1. _ Tattler
(ry cooder/russ titelman/washington phillips)
Whenever you find a man that loves every woman he sees,
There's always some kind of woman that's a-puttin' him up a tree.
Now that kind of man, he ain't got as much sense as a mule.
You know, everyone don't love you, they're just a-playin' you for a fool
Mmmm, oh, no,
It's not hard for you to understand.
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can.
If you marry the wrong kind of woman and you get where you can't agree,
Well, you just as well could get your hat and let that woman be.
But a man oughta make a good husband and quit tryin' to lead a fast life.
Goin' about dressin' up other women won't put clothes on his own wife
Well, there's lots of good women who wants to marry, and they want to live well at home.
But they're 'fraid they'll might get hold of a rowdy man, can't let other women alone.
And there's lots of good men wants to marry, and they wants to live well at home.
But every time they turn their back, there's another man there askin', "darlin', is he gone?"

2. _ Ditty Wah Ditty
(arthur blake)
There's a great big mistery
And it sure is worrying me
It's a ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means
I went out and walked around
Somebody yelled, "now who's in town ?"
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means
Some little girl 'bout four-feet-four
Said, "come on, papa, and gimme some mo'"
Your ditty wah ditty
Your ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means
I went to church, put my hat on the seat
A lady sat on it and said, "daddy you sho' is sweet"
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means
I said, "sister, i'll soon be gone
Just give me that thing that you're sitting on"
My ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means
Then i got put outta the church
'cause i talked about ditty wah ditty too much
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

3. _ Mexican Divorce
(burt bacharach/bob hilliard)
It's a sin for you to get a mexican divorce
Down below el paso lies juarez
Mexico is different, like a travel folder says
Cross the rio grande and you will find
An old adobe house
Where you leave your past behind
One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
Takes no time, for you to get
A mexican divorce
As i came into this lonely house last night
I looked at all my windows but i couldn't find one light
I found you on that road to mexico
And now, my love, i beg
Please, oh, please, don't go
One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
It's a sin for you to get a mexican divorce
Finding love takes so long
Walking out must be wrong
It's a sin for you to get a mexican divorce
One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
It's a sin for you to get a mexican divorce

4. _ If Walls Could Talk
(bobby miller)
Well, if things could talk then i'm sure you'd hear
A lot of things to make you cry my dear
Ain't you glad [ain't you glad]
Oh, ain't you glad [ain't you glad]
Ain't you glad [glad]
Glad that things don't talk
Now, if shoes could tell where they've been
When you say you've been visiting a friend
Ain't you glad [ain't you glad]
He-he-hey, ain't you glad [ain't you glad]
But ain't you glad [glad]
Glad that shoes don't talk
Now, if doors could tell who's turned the knob
When he's away out on his job
If cars could tell who's been inside
And who's been taking you out for a ride
Ain't you glad [ain't you glad]
Oh, ain't you glad [ain't you glad]
But ain't you glad [glad]
Glad that cars don't talk
In a world of trouble i'd be
If things ever told on me
My whole life would be through
'cause i'm guilty, how about you ?
If things ever talk that way
Ain't no telling what they might say
Ain't you glad [ain't you glad]
Oh, ain't you glad [ain't you glad]
Ain't you glad [glad]
Glad that things don't talk

5. _ Tamp 'em Up Solid
(traditional)
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
Baby, when you marry your railroad man
Every day'll be pay day, dollar bill in your hand
Baby, in your hand, baby, in your hand
Baby, in your hand, baby, in your hand
Mary and the baby laying in the bed
Thinking about the money that i ain't made
So tamp 'em up solid so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
Captain called the water boy and the water boy laughed
Captain kicked the water boy yelling, "yes, yes, yes"
So tamp 'em up solid, so they won't come down
Tamp 'em up solid, buddy, so they won't come down
And you can do it, and you can do it, and you can do it
So they won't come down

6. _ It's All Over Now
(bobby & shirley womack)
Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry and she did me wrong
She had my nose open, that's no lie
The table's have turned, now it's her turn to cry
Because i used to love her, but it's all over now
Because i used to love her, but it's all over now
She used to run around with every man in town
She spent all my money tryying to play that high class game
She put me down, it was a pity how i cried
The table's have turned, now it's her turn to cry
Because i used to love her, but it's all over now
Because i used to love her, but it's all over now
I used to wake up in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
Whenever i got worried, she would rub my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Because i used to love her, but it's all over now
Because i used to love her, but it's all over now

(sidney bailey)/(j.b. lenoir/jim dickinson)
Uhm, i'm a fool for a cigarette
Lord, i'm fool for a cigarette
When you've finished choke it 'cause i wanna smoke it
Lord, i'm fool for a cigarette
Mind when you throw your cigarette

Uhm, i'm fool for a cigarette

Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world spent onl feelin' good
Well, the wino met me on the streets
Said, "help me on to some sneakin' pete
Please, help me brother, i wish you would
'cause i feel so bad and i wanna feel good"
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world is spent on feelin' good
Well, you see them folks all dressed so fine
Dancing, drinking champagne and wine
They'd pinch your pockets now if they could
'cause they ain't doing nothing but feelin' good
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world is spent on feelin' good
Red, yellow, black or tan
Makes no difference: a man's a man
They oughta live together now if they could
Then the whole wide world would be feelin' good
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world spent on feelin' good
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world spent on feelin' good

8. _ Married Man's A Fool
(willie mctell)
Had a friend, louie brown, he was a deacon
Just as wise as he could be
Now i realized he could read the good book
Back from revelations down to genesis
You know last sunday morning we was over to the church
My buddy wants to take him a stand
And he looks out upon that whole congregation
The good book in his hand
Now he cast his eye about, and then he looks over in the amen corner
All the sisters commenced to shout [what'd he say ?]
He said a married man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him
She stick by you all your life the chances is mighty slim
Now you read the good book, chapter twenty-one:
Every married woman got to have a little fun
Read on over chapter twenty-two:
It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta you
Now you read a little further, chapter twenty-three:
She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me
Read on back, over chapter ten:
She shimmy one time, you got the problem again
'cause a married man's a fool to think that his wife
Loves nobody else but him, i mean, loves nobody else but him
Well, a married man's a fool to think that his wife
Loves nobody else but him
She stands by you all your life the chances is mighty and slim
Now you read on over twenty-fifth page:
Married womens, lord, is hard to engage
Read kinda careful, chapter twenty-six:
Back door slamming you got to learn to get it fixed
Read on out, chapter twenty-eight:
Who's that back slidin' out through the back gate ?
I believe i'll close on chapter twenty-nine:
Woman get tired of the same man all the time
'cause a married man's fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him
