Give Me My Blues
I play my music, the only way that I can
Play my music only, only way I can
Some people really dig it, some just don't understand
I play my music only, only way I can
I play my music, play it the only way I can
Some people really dig it, some just don't understand
I don't play the drums
I can't disco dance
But I can play the blues
Put you in a trance
I can play my music, only way I can
Some people really dig it
Some just don't understand
Give my blues song, I'll play it all night long
Give me a blues song, I'll play it all night long
It may not sound right to you but I know that, that ain't wrong
I don't do no country
I don't do no jazz
I don't do no punk rock
That kinda razz-ma-tazz
I play my blues song
The only way I can
Some people really dig it
Some just don't understand
Ooh-ho, yeah
I Got A Problem
I've got a problem, I say I got a problem
I got a problem people, I've got a problem
I got a problem 'bout my woman
I got a problem 'bout my wife
An' all you, when you see me stand here, two's in my life1
I know you might be wonderin', did I wreck my life?
Well, I got a problem 'bout my woman, ha!
I got a problem 'bout my wife
Now my wife is number one, my woman is number two
My woman would do things for me, that my wife wouldn't do
'Cause I dig my wife, but you understand
Sometime it takes two y'all, to satisfy one man
My problem started out
When I started messin' 'round with number three
She called up my wife, an' told on my woman an' me
Now my wife packed up her clothes
Went home to her mother
My woman went off, an' found another lover |
Don't Go Reaching Across My Plate
If one thing in this world
I just can't stand
Is bein' at the table wit' an ill-mannered man
Now, if he's sittin' on your left
Before you could eat a bite
He'll reach across your plate
An' you know that ain't right
Now I like to eat, as well as any man
But there's some rules, a fool should understand
When ya have one little helpin'
An' one extra piece of cake
I tell ev'rybody, don't go reachin' across my plate
I was at a party last night, at over Big Murray
Cat reached 'cross my plate
Got a coat sleeve in my gravy
I didn't say a word, just looked him dead in the eye
He reached across my plate, an' cut him a piece a pie
Now I don't care if he did it for a prank
I don't care, if you had a drink
Especially when I'm out, a-with my date
Now don't you go reachin' across MY plate
At a party last week, there was some high-class folks
Ev'rything on the table, an' that ain't no joke
They had barbecue possum1, rattlesnake gravy
Chicken fried skunk2, an' it smelt real crazy
Ev'rything went fine, but one thing made me blue
A cat reached across my plate, for some armadillo3 stew
Now when you at the table, you act real nice
You say, "pass me that" or "pass me the platter"
But just because you hungry, an' happen to come in late
Don't you go reachin', across MY plate
"Pass some a-that turkey over there, baby!"
"No, don't give me none of that skunk, I don't want none a-that"
"I, I beg your pardon"
"If this cat stop reachin' 'cross my plate, I can maybe ask for somethin'"
"A pass me a little a-that turkey there, baby"
Na na na na-na-na-na
Yeah-heya
"Party' nice, party's nice"
"Yeah, ah give gimme some a that chicken over there, baby"
"Chicken fried skunk?
"Ah no" |
Brick
Brick baby!
That's what I'm gonna throw upside your head!
I said a brick, baby,
That's what I'm gonna throw upside your head!
Yeah you got me so worried
Got me talking outta my head.
Yeah you know I love ya
And you know my love is true
I can't understand it, baby
The way you treat me like you do.
I'm gonna chuck a brick baby,
I'm gonna chuck a brick at you!
I said a brick, baby,
I'm gonna throw upside your head!
I said a brick, baby,
I'm gonna throw upside your head!
Yeah you got me so worried
You got me talking outta my head.
Ah you know I love ya
yeah you know my love is true
I can't understand it, baby
The way you treat me like you do.
I'm gonna chuck a brick baby,
I'm gonna chuck a brick at you!
(I'm gonna chuck your brick back)
The Highway Is Like A Woman
The time has come, I got to hit the road again
I said the time has come, I've got to hit the road again
'Cause I travel with a passion, and the highway is my lady friend
You see the highway's like a woman, soft shoulders an' dangerous curves
You see the highway is like a woman, like a woman, soft shoulders an' dangerous
curve
If you don't know her when you start travelin', boy she can really upset your
nerves
But if you respect her when she warns you, I swear the highway treat you fine
But if you respect her when she warn you, I swear the highway'll treat you fine
When she's wet an' she's slippery, then watch out for the detour sign |

Snowed In
Last winter I was in Chicago and the weather was awfully bad
Last winter I was in Chicago, and the weather was awfully bad
They say I was stuck in China Town, for the worst winter they ever had
"I'm gonna go on right here
And see if I can get this truck started right quick"
"These old shoes ain't ready for the winter"
"Oh, I'm 'bout to fall an' break my neck here in a minute, buddy
"See if I can get this key in this door here"
"I know it don't lock it, lock, it done froze up on me an'"
"Lock it won't act right, it already half-tore up anyhow"
"Yeah, I got it now, I'm gon get here an' try to crank this old thing"
"An' pat the accelerator a little bit"
"Yeah, I almost got it"
"Pat the accelerator a little bit more"
"It's cold, that wind just whistlin' out there"
"Oh it sure cold weather out here"
"You get frostbite out here"
"Try it one more time"
"Y'all, it ain't gonna start"
Yeah, I don't mind a little snow, an' I can handle rain
I say, I don't mind a little snow, an' I can handle a little rain
Now I don't mind bein' cold but this winter, man it's sure insane
"If I go now hit this old gas station,
I think I can get me somebody to"
"Walk on down the street here, 'bout a block"
"See if I can, get somebody to give me a boost off here an' get my battery
charged"
"Oh man, this stuff is in a mess here!"
"I'm gonna fall, break my neck"
"Oh get on by man, I'm gonna get out your way, I'm in the street"
"I'm tryin' to walk here, y'all runnin' these damn trucks an' cars an' goin' on"
"Come on by man"
"Oh man, the station is done closed!"
Now the gas station was closed, and the snow was eight feet tall
Now the gas station had closed, hm, and the snow was eight feet tall
The telephone cable was down, an' you couldn't even make a call
You couldn't go out for groceries, hmm, nobody would deliver to you
I said, you couldn't go out for groceries, nobody would deliver to you
In a bad situation like that, what in the hell, y'all, what-a I'm suppose to do?
"Yeah, it's a tough winter, I tell ya"
"I go back out here one more time an' see if I get this, thing started right
here"
"Old battery might be done be at the level, I might get it started now"
"Besides, I'm about to fall"
"Man, I'm gonna tell ya, I'm a, whew!"
"Rough, rough here in Chicago!"
"want to get on back across that desert in Los Angeles, somewhere"
"Florida somewhere"
"If I can get outta here, I know I'm snowed in"
"Try to crank this damn thing one more time"
"I think I can get it to crank, I hope so"
"Let me see if I can get it cranked"
"Pat the accelerator a little bit"
"Might get it started, now"
"Oh yes, I got that thing together now, boy"
"She's kickin' now!"
"Yeah"
"Yeah, will let her get warmed up"
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey!" |
