1. _ Layla
(by eric clapton and jim gordon)
What'll you do when you get lonely
No one waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, i'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, i fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Chorus
Let's make the best of the situation
Before i finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
Chorus

2. _ Malted Milk
(by robert johnson)
I keep drinking malted milk, trying to drive my blues away.
I keep drinking malted milk, trying to drive my blues away.
Baby, you're just as welcome to my loving as the flowers is in may.
Malted milk, malted milk, keep rushing to my head.
Malted milk, malted milk, keep rushing to my head.
And i have a funny, funny feeling and i'm talking all out my head.
Baby, fix me one more drink and hug your daddy one more time.
Baby, fix me one more drink and hug your daddy one more time.
Keep on stirring my malted milk, mama, until i change my mind.
My doorknob keeps on turning, there must be spooks around my bed.
My doorknob keeps on turning, there must be spooks around my bed.
And i have a funny, funny feeling and the hair's rising on my head.

3. _ Old Love
(by eric clapton and robert cray)
I can feel your body
When i'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't i get over?
When will i ever learn?
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home
I can see your face
But i know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how i used to feel
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that i'll never learn

Alberta, alberta,
Where you been so long?

8. _ Walkin' Blues
(by robert johnson)
Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes,
You know 'bout that babe, had them old walkin' blues.
Woke up this morning, i feel 'round for my shoes,
You know 'bout that babe, lord, i had them old walkin' blues.
Leavin' this morning, i had to go ride the blinds.
I've been mistreated, don't mind dying.
This morning, i had to go ride the blinds,
I've been mistreated, lord, i don't mind dying.

Worst old feeling i most ever had.
People tell me the old walkin' blues ain't bad.
Well it's the worst old feeling, lord, i most ever had.

9. _ Running On Faith
(by jerry lynn williams)
Lately i've been running on faith
What else can a poor boy do?
But my world will be right
When love comes over you
Lately i've been talking in my sleep
I can't imagine what i'd have to say
Except my world will be right
When love comes back your way
I've always been
One to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who cares just for me
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you
Chorus
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you
When love comes over you

10. _ Lonely Stranger
By eric clapton
I must be invisible;
No one knows me.
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees.
I was born with a ragin' thirst,
A hunger to be free,
But i've learned through the years.
Don't encourage me.
'cause i'm a lonely stranger here,
Well beyond my day.
And i don't know what's goin' on,
So i'll be on my way.
When i walk, stay behind;
Don't get close to me,
'cause it's sure to end in tears,
So just let me be.
Some will say that i'm no good;
Maybe i agree.
Take a look then walk away.
That's all right with me.
Chorus

11. _ Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
(by jimmie cox)
Once i lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, i just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.
Then i began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, i did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.
'cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.
When you finally get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

12. _ Tears In Heaven
would you know my name
If i saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If i saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'cause i know i don't belong here in heaven...
Would you hold my hand
If i saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If i saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'cause i know i just can't stay here in heaven...
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please
Beyond the door there's peace i'm sure
And i know there'll be no more tears in heaven...
Would you know my name
If i saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If i saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'cause i know i don't belong here in heaven...

13. _ Before You Accuse Me
(by eugene mcdaniel)
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say i've been spending my money on other women
You've been taking money from someone else
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
Well your mother said "son"
"don't call my daughter no more"
First verse
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
If i don't go on and quit you
I'm gonna lose my mind

14. _ San Francisco Bay Blues
(by jesse fuller)
I got the blues from my baby left me by the san francisco bay,
The ocean liner's gone so far away.
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl i ever have had,
She said goodbye, i can take a cry, i want to lay down and die.
I ain't got a nickel and i ain't got a lousy dime.
She don't come back, think i'm going to lose my mind.
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay.
Sitting down looking from my back door,
Wondering which way to go,
The woman i'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more.
Think i'll catch me a freight train, 'cause i'm feeling blue,
And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you.
Meanwhile, in another city,
Just about to go insane,
Thought i heard my baby, lord, the way she used to call my name.
If i ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay,
Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay,
Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay.
