It's my own fault, baby
Treat me the way you wanna do

It's my own fault, baby
Treat me the way you wanna do
Yes when you were loving me, baby (woman)
At that time, little girl, i didn't love you

She used to make her own pay checks
And bring them all home to me
I would go out on the hillside, you know
And make every woman look i see

It's my own fault, baby
Treat me the way you wanna do
Yes when you were loving me, baby (woman)
At that time, little girl, i didn't love you


She said she was gonna leave me
She'd been running around with the boys
She said she was gonna leave me
Gonna be over in illinois

It's my own fault, baby
Treat me the way you wanna do
Yes when you were loving me, baby (woman)
At that time, little girl, i didn't love you

It had to be you
It had to be you
I've wandered around
Finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you

Some others i've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Try to be boss
They wouldn't do
For nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you

Some others i've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
'cause nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Had to be you
Had to be you
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you

It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
Had to be you
Wonderful you, yeah

Men were standing over me
And a lot more with a whip
And everybody wanna know

Up in downbill street

And every people, all the people
Got the same trouble as mine
I got the blues, huh huh
I say i've been around a long time
I've really paid some dues

One more time, fellows!

Blind man on the corner
Begging for a dime
The rollers come and caught him
And throw him in the jail for a crime
I got the blues
Mm, i'm singing my blues
I've been around a long time
Mm, i've really paid some dues

Can we do just one more?

Oh i thought i'd go down to the welfare
To get myself some grits and stuff
But a lady stand up and she said
"you haven't been around long enough"
That's why i got the blues
Mm, the blues
I say, i've been around a long time
I've really, really paid my dues

Fellows, tell them one more time.

Ha, ha, ha. that's all right, fellows.

To talk and laugh and always bring me cheer

"ladies. i said ladies...ladies if you got a man and the man don't do like you think he
Should...ladies you don't hurt 'im. i said don't you hurt him! man happens to be
God's gift to women! so ladies you must know that the man is already grown so you can't
Raise him over again.

So the thing to do is throw your arms around him! hold him close to
You! look him straight in the eyes! and then you tell him... you tell him, you
Say "now baby you been messing up, but i know you gonna do me better." and when he
Look at you as if he wanna know when, then you tell him..."someday baby." and if it seem
Like he's hard of hearing or not paying you much attention or something do like you ladies
Are known to do....put your hands on your hips and then you say it again...ow! he have to
Be a mighty hard hearted person not to listen to you.

But i don't think it's fair to just talk to the ladies, i think i should say a few words to the
Men too. so fellas...i said fellas! fellas if you got a woman and the lady don't do like
You think she should,
Don't you be goin' upside of her head now. you know what i'm talkin' about, don't you be
Beatin' on her. the judgement's much cheaper if you don't beat her. and you see if you hurt
Her you only do one thing...i said if youhurt her you only do one thing! you make her a little
Smarter and she won't let you catch her the next time. so the thing to do is throw your
Arms around the pretty little thing! now listen to me, listen to me...i don't care if she
Weigh thirty-two and a half pounds wet or five hundred and fifty pounds on her feet. if she's
Your lady and you dig her, than she's your pretty little thing...and then you tell
Her! you say "baby! baby i don't care what they say about you on the next block, your
My little lady and i dig you. let em talk, let 'em say what they want to say"

And fellas, you must know too that the ladies, god bless their sweet little souls, ladies
Happen to be god's gift to man too fellas. you all agreed? you better say it cause your wife
Is listening. but there's just one more thing i must say to you fellas, just one more thing.
Don't be too proud to beg. i said don't be too proud to beg! if you have to fall
Down on your knees to let your woman know that you love her, go on down there!
...i can see some of you cats got dirty minds in the place this evening...what i'm tryin'
To say, ladies love to hear their men say "baby i love you!" don't
You ladies? i said ladies love to hear their men say "baby i love you!"
Don't you ladies? so fellas tell your lady that you love her! ...she might
Think you're lying though. tell your lady that you love her even if you are
Lying.

But seriously speaking, when i goof, when i goof i usually slide up to my woman and i look
Straight at her...i have to get my look first...i usually say i look like a little puppy begging
For that last bone you been holding out on. i look straight at her and i say "baby! ...please
Forgive me honey!" and then i wait a few minutes to see how she take it. and then i
Say "baby! ...please forgive me honey!" and then i stand back far enough so that when
She swings i can duck...and then i say "baby! you know when i goofed last week i
Was high..."if she let me get away with that then i look at her real pitifull like this....say
"baby, honey you know when you're high it don't count. " and then i tell her, i say
"if you forgive me honey i'm gonna do better."and if she look at me as if she wanna know
When then i tell her "someday baby..."

Yes someday, baby
When the blood runs cold in my veins
Someday, baby
When the blood runs cold in my veins
You know you won't be able to hurt me no more baby
'cause my heart won't feel no pain

From hollywood and vine
To the sunset strip
There's so much going on
You can lose your grip
From early in the morning
Until late at night
They'll do you so wrong
They'll do you so right

Back in l.a.
Waiting for the sun to shine
Back in l.a.
Living down a life of crime
Back in l.a.
Working on another line
Back in l.a.
To pick up the dime
You must do the time

From way up in the canyons
Where the hot winds howl
To the mean city streets
Where the night hawks prowl
I can feel the rhythm play
The whole night long
Guess i'll stay in l.a.
And listen to this song

Back in l.a.
Waiting for the sun to shine
Back in l.a.
Living down a life of crime
Back in l.a.
Working on another line
Back in l.a.
To pick up the dime
You must do the time

You must do the time

Back in l.a.
Waiting for the sun to shine
Back in l.a.
Living down a life of crime
Back in l.a.
Working on another line
Back in l.a.
To pick up the dime
You must do the time

To pick up the dime
You must do the time
To pick up the dime
You must do the time

Oh baby, don't you want a man like me
Oh baby, don't you want a man like me
I can love you baby
Better than your used-to-be

Oh baby, don't you need a man like me
Oh baby, don't you need a man like me
I can love you baby
Better than any man in town

Oh baby, don't you want a man like me
Oh baby, don't you want a man like me
I can love you baby
Better than your used-to-be

Someone really loves you
Guess who
Someone really cares
Guess who
S'open your heart,
Oh, then surely you'll see,
Oh, that the someone who really cares is me

Someone will wait eternally
Someone who'll want your love,
Oh so desp'rately
Open your heart,
Oh, then surely you'll see,
Oh, that the someone who really cares,
Who really cares is me

My woman's been accusing me
Of stepping out
Jealous rumors have her mind filled
With so much doubt
And i've gotta convince her
I'm not doing her wrong
Before she leaves me
Sad and all alone

So when the clock hits five
I'll be gone
There's a matter
That i'm gonna settle later on
So if the boss man talks
About overtime
I'm just gonna smile
And pay him no mind

I've got business with my baby tonight
We're gonna talk things over
And make things right
'cause i couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight

We'll go out to dinner
At our favorite restaurant
I'll hold her hand
And tell her she's all i'll ever want
When we get home
I'll take her straight to paradise
And we'll still be loving
Till the morning light

I've got business with my baby tonight
We're gonna talk things over
And make things right
'cause i couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight

Now don't you start talking
About gossip or news
I'm warning you now
I'll put on my walking shoes
'cause to me nothing in this world
Is a big deal
When it's compared to the way
She makes me feel, all right

I've got business with my baby tonight
We're gonna talk things over
And make things right
'cause i couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight

B.b.'s got business tonight
We're gotta talk things over
And make things right
'cause i couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight

My gal keeps me cryin'
My gal keeps me cryin'
Wringin' my hands and cryin'
Oh lord, make her treat me right
I done got so
I can't stand her out of my sight

She's the best love i ever had
The best love i ever had
But sometime
My baby knows she makes me mad
Sometimes she makes me happy
Then again she makes feel so sad

Hey, she's the best love i ever had
The best love i ever had
But sometime
My baby knows she makes me mad
Sometimes she makes me happy
Then again she makes feel so sad

I

I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
She go off every day and she won't come home 'till night

"i'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
"i'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
She don't care if i don't eat
'cos she don't know how the rent is paid

She's a gamblin' woman, she chases men in between
She's a gamblin' girl, she chases men in between
She mistreats me and she cheats me
Meanest woman i ever seen

The kid's in bed, i lay awake 'till broad daylight
The kid's in bed, i lay awake 'till broad daylight
Every now and then i wonder will my baby be home tonight

Just this morning
I took a big long look around
I've lived it up and loved it up
And done it in this town
Life goes on
Look like it's time
For moving on

Good-bye, baby
I wanna thank you for the ride
We did a dance and took a chance
Nothing we ain't tried
C'est la vie
Time, you and me
Moving on

I'm moving on
I'll see you somewhere down the line
I'm moving on
We're looking good and feeling fine
I'm moving on
And you are yours and i'm mine
I'll see you somewhere in my dreams
I'm moving on
So thanks for all the memories
I'm moving on
And you can call me mr. breeze
I'm moving on
Life is full of mysteries
Nothing is ever what it seems

Might try vegas
And keep on playing till i win
Or take it out to hollywood
And fall in love again
Come what may
Night and day
I'm moving on

I'm moving on

I'm moving on
I'll see you somewhere down the line
I'm moving on

So thanks for all the memories

And you can call me mr. breeze

Life is full of mysteries
Nothing is ever what it seems

Those happy hours
That we once knew
Though long ago
Still makes me so blue
They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you
I've made up my mind
To live in memories
All the lonesome time
I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So i'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday

They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart

I've made up my mind
To live in memories
All the lonesome time
I can't stop loving you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey baby, baby please set a date
Hey baby, baby please set a date
Well, don't say tomorrow
'cause tomorrow is too far away

Now, when i want some lovin'
I really want it bad
But the way you've been doin' baby
You really makes me mad
Hey baby, baby please set a date
Well, don't say tomorrow
'cause tomorrow is too far away

Now, when i want some lovin'
My face gets full of frowns
Now baby, if you don't hurry
I'm going to leave your town
Hey baby, baby please set a date
Well, don't say tomorrow
'cause tomorrow is too far away

Now, when we first met, baby
We swore we wouldn't part
But the way you're doin' me lately
You're really breakin' my heart
Hey baby, baby please set a date
Well, don't say tomorrow
'cause tomorrow is too far away

I wonder why
Why does everything have to happen to me
I wonder why
Why does everything have to happen to me
Well, i'm blue and i'm lonesome
My heart is filled with misery

Oh, so many strange things
They happen to me all day long
Oh, so many strange things
They happen to me all day long
Yes. it seems like everything i do
Everything i do is wrong

I had a good reputation
The greatest man in town
But i'm having so much troubles
Til they 'bout to drag me down

I wonder why
Why does everything have to happen to me
I wonder why
Why does everything have to happen to me
Well, i'm blue and i'm lonesome
My heart is filled with misery

I got up on my feet
I had lots of friends
But hard luck have hit me
Now i'm down again

I wonder why
Why does everything have to happen to me
I wonder why
Why does everything have to happen to me
Well, i'm blue and i'm lonesome
My heart is filled with misery

Well, i work hard everyday
Come home straight home with my pay
My baby either drink it up
Or she threw it all away

I'm gonna quit my baby
If she don't stop cheatin' and lyin'
Well, i would rather be alone
Than to be worried out of my mind

Well, i give her all of my money
I think i'm being kind
She buy a quart of bad whiskey
And the rest is beer and wine

Well, a few nights ago
I had to work kinda late
Somebody broke out of my house
Just like he was superman's mate

Well, four o'clock this morning, when i staggered in the block
The little moonshine joint and the rest just begin to rock
I sneaked inside to get a better view
I caught my woman doin' the mambo too

Merry christmas baby
Babe you sure did treat me nice
Yeah! merry merry merry christmas baby
Babe you sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for christmas
And now i'm living in paradise

Oh! i'm feeling mighty fine this morning
I've got good music on my radio
Hey baby, i'm feeling mighty fine
I've got good music on my radio
I would love to hug and kiss you baby
While you're standing beneath the mistletoe

Santa came down the chimney
About half past three
He got all of these presents that you'll use
See, i'll help you put on these

Merry merry merry christmas baby
Oh! you sure been good to me
I haven't had a drink this evenin' baby
But i'm all lit up like a christmas tree

Hey! merry merry merry christmas baby
I've got good music on my radio
I said, merry merry merry christmas baby
I've got good music on my radio
I would love to hug and kiss you baby
While you're standing beneath the mistletoe

You broke your promise, baby
You don't love, honor or obey
You won't do nothing i tell you
You go on mistreating me everyday
You're hardly acting your part, baby
You won't do nothing the preacher says

You don't love me, baby
You don't even wish me well
Honor's just a joke with you, baby
You don't love me, i can tell
Married life with you, baby
I'd rather be living in a cell

You deceive me, baby
You use me like a child
You tricked me into loving you, baby
I was loving you all the while
You played with my heart, baby
I said i was loving you all the while

I'm going home to see my baby, i'm going home
I'm going home to see my baby, i'm going home
I'm gonna take her in my arms
I'm gonna hold her all night long
I'm going home to see my baby, i'm going home

So now, hurry up mister man
Load just as fast as you can
The plane is already late
I'm gonna get home as soon as i can
I wanted to take a bus
But they said the road was bad
I started to take a train but a freight was all they had

I'm going home to see my baby, i'm going home
I'm going home to see my baby, i'm going home
I'm gonna take her in my arms
I'm gonna hold her all night long
I'm going home to see my baby, i'm going home

If there is something wrong
Want to you please let me know
Because my baby needs me
And i really really must go
How bad i wanna see my woman
I guess you'll never know
I would start tryin' to walk
But walkin' is too slow

I'm going home to see my baby, i'm going home
I'm going home to see my baby, i'm going home
I'm gonna take her in my arms
I'm gonna hold her all night long
I'm going home to see my baby, i'm going home

You know by now that i've been passed
Through an awful lot of hands
And all i have is what is left
From ten thousand one night stands

Sometimes i feel like i was there
When the blues began
With this crying guitar holding me
Like a woman holds a man

Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you high a little longer
Oh, i want to try a little longer
Make some woman sigh a little longer

At night sometimes i can still feel
Every place i've ever been
I feel it in my music
And it all comes back again

You know i've played for city lights
And for stars above
And every note i ever play
I always play for love

Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you high a little longer
Oh, i want to try a little longer
Make some woman sigh a little longer

Come by here, baby, come by here
Come by here, baby, come by here
Come by here, baby, come by here
Oh baby, won't you come by here

I love you baby, come by here
I love you baby, come by here
I love you baby, come by here
Oh baby, won't you come by here

I want you baby, come by here
I want you baby, come by here
I want you baby, come by here
Oh baby, won't you come by here

We'll get married, come by here
We'll get married, come by here
We'll get married, come by here
Oh baby, won't you come by here

Come by here good-looking, come by here
I need you, come by here
Come by here good-looking, come by here
Oh baby, won't you come by here

You let me down
All over town
I guess by now i should be gone
Yet here i stand
Still in your hands
Cause you're the best i've ever known

I try and try to say good-bye
I just can't leave your love alone
And after you what will i do
I just can't leave your love alone

I walk away most everyday
Don't need a love that hurts me so
Then every night you get it right
Until i'm moaning soft and low

I try and try to say good-bye
I just can't leave your love alone
And after you what will i do
I just can't leave your love alone

When the evening, the evening sun goes down
You gonna find me somewhere hanging around
The night life, people, it ain't no good life
But it's my life, yeah

All the people just like you and me
Everybody's dreaming
Dreaming about their old used to be
The night life, hey, it ain't no good life, people
Oh but it's my life

Yes listen to the blues, people
Listen to what they're saying
Yes listen to the blues, people
Listen to the way they're playing

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love

Show the world, show them how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

Nights i lay awake and ponder world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Unless man put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame

Just because i'm, because i'm in misery
Oh i don't beg, i don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, yeah

Oh the night life, people it ain't no good life
But it's my life, yeah
So please, please, please, please, please, please
Please send me someone to love
Someone to love

(yes! well, excuse me.)

Well now i've got a girl
Her name is ruby lee
I'm tellin' you boys
She's alright with me
She's my baby
Yes, she's my baby
Well, she's my baby
'cause she seems to be true to me

Well, i woke up this mornin'
I didn't know what to do
I turned on the radio
And the tune remaind me of you
You're my baby
Yes, you're my baby
Well, you're my baby
For you seem to be true to me

Well, she never takes my money
She never leaves me alone
She's the type of woman that
I would love to have in my home
She's my baby
Yes, she's my baby
Well, she's my baby
'cause she seems to be true to me

Well, you know my secret
I'm tellin' you the reason why
So don't bother my baby
And please don't try
She's my baby
Yes, she's my baby
Well, she's my baby
'cause she seems to be true to me

I said lord up in heaven
Honey, what's been wrong with you
Just give me one good reason
For what we've been going through

Oh go on
'cause you brought me to my knees
Go on, do just what you please
I'd rather you'd just leave me alone
So baby, go on

Are you sure you still love me
All you seem to want to do is fight
Always telling me
I can't do anything right

You'd better go on
You've got me on my knees
Go on, do just what you please
I'd rather you just leave me alone
So baby, go on

Go on, go on, go on, baby, go on
Go on
'cause you brought me to my knees
Go on, do just what you please
You wanna lose your happy home
Then baby, go on

Now i've run out of patience
And the chances are slim
Since i walked around the corner
Saw you kissing on him
You said he's just a long lost friend
If you please
You'd better take him home now
So darling, where's the keys

Go on, got me on my knees
Go on, do just what you please
You wanna lose your happy home
Then baby, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I'd rather you just leave me alone
Baby, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, baby, go on
Go on, baby, go on, go on . . .

Woke up this morning i was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I was missing you oh so bad
Wish i had you here to hold
All i've got is this touch-tone phone
So i guess i'll give you a call

Operator help me please
Get thru to my baby way overseas
Time's wastin' oh so fast
Hello baby tell me is that you
I don't know what we're gonna do
But for now i'm glad i got you on the line

Well it feels so fine
Knowing you're all right
But you're miles away
Lord it's not the same

Well i woke up this morning i was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I've been missing you baby oh so bad
I love you baby with all my might
Come on home and squeeze me tight
Long distance lovin's
Gonna drive me out of my mind

You got to give a little
Take a little
And let your poor heart
Break a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love

You've got to laugh a little
Cry a little
Until the clouds
Roll by a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love

As long as there's the two of us
We've got the world
And all its charms
But when the world
Is through with us
We've got each other's arms

You've got to win a little
Lose a little
And always have
The blues a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love

As long as there's the two of us
That's right, b.
Yeah, we've got the world
And all its charms
And when the world
Is through with us, baby
We've got each other's arms

You've got to win a little
And lose a little
And always have
The blues a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of
That's the story
The glory of love
That's the story of
That's the glory of love

Days into weeks
Weeks into months
Months into years i'm blue
I'm cracking up over you

I can't survive
I need you here by my side
Every word i say is true
I'm cracking up over you

When i can see you again
Don't know just when that will be
But baby, just look
Can't you see what you're doin' to me?

Why do you torture me?
Never give me a smile
That brings tears from my eyes
I'm cracking up over you

My heart suffers, suffers pain
Nothin' seems to be the same
But with you baby, i'll suffer again
I'm cracking up over you

Missed the saturday dance
I heard they crowded the floor
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

I thought i'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
I just couldn't bear it without you
I don't get around much anymore

Darling i guess
My mind is more at ease
But nevertheless
Why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
I might have gone, but what for
I just couldn't bear it without you
I don't get around much anymore

Don't get around much anymore...

Gone are the days i'm holding you tight
Gone are the times i thrill with delight
Oh how i've missed you and your tender kiss
I've been a fool too long

I took your love then broke your heart
Can you forgive me, we'll make a new start
Guess life ain't worth living if you are not giving
I've been a fool to long

I've played the field but could not conceal
The way i feel about you
Everyone guessed i had no happiness
Loving you the way i do

You carried my heart around in your hand
Yes i still love you, please understand
Life ain't worth living if you are not giving
I've been a fool to long

mean old frisco


That mean ole, mean ole frisco
And that long train, the santa fe
That mean ole, mean ole frisco
And that long train, the santa fe
Yes, they've taken my baby away
And they blew back after me

I ain't got no, i ain't got nobody here
I ain't got no, i ain't got nobody here
Well, if i don't hear from her soon
I think i'll leave myself

Oh, i wonder
Do she ever think of me?
Yes, i wonder
Do my baby think of me?
Well, she should be worried
And should hurry back home to me

Well, if you see my baby
Tell her i need her bad
Oh, if you see my baby
Tell her i need her bad
Well, since she left me
Seems i've lost every friend i have

I've been tryin' not to worry
And tryin' to do the best i can
I've been tryin' not to worry
And tryin' to do the best i can
But now since she's gone
I'm a lonely lonely man

Learn to love or leave me
Either one you wanna do
Learn to love or leave me
Either one you wanna do
Because strange things are happening
And something may happen to you

Well, if you know you don't want me baby
Why in the world would you let me be
Yes if you know you don't want me baby
Tell me why would you let me be
Because it's better to live without you baby
Than to live on in misery

Yeah, midnight finds me crying
Oh daylight finds me crying too
Yes midnight finds me crying
Daylight finds me crying too
You better straighten your mind pretty baby
Because something may happen to you

I had no worries
Till i met you
But ever since that day, baby
Lord, what i've been doing through
I found no rest
No happiness
You don't do nothing but making me blue

You said you loved me
And i believed in you
I sent you down baby
And been seein' you through
But for that mistake
You made my heart ache
You don't do nothing but making me blue

This life i'm living
Stayin' here with you
Been nothing but heartaches
Woman and you know it's true
You don't satisfy
Won't even try
You don't do nothing but making me blue

Now i'm sayin' it's over
Yes, and leavin' you
Just stay where you are, little girl
I say i'm leavin' you
You had your fun
What's done is done
You don't do nothing but making me blue

I want to go home but i ain't got sufficient clothes
Doggone my bad luck soul
I ain't got no money and my job's done closed
I would call that old woman but i'm afraid that she may explode

My wife done quit me, my girlfriend too
Doggone my bad luck soul
I ain't got nobody and i don't know what to do
They say things will get better but i don't believe it's true

I thought i had friends but they all disappeared
Doggone my bad luck soul
Everything i do people, everything i do seems to be wrong
It wouldn't be so bad if i knew i had a home

Three days of snow in birmingham
Thought you would wonder where i am
Rang our number all night long
It's no comfort on the telephone
Ran out and caught a midnight flight
Thought a little love would make everything all right
The landlord said, "you moved away"
And left me all your bills to pay"
Look out baby, you might have made your move too soon

Left me with a keno card
This life in vegas sure ain't hard
I ran it up to about fifty grand
Cashed it in and held it in my hand
That kind of word can get around
And make a lost love come up found
I hear you knocking baby at my door
But you know you ain't living here no more
It's too bad
I think you made your move too soon

I've been from spain to tokyo
From africa to ohio
I never tried to make the news
I'm just a man who plays the blues
I take my lovin' everywhere
I came back, and they still care you know
One love ahead
One love behind
One in my arms and one on my mind
It's one thing baby
I never make my move too soon

I've been from spain to tokyo
From africa to ohio
I never tried to make the news
I'm just a man who plays the blues
I take my lovin' everywhere
I come back, you know they still all care
One love ahead and one behind
One in my arms you know, one on my mind
And it's one thing people
I never make my move too soon

So many days
I'd rather steal away and die
So many days
I'd rather steal away and die
I was too blue to live
And to mean to die

You've been so mean baby
You've been so mean to me
Baby, you've been so mean
You've been so mean to me
I've got to get even with you woman
You just hang around and see

Baby you ain't no good
You ain't no good no how
Baby you ain't no good
You ain't no good no how
Yes, the way i used to love you woman
Baby that's the way i hate you now

Yes, you can pack your clothes baby
You can pack your clothes and go
Pack your clothes, woman
You can pack your clothes and go
I want you to know baby
You ain't no better than the little girl i had before

Girl, you're my sunshine
You chase away the raindrops
Make it all worthwhile
Make all the pain stop
Just like a river you keep love flowing
Don't let our world stop, keep it growing

Oh i like you just the way you are
Honey, don't change on me
Don't change on me
Please don't change on me
Girl, you're my lucky star
Don't change on me
Don't change on me
(please) don't ever change

I used to wonder where would i find
Some kind of happiness and peace of mind
I was living in darkness
Oh but then you came
Bringing in the sunlight
And easing my pain

Oh i like you just the way you are
Honey, don't change on me
Don't change on me
Please don't change on me
Girl, you're my lucky star
Don't change on me
Don't change on me
(please) don't ever change

If there's a heaven
Then this is my prayer
Lord knows i want to know you
If we ever should meet there
And then forever we'll walk together
Nothing but sunshine
And no more stormy weather

Oh i like you just the way you are
Honey, don't change on me
Don't change on me
Please don't change on me
Girl, you're my lucky star
Don't change on me
Don't change on me
(please) don't ever change

Come back to me, baby
I feel so all alone
It rained last night
And things ain't right
Without my baby home

Every time it rains
I think of you
And that's the time
I feel so blue
When the rain starts falling
My love comes tumbling down
And it's raining
Teardrops from my eyes

If you see clouds
Here in my eyes
It's just because
You said good-bye
Although the sun is shining
There's no more summer skies
`cause it's raining
Teardrops from my eyes

Remember the night you told me
Our love would always be
I wouldn't be blue and lonely
If you'd come back to me
Every single cloud
Would disappear
I'd wear a smile
If you were here
So baby, won't you hurry
Because i miss you so
And it's raining
Teardrops from my eyes

Remember the night you told me
Our love would always be
I wouldn't be blue and lonely
If you'd come back to me
Every single cloud
Would disappear
I'd wear a smile
If you were here
So baby, won't you hurry
Because i miss you so
And it's raining
Teardrops from my eyes

Well, this past day, darlin'
I don't have to cry no more
Well, this past day, darlin'
I don't have to cry no more
Well, i found my baby
Don't have to walk from door to door

Well, i look around me
Lord, my baby can't be found
Well, i look around me
Lord, my baby can't be found
Well, i don't have to walk around no more
Don't have to go down to the bowlin' ground

Oh, i'm sayin' goodbye
Well, i don't say goodbye no more
Oh, i'm sayin' goodbye
Well, i don't say goodbye no more
Well, i found my baby
Don't have to walk from door to door

Good mornin' baby, baby, welcome back to town
Yeah, you doin' so much trav'lin' woman, i never know when you're gonna be
Around

Yeah, you a fine and mellow baby but you stubborn as a mule
You love me like an angel baby but you treat me like a fool
Two faced woman don't you hand me no double cross
Well, because anytime i'm ready woman
Well, i can tell you, i can tell you, "baby, get lost!"

You cheatin' on the outside, you're doin' ev'rything you chose
You better come back on the inside woman, 'cause you got too much to lose
I don't want no trouble with you baby,
I wanna tell you i got to be the boss
Yeah, because anytime i'm ready baby,
Oh, i can tell you, i can tell you, "baby, get lost!"

Yes, i'll try to stop your cheatin' woman but i just don't have the time
I got so many woman, baby, 'till they're standing in line
I want to tell you baby, yeah, you know i've got to be the boss
All right!
Well, because anytime i'm ready, baby,
I can tell you, "baby, get lost!"

Yes your letter reached me early this morning baby
And i read every word you had to say
I said your letter reached me early this morning baby
And i read every word you had to say
But you know i just don't understand you waman
If you love me why in the world did you go away

Your letter said that you're doing ok
But then it read: "please, let me come back home."
Your letter said that you're doing ok
But then it read: "please, let me come back home."
Yes, you said you were so tired, so tired baby
And you wanted someone you could call your own

But memories don't fail me woman
I remember the day you left
Oh my memories don't fail me baby
I remember the day you left
Well you know you told me then and i believe you now woman
That you were grown and you've been take care of yourself

So now here is my answer baby
And the words come straight from my heart
Well, here is the answer to you letter woman
And the words come straight from my heart
Yeah it's against my will i know
I could love you still baby
But baby i just can't play the part

I know you've been cheatin' on me baby
And i know you don't mean me no good
Oh i know you've been cheatin' on me, woman
And i know you don't mean me no good
That's why i blame myself
I didn't treat you like i should

Oh, i was too good to you baby
I gave you everything i own
Yes, i was too good to you woman
I gave you everything i own
That's why i blame myself
Every time you do me wrong

You got your eyes wide open woman
But you're travelling down the wrong road
Oh you got your eyes wide open baby
And you're travelling down the wrong road
Yes, a wine drinkin' and cheatin', woman
Is one thing i can't afford

Here is somethin' baby, i want you to do
I ain't barrin' nobody baby, i mean you and your lyin' friends too
Don't cry baby, don't even spill a tear
Yes, you just pack your clothes baby,
Baby and get on outta here

I gave you a chance and that you know,
You got greedy and thirsty baby and you spent more and more
There's no need cryin' baby, don't even spill a tear,
You just pack your clothes baby, baby and get on outta here

You and your friends you say you had fun,
You went every place woman, that you wanted to go
And when i tried to talk to you baby,
You didn't listen to a word i say
And now baby you must be crazier, that juice has gone to your head
Ain't no need of cryin' woman, baby, don't even spill a tear
You just pack your clothes baby,
I mean and get on outta here

I've been a roaming romeo
My juliets have been many
But now my roaming days are gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything i got on you
I'm giving all my love to one baby
Lord help me
If my baby don't come through

I've got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey, and i decided
Love divided in two won't do
So i'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything i got on you

Now here's what i mean.

I've been a roaming juliet
Yeah, she has
My romeos have been many
You're right, baby
But now my roaming days are gone
That's what i wanna hear
Too many irons in the fire
Yeah?
Is worse than not having any
Um huh!
I've had my share and from now on
Yeah?

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything i got on you
Daddy!
I'm giving all my love to one baby
Lord help me
If my baby don't come through

Got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey, i've decided
Love divided in two won't do
In two, won't do
So i'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything i got on you
I'm betting everything i got on you

I'm betting on you, baby.
Got on you.
I'm betting on you.

Twenty-eight in the waist
Forty-four in the hips
She's got real crazy legs
You upset me baby
Yes you upset me baby
And i'm telling you people
She's something fine that you really ought to see

Well she's not too tall
Complexion is fair
Man she knocks me out
The way she wears her hair
You upset me baby

Well like being hit by a falling tree
Woman what you do to me

If you love me, baby
Why don't you write me sometime
If you, if you love me, baby
Why don't you let me
Hear from you sometime
You don't do nothing
But keep me worried
You just keep me worried
All the time

You know i think about you, baby
I think about you
Every night about this time
Oh you know, you know
You know i think about you, baby
I think about you
Every night about this time
It seems like you would treat me
A little better, baby
It seems like you would be
A little nicer and kind

Let me love you one more time, baby
Let me love you one more time
Before you go away
Let me, let me love you
One more time, baby
One more time before you go away
If you let me love you one more time
I think we can talk it over
Before you go away

My heart's right here in my hand
Oh here i am, baby
My heart's right here in my hand
Oh i don't want you to leave me, baby
Don't want you to go
To no other man

Hold that train, conductor
Please don't let that engineer start
Well, i wanna ride your train this morning
Just to ease my achin' heart

Yes, for the last few mornings lately
Before i get out of my bed
Yes, for the last few mornings lately
Before i get out of my bed
Well, i hear your whistle moanin'
And it almost drives me out of my head

I'll pay my fare when we starts rollin'
All your money's right here in my pants
I'll pay my fare when we starts rollin'
All your money's right here in my pants
Well, i know i should back and buy a ticket

Till this old state is out of sight
Yes, don't stop this train, conductor
Till mississippi is out of sight
Well, you know i'm going to california
Where i, i know my baby will treat me right

Blues stay away from me
Oh blues, why don't you let me be
Don't know why
You keep on haunting me

Love was never meant for me
Oh true love was never meant for me
Seem somehow
We never can agree

Life is full of misery
Oh dreams are like memories
Bringing back
The love that it used to be

Tears, so many i can't see
Oh yes, don't mean a thing to me
Oh, don't go by
Still i can be free

she's a ghetto woman, waitin for her man to come home
Oh poor ghetto woman waitin for her man to come home
She's just a ghetto woman waitin for her man to come home
To come home

A rat run cross the floor, a roach turn up the wall
Everything is noisy around her, that don't seem to bother her at all
Cause she's a ghetto woman, sittin there all alone
She's just a ghetto woman waitin for her man to come home
To come home

Yes, the tv's on, radio blastin' the news
Somebody down the hall, playin the low down dirty blues
My ghetto woman, she's all alone
She's just a ghetto woman, waitin for her man to come home
To come home

Cause she's a ghetto woman, said she's a ghetto woman
Oh, ghetto woman, what's on your mind
Sometimes i look in your face, can't help but cry.

You're throwing it all away
Everything we've been living for
All the promises that were made
They all have gone and flown away

You locked me out
And let your new love come in
Now you are making it
With my closest friend
Fussing and fighting, baby
Where have you been
Yeah, i get the message
That you clearly send

You're so mean and evil
You're so mean
You're so mean and evil
You're so mean

I saw you at the place
Where we used to go
Showing it off
With the lights down low
Telling your lover about eternity
How soon you forget
That's what you once told me

Your sweet talking
Made me go for it
Now you've got someone else
At the top of your list
Like the wind
That's blowing free
Suddenly you've changed
Turned your back on me

You're so mean and evil
You're so mean
You're so mean and evil
You're so mean

Your sweet talking
Made me go for it
Now you've got someone else
At the top of your list
Like the wind
That's blowing free
Suddenly you've changed
Turned your back on me

You're so mean and evil
You're so mean
You're so mean and evil
You're so mean

I keep on tryin' to get ahead, i'm doin' the best i can
But every time i try to pull up
They pull me right back down again
You got me down now and i hope you're satisfied
Oh, it's so hard to try to keep my head up
Yes, when you're puttin' pressure on me
From every side, every side

Even uncle sam say
I owe a lot of money way back from nineteen fifty six
Now, how could i owe him anything
When that whole year i was sick
They won't let me make my money
Won't even let me buy my clothes
Oh, it's so hard to get something to eat
Yes, and now they want to throw me outdoors
Throw me outdoors

Yes, everybody's laughin' at me
I can see the joy in their eyes
They're glad because i'm down now
Just look at the devils in disguise
And i have no-one to turn to
No-one to lend me a helpin' hand
Oh, i'm tellin' you, shakes has really got me now
Yes, i'm a lonely, lonely man

From the little town i ran from
To the city where i strayed
There's been some good time living
And some good music played
And some good loving made
I like it
I like it just that way

I wanna roll roll roll forever
I wanna feel the beat go on
I wanna roll roll roll forever
I wanna feel it till it's gone
I wanna roll roll roll forever
And live from song to song
Right there in the music
Is right where i belong

When i meet my maker
With my music in my hand
He'll smile down when he sees me
And ask about the band
I know he'll understand
He knows life
And life can be so grand

I wanna roll roll roll forever
I wanna feel the beat go on
I wanna roll roll roll forever
I wanna feel it till it's gone
I wanna roll roll roll forever
And live from song to song
Right there in the music
Is right where i belong

I may go and move to the jungle now
Way out in the woods
Yes, i think i'll move to the jungle people
Move way out in the woods
Yes, because the way things are here now
Well, i ain't doin' myself no good

I work hard everyday
From monday to friday night
The wages that they pay me
I swear that they're very light
The take out a little for the state
A little more for uncle sam
How can i ever catch up
And get myself out of this jam
Yes, i think i'll move to the jungle
Move way out in the woods
Yes, because the way things are here now
Well, i ain't doin' myself no good

I go to town on saturday
Just to pay my bills
I better make it early
Or the collector will come where i live
I got to church on a sunday
I get on my knees to pray
Preacher takes up collection
And say brother what will you pay
I think i'll move to the jungle
Move way out in the woods
Yes, because the way things are here now
Well, i ain't doin' myself no good

When i come home in the morning
And i knock on the door
I don't get that glad-to-see-you welcome
The glad-to-see-you welcome any more
Oh but to me
It's just like it used to be, baby
Because you are still my woman

You know a change have come
And i guess i'll blame it on fate
The thing that once was love
It now seems to turn to hate
Oh i guess it's too late
For me now, baby
But you are still my woman

You know i tried to be
The man you wanted me to be
But whatever i do, baby
It seems to add to your misery
Oh you can do
What you want to, baby
But you are still my woman

You know i'm still hoping and praying
That someday i'll find
Someone to love me
So i can have love and peace of mind
Oh i still love you
Like i did before, baby
Because you are still my woman

Your friends are all telling you
That i'm a no good so-and-so
They say that love and affection
Have now turned to a heart
A heart that's old and cold
It's the same old story
Same old story that's so often told

You are still my woman

I don't know what love is
But i think i must have it bad
Yeah, you know i don't know what love is people
Whoah, but i think i must have it bad
Yeah, you know some people say love is just a gamble
But whatever it is, it's enough to drive old b. mad

They say love is just a proposition people
It's strictly a game of give and take
Yeah, they tell me love, love, love is a proposition people
They say it's strictly a game of give and take
Whoah, but my woman took all i gave her
And i'm here to tell to you that love proposition stuff's a fake

Oh, i don't claim to be no gambler people
Oh, i don't' know much about the dice
Yes, i don't claim to be no gambler people
I tell you i don't know much about the dice
Oh, but i wait and my baby knows
She knows i'm not the kind who's gonna crap out twice

Yes, she left me early this mornin'
I don't know the reason why
She just got up early this mornin'
Didn't even say good-bye

But i love you, i love you, you know i love you baby
Although you made me cry
Yes, there are a lot of women who want me
Oh, but how you satisfy

I'd rather be sloppy drunk than anything i know
I'd rather be sloppy drunk than anything i know
Another half a pint, then you'll see me go

My gal done quit me, for somebody else
Oh my gal done quit me, for somebody else
Now i'm sloppy drunk again
Sleeping all by myself

Oh i love my whiskey
Tell the world i do
Oh i love my whiskey
Telling the world i do
And my reason for drinking'...
Tryin' to get along with you

Oh i drink while i'm up
Drink until i fall
I'm gonna drink while i'm up
Drink until i fall
If you tryin' to stop me drinkin
Ain't saying nothing at all

Oh, hey bartender
Bring another half a pint
Oh, hey bartender
Bring another half a pint
Two or three more drinks
I'm gonna raid this joint

Yes! i'm sloppy drunk again
I don't care who knows
Yeahow!

Yeah, you won't listen to nothing i tell you, woman
You keep on doin' as you please
Yeah, you won't listen to a thing i tell you, baby
You keep on doin' as you please
But i've taken it as long as i can, baby
When is this foolishness gonna cease

I worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
I worried myself crazy, woman
I cried both night and day
You didn't believe me, baby
When i told you i'm gonna leave one day

Yeah, you told me that you love me, woman
But action speaks louder than words
Well, you said that you love me, woman
But action speaks louder than words
I won't be foolin' around no more
That's a line everybody has heard

If you don't change for the better, baby
You better do it real soon
If you don't change for the better, woman
And you better do it real soon
Or you will wake up one of these mornings, baby
And find yourself in a empty room

I'm cryin' please, baby, honey, please remember me
I'm cryin' please, baby, please remember me
Well, it fills my heart with great consolation, darlin'
To know that you will remember me

Well, i want you to love me, baby
Like the snow falls on the cold, cold ground
Yes, i want you to love me, baby
Like the snow falls on the cold, cold ground
Lord, with your love like that, darlin'
I know you'll never let me down

Well, alright
Just talk to me, baby
Yes, alright

Well, when you were leavin', baby
Well, i could see the smile on your face
Oh, yes, when my baby was leavin'
People, i could see the smile on her face
Well, you know i'm so glad, people
There is no-one can take my place

Yeah, you never know how you hurt me, baby
How bad i feel inside
Oh, you never know how much you hurt me, woman
How bad i feel inside
I believed you when you said you loved me
Oh, but i know you lied

Oh, when i lay down in darkness
I keep hearin' your sweet voice
When i lay down in darkness, baby
I keep hearin' your sweet voice
And i remember you at chuch, woman, oh, and how i rejoice

I know the people are talkin', baby
But i don't care what they say
I realise that people talkin', baby
But i don't care what they say
I know i still love you, woman, and i want you home to stay

Yeah, if you ever change your mind, woman
Won't you please come on home
Oh, if you ever change your mind, baby
Won't you please come on home
Yes, i'm not good without you, baby
And you're not good to me gone

Now i'm so glad that troubles don't always last

Yes, have fun whilst you can 'cos fate's an awful thing
Well, have fun whilst you can 'cos fate's an awful thing
You can't tell what may happen that's the reason i love to sing

I can hear my name ringin'
Ringin' all up and down the line
Yes i can hear my name ringin'
Ringin' all up and down the line
I don't believe my woman loves me
I believe i'm just messin' up my time

Yes, i have the blues before sunrise
With the tears gettin' to my eyes
I have the blues before sunrise
And the tears gettin' to my eyes
Yes, i get that funny feeling
It's the feeling i do despise

Yes, last night as i laid there dreamin'
I was layin' there by myself

Or get this world to stop

There's no one here who knows me
And no one here i know

You don't have to speak
'cause they all understand

The power of the blues
Hey, hey, the power of the blues
And that's good news
I'm talking about the power of the blues

Yes, it's just a few changes
That i won't deny
But if you think it's easy
You just give it a try
You know the truth
But you're afraid to say it
That it ain't what i play
It's the way that i play it

That's the power of the blues
Yes, the power of the blues
You'll change your views
When you hear the power of the blues

Now me and lucille

But all we gotta do
Is shoot 'em full of love

With the power of the blues
Hey, the power of the blues
It's the thing to use
Talking about the power of the blues
Yes, i am

So she's gonna get as many as she can
What can i do
Yes, i just sing the blues
Well, i just sing the blues
'cause that's the only thing i know to do

Well, some people may be wrong sometimes
But they can't be wrong all the time
Like they say a cat has nine lives
Nine loves has the woman of mine
What can i do
Yes, i just sing the blues
Well, i just sing the blues
'cause that's the only thing i know to do

Well, the women are funny these days
They do wrong in so many ways
They'll have a man twiddling his fingers
Or either drinking his life away
What can i do
Yes, i just sing the blues
Well, i just sing the blues
'cause that's the only thing i know to do

I'm not feeling like i usually do
I think it might have something
To do with you
Every time you're near me
My body gets hot
Don't need a doctor
I know what i've got

Caught a touch of your love
It came on overnight
I must have held you too tight
Last night
Caught a touch of your love

Your affection has affected me
I'm feeling kind of dizzy
And weak in the knees
I've been in love before
But never so bad
You're in my system
And it's driving me mad

The fever from your kisses
Tears me apart
It starts from your lips
And goes straight to my heart
No use pretending
'cause baby, i'm sure
There's no cure
And i've just gotta have more

You can lead a horse to water
But you can't make him drink
You can send a kid to college
But you can't make him think
You'll never miss your water, baby
Till the well runs dry
And you'll never miss me, baby
Till i say good-bye
Mm hm, you'd better heed my warning

The straw that broke the camel's back
Didn't have to be so big
And when you ran off and left me, baby
I almost blew my wig
They say he who has the last laugh
Always laughs the best
And i'm gonna laugh louder, baby
Than all the rest
Mm hm, baby, you'd better heed
You'd better heed my warning

If you want me to get out, baby
You know you don't have to push
But you'll find a bird in hand
Is worth two in the bush
There's no need to lock the barn door
When the cow is gone
But you're gonna miss me, baby
On some frosty dawn
Mm hm, you know you'd better heed
You'd better heed my warning

It's a long, long road
That don't have a turn
You have to be an early bird
If you wanna catch a worm
They say absence makes
The heart grow fonder
So its plain to see
If the grass look greener yonder
Baby, that's where i'm gonna be
Mm hm, baby, you know you'd better heed
You'd better heed my warning

Well i hate to see the sun sets in the west
'cos i know my whole life gonna be a solid mess
I got to find my baby i declare well i
I ain't had no real good lovin' since my gal said goodbye

Well, i walked this town from door to door
Gal i love can't find no more
I got to find my baby i declare well i
I ain't had no real good lovin' since my gal said goodbye

Well i've looked all around trying to find me a wife
I got to find my big legged brownskin share the rest of my life
I got to find my baby i declare well i
I ain't had no real good lovin' since my gal said goodbye

Someday, someway you'll realize that you've been blind
Oh, darling you're gonna need me again
It's just a matter, a matter of time
Oh, go on baby, go on until you reach the end of the line
Hey, but i know, i know you're gonna pass my way again
It's just a matter, just a matter of time

Oh, after i gave you everything i had,
Hey, you know you laughed at me and you called me a clown
Ahw, but you must remember baby, in your search for fortune and fame,
Hey, what goes up just gotta come down
I know, i know baby, oh, that someday, one day you'll wake up and find
Oh, my love, my love is a true love
It's just a matter, baby just a matter of time

Hey, after i gave you, gave everything i had,
You know you laughed at me and i can hear you say, "look at that clown"
But you must remember baby, in your search for fortune and fame,
Oh, what goes up, hey, you know it's got to come down
Oh, but i know hey, i know, i know baby that one day,
One day you'll wake up and find that my love,
My love is a true love
Hey, baby it's just a matter, just a matter of time

I play the street life
Because there's no place i can go
Street life
And it's the only life i know
Street life
And there's a thoundand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away

You let the people see
Just who you want to be
And every night you shine just like a super star
That's how the life is played
A ten cent masquerade
You dress, and walk, and talk you're who you think you are

Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel and a dime
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold

There's always love for sale
A grown-up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon

When i first met you baby
Honey you were almost out of school
When i first met you baby
Honey you were almost out of school
You were real wild then woman
Honey, but you were nobody's fool

I was so in love with you baby
And i tried to get you to love me too
I was so in love with you baby
And i tried to get you to love me too
I thought you had no time for me then woman
Wouldn't do anything i asked to

Oh, sweet thing
You are all i want to see
Oh, sweet thing
You are all i want to see
I having so much trouble baby
I wonder what's gonna happen to me

I may get weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
But to one who's weary
Try a little tenderness

She may be waiting
Just anticipating
All of the things
She may never possess
But while she's waiting
Try a little tenderness

I may be sentimental
But i've had my griefs
And my cares
And just a good word
Soft and gentle
Makes it, makes it
So much easier to bear

She might forget it
Oh but don't let her forget it
Love's got a whole
A whole happiness
'cause it's so easy
Try a little tenderness

Oh it's so very easy
It's so very easy
Try a little
Try a little
Try a little
Try a little
Try a little

Try a little, try a little
Won't you
'cause it's so very easy
So very easy
Won't you try
Yes, i'll try
Try a little tender -
Tender -
- ness
I'll try a little tenderness
Oh

People got money
Still got problems
Got to the doctor
And try to solve them
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues

Baby needs new shoes
Mama needs a new dress
Daddy's out scufflin'
Tryin' to do his best
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues

Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again

You party on a saturday
Go to church on sunday
Fun leaves you because
Gotta work on monday
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues

Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again

Ain't got no money
To pay the rent
Baby's gone
You spent your last cent
Mm, still called the blues
Still called the blues, y'all

Anyway you look at it
Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again

I'm glad to see you back, baby
You been gone such a long, long time
And now that you're back, baby
Let's make up for long lost time
Well, the day that you left me, baby
I nearly went out of my mind
I couldn't hardly sleep at night, baby
Every morning i woke up crying
