six months had passed and she stood all she could stand
She said when I'm through with you, "the groundhog gonna shake your hand"
VERSE:
And he rambled, didn't he ramble
Rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
Some people think they jive me
But I know they must be crazy
Don't see dey misfortune
Guess they just too lazy
J'suis le Grand Zombie
My yellow belt of choison
Ain't afraid of no tom cat
Fill my brains with poison
Walk thru the fire
Fly thru the smoke
See my enemy
At the end of dey rope
Walk on pins and needles
See what they can do
Walk on guilded splinters
With the King of the Zulu
Kon killy killy kon kon
Walk on guilded splinters
'Ti Alberta ('ti Alberta) ('ti Alberta) ('ti Alberta)
I rolled out my coffin
Drink poison in my chalice
Pride begins to fade
And y'all feel my malice
Put gris-gris on your doorstep
Soon you'll be in the gutter
Melt your heart like butter
A-a-and I can make you stutter
Kon killy killy kon kon
Walk on guilded splinters
Kon killy killy kon kon
Walk on guilded splinters
'Ti Alberta ('ti Alberta) ('ti Alberta) ('ti Alberta)
Kon killy killy kon kon
Walk on guilded splinters

Coco Robichaux
Dine at the soiree on the bayou...
A bright array of city lights as far as I can see The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights Lights that say forget her name in a glass of cherry wine Lights that offer other girls for empty arms like mine They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright But it's just a mask of loneliness behind those city lights The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night Did the God who put those stars above make those city lights Did he make a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right Are we just supposed to run and hide behind those city lights Lights that say forget her love in a different athmosphere Lights that lure are nothing but a masquarade for tears They paint a pretty picture but my arms can't hold them tight And I just can't say I love you to a street of city lights
Open your arms in the early mornin' When the light comes shinin' through Can't you hear my heart beat just for you? It's beating so wild, honey. And light comes shinin' Singin' my song And the band is playin' And the music is tried and true Can't you hear my heart beat just for you? It's beating so wild, honey. And light comes shinin' I'll be waiting for you I'll be waiting here for me Way up on the mountain Where the hillside rolls down to the sea Tell me what's real? What I feel inside Any time of day or night will do It's alright Can't you hear my heart beat just for you? It's beating so wild, honey. And your light comes shining through. Tell me what's real What I feel inside Any time of day or night will do It's alright. Can't you hear my heart beat just for you? It's beating so wild, honey. And the light comes shining through And the light comes shining through . . . It's beating so wild . . . And the light comes shining through And the light comes shining through.
No won't you come along with me
Down the Mississippi
We'll take trip to the land of
dreams
Floatin' down the river down to New Orleans
And the band'll be there to
meet us
Oh, friends to greet us
That's where the light and the dark folks meet
A heaven on earth - they call it Basin Street
Basin street is the street
Where
the elite always meet
Out in New Orleans, the land of dreams
You'll never know how
nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
And I'd rather be, yes-sir-ee
New Orleans the land of dreams
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues
ain't you glad you came with me
We went down the Mississippi
We took a trip
the land of dreams
We floated down the river
Down to New Orleans
Basin
street - that's the street
Where the elite always meet
Down in New Orleans, the land
of dreams
And you'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
I'd rather be, yes-sir-ee
New Orleans the land of dreams
Where I can lose my
There's been some lonely lonely nights
Oh baby yeah, since you've been gone
Lay my head, on my pillow
Oh I cried, all night long
The things, you used to say to me
You said that we, would never part
Well you know. I love you darling
Tell me why did we, have to part
Days been dark, since you've been gone
Baby could you please come back, and bring the light
If you had only compromised
Life is a book that we study
Some of it's leaves bring a sigh
There it was written by my buddy
That we must part, you and I
Nights are long since you went away
And I think about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy
Nobody quite so true
I miss your voice, touch of your hand
I long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you
Your buddy misses you
I miss your voice, the touch of your hand
And I long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you
Drunk out on cris living in a while
on a cricking road when a.smile
never came where I've been
owing that I've seen you again
I was always ready
to make a play
now you're so meet together away
dues I pay is my greatest singin'
will I ever see you again
see you again
see you again
No as the hand in a blunt out of hill
.don't you .I said out
try to break us all we do is be
a love that will never end
will never end
Better move fast, gotta travel light
Don't let nothing pass, when you're in the night
Wonder who's the who, if you don't know what's the what
History... make me wonder ...
Got my attention, on all that I've witnessed
My nuclear vision is a everybody's bizness
We're living here in the kingdom of izzness
Can't find our ... no matter what we do
Here... didn't have a clue
History's a mystery, of the chosen few
Don't matter if you moving ... of jew
...mason, in the all voodoo
My nuclear vision is a everybody's bizness
We're living here in the kingdom of izzness
The world is lost, everybody's bizness
The world is lost, is everybody's bizness
In the kingdom of the izzness
Can I get a witness? Yeah, yeah
Don't know who we are, where we are
In the middle of nowhere and I . far
...we can, when where we stand
Lost in confusion, I hope that somebody knows a plan
Got my attention, on all that I've witnessed
My nuclear vision is a everybody's bizness
We're living here in the kingdom of izzness
Better move fast, gotta travel light
Don't let nothing pass, when you're in the night
Wonder who's the who, if you don't know what's the what
History... make me wonder what
Got my attention, on all that I've witnessed
My nuclear vision is a everybody's bizness
You ain't been blue, no, no, no
You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood indigo
That old funky feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues"
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin' when lights are down low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Ain't nobody cares about me
I'm just a soul bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
I say you ain't been blue, no, no, no
You ain't been blue 'til you've had the touch of that mood indigo
That old feelin' sure goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues"
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin' when lights are way down low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Ain't nobody cares about me
I'm just a soul bluer than blue could ever be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die
Always get me that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin' when lights are down low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Ain't nobody cares about me
I'm just a soul bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
Such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
Such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right
Your eyes caught mine, and at a glance
You let me know that this was my chance
But you came here with my best friend Jim
And here I am, tryin' to steal you away from him
Oh, but if I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
And it's such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
It's such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right
Yeah, I couldn't believe my ear
And my heart just skipped a beat
When you told me to take you walkin' down the street
Oh yeah, you came here with my best friend Jim
Here I am, I'm stealin' you away from him
Oh, but if I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
Gather around me, everybody gather around me
While I testify, I feel the summer coming on me
And the topic will be same, that's what I'm against
If you wanna hear my story then just chill out
Don't be uptight while I review the attitude of doing right
You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to that minimum
Have faith, a pandemonium
Libel to walk up on the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Talking about Jonah in the Whale, Noah in the arc
What did they do
When everything looked so dark?
Then they said
"We better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between, no
Don't mess with mister in between"
To illustrate my last remark
Talking about Jonah in the Whale, Noah in the arc
What did they do
When everything looked so dark?
Then they said
"We better accentuate the positive
Eliminate all the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between, oh
Don't mess with mister in between"
Don't you ever mess with mister inbetween
Don't you mess with mister inbetween
Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder, she digs me
Out cattin' that satin doll
Baby, shall we go out skippin?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin'
Speaks Latin, that satin doll
She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be
I'll give it a whirl but I ain't for no girl catching me
Switch a rooney
Telephone numbers, well, you know
Doin' my rumbas with uno
One, two
One, two, three
Since it cost a lot to win
And even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
Wondering what to choose
Goes to show, you don't ever know
Watch each card you play, play it slow
Wait until that deal comes 'round
Don't you let that deal go down, no no no
I been gambling here about
For ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down
It'd burn off both of your ears
Goes to show, you don't ever know
Watch each card you play, play it slow
And wait until that deal go 'round
Don't you let that deal come down, no no no
Since you poured that wine for me
Tightened up my shoes
I hate to leave you down here, sitting there
Singing them old lonesome blues
Goes to show, you don't ever know
Watch each card you play, and play it slow
And wait until that deal come 'round
Don't let the deal go down, oh no
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come around
Don't you let that deal go down
You better not let that deal come around
Don't let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come around
Don't let that deal go down, down, down

But must have used the wrong line
I'm on the right trip
but I must have used the wrong car
My head's in a bad place
I'm wondering what it's good for
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a place
But I'm having such a good time
I've been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a little talking to this time.
Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity
I've been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I've been in the right vein
But it seems to be the wrong arm
I've been in the right world
But it just seems wrong (wrong x4)
Slipping, Dodging, Sneaking, Creeping
Hiding down the street
See my life shaking with everyone who I meet
Re-fried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way I go to get on out of here
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I'd have took a right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
Would have made the right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I've been on the right road
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
You know you
Darlin' you made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you’re gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings so much misery and pain
Yeah I guess I’ll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well it’s too bad, it is too sad
Well I’m still in love with you
But you love me, then you snub me
But what can I do, I’m still in love with you
I, I guess I’ll never see the light
Yeah I get the blues every night
Ever since I fell for you, oh baby
[Incomprehensible]
You love me, then you snub me
But I’m still in love with you
You hurt me then you [Incomprehensible] me
But what can I do, I’m still in love with you
I, I guess I’ll never see the light
Yeah I get the blues every night
Ever since I fell for you, baby since I fell for you
Truthdare doubledare
Gotta be careful who I meet tonight
Put up the struggle, I'll put up the fight
Loving is different, so full of fear
Can't love you right, until the cure is here
It's physical breakdown
It's emotional blackmail
It's uncontrollable it affects us all
Here I am dr john
Here I am do you know what to do
The papers report in the wrong way
Don't care what they say, they don't educate
People look on it with a different view
Can you help me, explain
Do you know what to do
Used to be careless and so carefree
That old life-style will be the death of me
Dreading the system in this modern age
It's killing our people, must try to be brave
There must be something we can do
It's catching up, breaking through
There falls a silence across our land
The situation's out of hand
The situation is out of hand
