As i get on a city bus and found a vacant seat
I thought i saw my future bride walking up the street
I shouted to the driver "hey conductor, you must slow down,
I think i see her, please let me off the bus!"

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time i see you darling, you work on something new

I saw her from the corner as she turned and doubled back
And started walking towards her coffee coloured cadillac
I'm pushing through the crowd trying to get to where she's at
And i was campain shouting like a southern diplomat(???)

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time i see you darling, you work on something new

Well i was downtown searching for her looking all around
I saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi paid off everybodies tab
I've slipped a twenty dollar bill and said "catch that yellow cab!"

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time i see you darling, you got something else to do
Oh nadine

- guitar solo -

Well, she moves around like a wayward summer breeze
"go driver go go, catch her for me please!"
I'm moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window, tryin' to make her hear

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time i see you darling, you work on something new

Oh nadine
Oh nadine
Oh nadine

Oh go driver
Go go
Go driver go
Go driver go
Go go, go go, go go, go go
Nadine...

Oh suzie q., oh suzie q.

My suzie q.

Oh suzie q., oh suzie q.
Oh suzie q., baby i love you
My suzie q.

Say that you will be true
Say that you will be true and never leave me blue
My suzie q.

Oh suzie q., oh suzie q.
Oh suzie q., baby i love you
My suzie q

(jimmy mccracklin)

Well i know you heard of suzie q.
I know you heard of the chicken too
I know you heard of the cha-cha too
But the walk is dance that you can do

Do the walk
Come on and walk
Everybody walk
Let me see you do the walk
Come on and walk
Everybody do the walk

Well i know you heard of the texas hop
I know heard of the old foxtrot
But when you do the walk, you're do it in style
You just shake your hips and close your eyes

Do the walk
Come on and walk
Everybody walk
Let me see you do the walk
All you got to do is walk
Everybody do the walk
Come on, come on now

- guitar break -

Well if you don't know what it's all about
Come to me and i'll show you how
We'll do it fast, we'll do it slow
Then you'll know the walk everywhere you go

Do the walk
Come on and walk
Hey, everybody walk
All you got to do is walk
Let me see you do the walk
Come on and do the walk

See, all you gotta do is put one foot in front of the other foot
Keep on going than you get where you want to be
That's it, you're doing the walk
See it's easy
Hey, you do the walk
Everybody do the walk

Oh, come on and do the walk
Everybody do the walk
Come on and do the walk
Everybody got do the walk

Left out verse:

Well i know you heard of the old mambo
And you heard 'bout the old tango
But when you do the walk you stand in clos
And don't step on your partners toes

(sonny boy williamson)

You gotta help me, i can't do it all by myself
You gotta help me, i can't do it all by myself
You know, you don't help me darlin', i'll have to find me somebody else

I may have to wash, i may have to sew
I may have to cook, i might mop the floor
But you help me, ooh help me darlin'
You know, you don't help me darlin', i'll have to find myself somebody else
Help me baby, help me

- guitar break -

Now when i walk, you walk with me
And when i talk, oh you talk to me
Help me darling, ooh help me baby
You know, you don't help me darlin', i'll have to find myself somebody else

- guitar break -

Bring my night shirt, put on your morning gown
Bring my night shirt, put on your morning gown
You know there's no way i feel sleepy, but i feel like lying down

- guitar solo -

Mhhmhh, mhhmhh, mhhmhh...

(sonny boy williamson)

I'm going down the road, stop at fannie mae's
Gonna tell fannie what i've heard her boyfriend say

Don't start me that talkin'
I'll tell everything i know
Gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go

Jack gave his wife two dollars, go down town, get smartened
Gets out on the street, old george stopped her
He knocked her down and blackened her eye
Get back home and tell her husband a lie

Don't start me that talkin'
I'll tell everything i know
I'm gonna break up this signifying
'cos somebody's got to go, oh

- guitar solo -

She borrowed some money, go to the beauty shop
He honked(?) his horn, she began to stop
Said: "take me baby, around the block
I'm going to the beauty shop where i can get my hair smart"

Don't start me talkin'
I'll tell everything i know
I'm gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go

If walls could talk then i'm sure you'd hear
A whole lot of things that would make you cry, my dear
So ain't you glad, ooh, ain't you glad
That walls don't talk
No they never talk

If doors could tell who turned the knobs
When he's away, working on his job
Now ain't you glad, oh, you ought to be glad
That doors don't talk
No, they don't

You know, if cars could say just who's been inside
And exactly whom has been taken for a ride
Now ain't you glad, i know you ought to be glad
That cars don't talk
Oh no, they don't talk

- harmonica & guitar "duett" -

If shoes could tell, tell where they've been
When you claim that you were visiting a friend
Now ain't you glad, oh ain't you glad
That shoes don't talk
No, they just walk

Well, in a world of trouble we'd be if things ever told on me
My love life would be through 'cos i'm guilty, how about you?
If things ever talked that way
Ain't no telling what they might say
So ain't you glad, everybody ought to be glad
That things don't talk
I tell you, they don't talk about you

Oh i'm so glad
I'm so very glad
That things don't talk

...?

Give me one more shot bartender, just before i go
Well, give me one more shot bartender, just before i go
I have had my fun and i don't feel well no more

Well, give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
Well, give me one more shot and i'll knock my own self out

Well, if i'm going down let me go down playing my part
If i'm going down let me go down playing my part
If i have me one more shot i will knock my own self out

Hey bartender, where have you been?
I need a shot of whiskey and i need a shot of gin

Just give me one more shot

Well, give me one more shot and i'll knock my own self out
