I wore my .44 so long, i made my shoulder sore.
I wore my .44 so long, i made my shoulder sore.
Well, i'm going down in the valley, where my baby's gone.

I'm so mad this morning, i don't know where in the world to go.
I'm so mad this morning, i don't know where in the world to go.
Well, i'm gonna get me some money, or i'll just have some dough.

I wore my .44 so long, i made my shoulder sore.

Well, i'm going down in the valley, where my baby's gone.

Driving in my car, smoking my cigar,
The only time i'm happy's when i play my guitar.

Sailing in my yacht, what a lot i got,
Happiness is something that just cannot be bought.

I've been in and i'm out, i've been up and down,
I don't want to go until i've been all around.

What's it all about, anyone in doubt,
I don't want to go until i've found it all out.

By eric clapton

You see her walking down the road.
Man, that little girl is fine.
I'd like to take her for a ride.
I'd like to make her mine, all mine.

Look at that jailbait.
Ain't that jailbait.
Come on jailbait.
She's just jailbait.

And do her mom and daddy know
She gets all the boys so wound?
She can't be more than sixteen.
Man, that little girl is sound.

Hey little girl, where you going tonight?
Hey little girl.

Chorus

Hey little girl, where you going tonight?
Hey little girl.

(traditional)

(instrumental)

Lightning's flashing all around me,
Thunder's rolling up behind.
Big blue clouds are going to roll in
Full of tears and make me blind.

I can't let her man recatch me.
I can't stop to cry no more.
I'm just running down the highway,
One jump ahead of the storm.

One jump ahead of her crying,
One jump ahead of her cold cheating arm.
One jump ahead of her lying,
One jump ahead of the storm.

One day i looked on the horizon,
Saw her love just couldn't last.
Oh, my mind was torn to pieces.
I had to leave and get out fast.

And so i slipped out of her power.
I saw my chance and i was gone
Before the rain could start to falling.
One jump ahead of the storm.

Chorus

I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.

I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.

By eric clapton and bobby whitlock

She took my hand
And tried to make me understand
That she would always be there,
But i looked away
And she ran away from me today;
I'm such a lonely man.

It came as no surprise to me
That she'd leave me in misery.
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow that she'd never walk away.

First verse

And if it seemed a sin
To love another man's woman, baby,
I guess i'll keep on sinning
Loving her, lord, till my very last day.

But i looked away
And she ran away from me today;
I'm such a lonely man.

Are we rolling? a one, a two, a three, a four...

A mother was washing her baby one night;
The youngest of ten and a delicate mite.
The mother was poor and the baby was thin;
'twas naught but a skeleton covered with skin.

The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack.
She was only a moment but when she turned back
Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried,
"oh, where has my baby gone?" the angels replied:

Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole.
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug.
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin,
He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug.

Your baby is perfectly happy;
He won't need a bath anymore.
He's a-muckin' about with the angels above,
Not lost but gone before.

Do you want to do it again?

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.

Sadly they left, telling no one goodbye.
Pressed rat wore red jodhpurs, warthog a striped tie.
Between them, they carried a three-legged sack,
Went straight round the corner and never came back.

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
The bad captain madman had told them to stop
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.

The bad captain madman had ordered their fate.
He laughed and stomped off with a nautical gate.
The gate turned into a deroga tree
And his pegleg got woodworm and broke into three.

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.

I think i'm leaving in the morning,
All your crying won't help you now.
I think i'm leaving in the morning baby, yeah,
All your crying won't help you now.
But the whole time i was with you baby,
Everybody, everybody knowed you weren't no good no how.

Yes it was a long time coming baby,
But you, but you finally made it home.
Yes it was a long time coming baby, yeah,
Oh but you finally made it home.
Yes i want you to realize now baby, yeah,
Darling you know you done me wrong.

You built my hopes so high,
Honey, you let me down so low.
Oh you built, you built my hopes so high baby, yeah,
Oh woman, you let me, you let me down so low.
Yes you got me walking 'round here in circles baby,
Oh i don't know which way to go.

Oh just one more time babe,
Just let me, let me prove my love to you.
Yes just one more, one more time baby, yeah,
Why don't you let me, let me prove my love to you.
I want to do all the little things baby,
All the little things i will you ask to do.

By jack bruce and pete brown

Let's go down to where it's clean
To see the time that might have been.
The tides have carried off the beach.
As you said,
The sun is out of reach.

Let's go back to where it's clean
To see what year it might have been.
The roads have carried off the smiles.
As you said,
To judge them at the trials.

Let's go back to now that's bad
To see the time we might have had.
The rails have carried off the trains.
As you said,
I'll never come again, again, again, again.

By bonnie bramlett and steve cropper

Well, i've told you for the last time,
Told you for the last time.

I'm gonna turn on my love light,
Let it shine one more time,
Let it shine, shine, shine for the last time.

There's gonna be a big change made, and i'm gonna make it.
This time i'm gonna lay it on the line.
I got a lot to give when you're woman enough to take it, oh yeah.

Chorus

I sure want to love you baby, baby if you'd only let me.
You only pick me up just to put me down.
I finally let my mind make a decision, oh yeah.

I'm gonna start my wheels a-spinnin',
Let 'em turn one more time,
Let 'em turn, oh yeah, for the last time.

First verse

Chorus

By sting, michael kamen and eric clapton

If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself on the cold cold ground.
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat,
No one would you see.
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me?
My only friend, who could it be?
It's hard to say it, i hate to say it, but it's probably me.

When your belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal,
You search the city for your only friend,
No one would you see.
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me?
A solitary voice to speak out and set me free.
I hate to say it, i hate to say it, but it's probably me.

You're not the easiest person i ever got to know
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show.
Some would say i should let you go your way,
You'll only make me cry.
But if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die,
I hate to say it, i hate to say it, but it's probably me.

When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
And there's only one voice that comes to your defense.
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see.
And if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die,
I hate to say it, i hate to say it, but it's probably me.

I hate to say it, i hate to say it, but it's probably me...

By jack bruce

Dreaming about my love;
You bring me joy and happiness,
More or less.
I dream my life away.

Waiting for you to come;
Changing my life for you to emptyness,
Meaningless.
Minutes just drift by.

I don't care if i get nowhere.
I can just dream and you'll be there.
What else is there to do?

Dreaming about my life;
Where are you now, and when will you
Come to me?
I dream my life away.

Chorus

First verse

Dreaming, dreaming.

By skip james

I'm so glad, i'm so glad. i'm glad, i'm glad, i'm glad.
I'm so glad, i'm so glad. i'm glad, i'm glad, i'm glad.

I don't know what to do, i don't know what to do, i don't know what to do.
I'm tired of weeping, i'm tired of moaning, i'm tired of crying for you.

Chorus

I'm tired of weeping, i'm tired of moaning, i'm tired of groaning for you.
I don't know what to do, i don't know what to do, i don't know what to do.

Chorus

Repeat chorus five times

By ginger baker and mike taylor

When the city of atlantis stood serene above the sea,
Long time before our time when the world was free,
Those were the days.

Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds,
Before wild medusa's serpents gave birth to hell
Disguised as heaven.

Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere are they now?
They're gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.

Tie your painted shoes and dance, blue daylight in your hair,
Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame.
Wonder everywhere.

Chorus

By jack bruce and pete brown

When i was young they gave me a mongrel piano,
Spent all my time inventing the cup of tea.
Writing your name in the sea,
Banging my favorite head.

Missing the last bed, waving the cheery herring,
Balancing brass bands on the tip of my toe.
Phoning your home from a tree,
Drinking my favorite loch.

When i was old they gave me a model factory,
I met three salads out on the motorway.
Leaving your name at the door,
Breaking my favorite egg.

Missing the walrus, sharing my last banana,
Balancing zeppelins on the end of my nose.
Calling your name in the zoo,
Blowing my favorite mind.

By ginger baker

Do right, use your head.
Everybody must be fed.
Get together, break your bread.
Yes, together, that's what i said.
Do what you like.

Don't fight, use your head.
It's all right every night.
Do what you like, that's what i said.
Everybody must be fed.
Do what you like.

Open your eyes.
Realize you're not dead.
Take a look at an open book.
Do what you like, that's what i said.
Do what you like.

By norman petty, buddy holly, jerry allison and joe b. mauldin

Well all right, so i've been foolish.
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Well all right, so i'm not working.
Well all right, let people say
That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way.

Chorus

By jack bruce and pete brown

Upon this street where time has died.
The golden treat you never tried.
In times of old, in days gone by.
If i could catch your dancing eye.

It was on the way,
On the road to dreams, yeah.
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah.

The street is cold, its trees are gone.
The story's told the dark has won.
Once we set sail to catch a star.
We had to fail, it was too far.

Chorus

I felt the wind shout like a drum.
You said, "my friend, love's end has come."
It couldn't last, had to stop.
You drained it all to the last drop.

Chorus

Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah.

On this dark street the sun is black.
The winter life is coming back.
On this dark street it's cold inside.
There's no retreat from time that's died.

It was on the way,
On the road to dreams, yeah.
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah.
Now my heart's drowned in no love.

I'm a sleepy time baby, a sleepy time boy.
Work only maybe, life is a joy.

We'll have a sleepy time time.
We'll have a sleepy time time.
We'll have a sleepy time time.
We'll have a sleepy time time.
Sleepy time time, sleepy time all the time.

Asleep in the daytime, asleep at night.
Life is all playtime; working ain't right.

Chorus

I have my sunday, that ain't no lie.
But oh monday morning ain't my favorite cry.

Chorus

By jack bruce and pete brown

Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here.

Don't let them take me to where streams are red.
I want to stay here and sleep in my own bed.
Need all your loving, long blonde hair,
Don't let them take me 'cause i'm easily scared.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.

Chorus

I got this great need, the need to stay alive.
Not ashamed of my creed, i've got to survive.
So come on baby, don't go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.

I got this need, the need to stay alive.
Not ashamed of my creed, i've got to survive.
So come on baby, don't go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.

Chorus

I got this thing, i've got to keep it sharp.
Don't go to places where it won't shine in the dark.
So come on baby, don't go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.

By eric clapton and bobby whitlock

I was laughing,
Playing in the streets, i was unknowing;
I didn't know my fate.
Playing
The game of love, but never really showing;
I thought that love could wait.

I was a young man and sure to go astray.
You walked right into my life and told me love would find a way
To keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.

I was standing,
Looking in the face of one who loved me,
Feeling so ashamed.
Hoping,
And praying, lord, that she could understand me,
But i didn't know her name.

She took my hand in hers and told me i was wrong.
She said, you're gonna be all right boy, oh just as long
As you keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing. yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe,
Someday baby, who knows where or when, lord,
Just you wait and see.
We'll be walking,
Together hand in hand, alone forever;
Woman just you and me.

'cause time is gonna change us, lord, and i know it's true;
Our love is gonna keep on glowing and growing and it's all we gotta do.
Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing. yeah, yeah, yeah.

Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.

By jack bruce and pete brown

Gonna build myself a castle
High up in the clouds.
There'll be skies outside my window;
Lose these streets and crowds.
Dance the night away.

Will find myself an ocean,
Sail into the blue,
Live with golden swordfish,
Forget the time of you.
Dance the night away.

Dance myself to nothing.
Vanish from this place.
Gonna turn myself to shadow
So i can't see your face.
Dance the night away.

By steve winwood

It's already written that today will be one to remember.
The feeling's the same as being outside of your door.

Had to cry today.
Well i saw your sign and i missed you there.

I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while i listen.
You say you can't reach me but you want everyone to be free.

Chorus

By ginger baker and mike taylor

It is a cold winter,
Away is the songbird.
And gone is her traveller,
She waits at home.

The sun is on holiday,
No leaves on the trees.
The animals sleep
While cold north wind blows.

The snowflakes are falling,
The roof a white blanket.
There's ice on the window pane,
She waits alone.

She sits by the fireside,
The room is so warm.
Her children are sleeping,
She waits in their home.

Passing the time.
Passing the time.
Everything fine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, everything fine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, everything fine.
Passing the time, wine and time rhyme.
Passing the time.

It is a long winter,
Away is the summer.
She waits for her traveller
So far from home.

She sits by the fireside,
The room is so warm.
There's ice on the window,
She's lonely alone.

And if you lose your woman, please don't fool with mine.

I'm gonna buy me a bulldog, watch my lady whilst i sleep.

Well, you can't watch your wife and your outside women, too.
You know you can't watch your wife and your outside womens, too.
Cause when you're out with your women, your wife will be at home,
Cooking your food, doing a dirt, buddy what you trying to do?
