My Time After Awhile
It's your time now baby
Ohh but it's gonna be mine after awhile
I said it's your time right now baby
Lord but it's gonna be mine after awhile
You know you know if things don't change
I'm gonna move on down
74 Years YoungI'm 74 years young, there ain't nothing I haven't done
I've been a dog and I've been a tomcat
I chased some tails and I left some tracks
I still know how to have my fun 'cause I'm 74 years young
Got a few good tricks up my sleeve
I know everything that a good woman needs
I show respect and I treat 'em right
A Man And The BluesWhat can a poor man do, you know when the blues keep bothering him around
What can a poor man do, you know when the blues keep bothering him around
Give him a half pint of good liquor, and sit down and drink it all down
You know, sometimes I feel, I feel like drinkin' me some gasoline
You know, sometimes I feel, I feel like drinkin' me some gasoline
Strikin' me a match and blow myself up in steam
Black NightBlack night is fallin'
Oh how I hate to be alone
Black night is fallin'
Oh how I hate to be alone
I keep crying for my baby
And there ain't another day is gone
I have no one to talk with
Broken Hearted BluesLord, it chills on my pillow
Ice, ice water, ice water in my baby's bed
Yes Lord, it chills on my pillow
Ice, ice water, ice water in my baby's bed
Oh, all of all the good things I have done for you woman
Oh, you know you left me for some other man
Broken-Hearted BluesThis is a song that I wrote when I was young
And I call it the broken-hearted blues
The air on that night was tempered like a knife
And the people wore the face-masks of a clown
Don - he was long, misshapen and forlorn
And his woman ran away without a smile
Days of the earth are unbroken, changeless turf
Every Girl I SeeYou look good and you look good
You look good and you look good
Every girl I see are looking good to me
Every girl I see are looking good to me
You know the pretties girl that I've ever seen
Was a girl right here, looking like a queen
every time i sing the bluesSomebody asked me, why I live the blues
I said the blues is all around me; I just find something I can use
And I feel it running through me, but I give it my heart and soul
I practice while I’m singing; let the feeling take control
CHORUS
I’m just tryin’ to tell the truth
First Time I Met The BluesThe first time I met the blues
People you know I was walking down through the woods
The first time, the first time I met you blues
Blues you know I was walkin, walkin down through the woods
I past by my house burnin blue
Blues you know youve done me all the harm that you could.
Blues got after me
Five Long YearsHave you ever been mistreated, that you got to know just what i'm talkin' about.
Have you ever been mistreated, that you got to know just what i'm talkin' about.
Lord i worked, five long years for one woman, and she had the nerve to kick me out.

five long years of fright, i'm running straight home with all of my pay.
You feel it, that you got to know what i'm talkin' about.
Lord i worked, five long years for one woman, and she had the nerve, to kick me out.

No LieI know you're getting sick and tired of me baby, this that I can plainly see
But deep from the bottom of my heart, baby, I know, you're hurting me
But just as sure, sure as you are born to die
But, baby, I love you, and you know, that's no lie
I'd rather fight a bear, baby, jump down in a lions den
Than to hear you keep on telling me baby that this is the end
But just as sure, baby, sure as you are born to die
One Room Country ShackSittin' here, thousand miles from nowhere
People, I'm in my one room country little shack
I'm sittin' here, thousand miles from nowhere
People, I'm in my own, own one room country little shack
All my worries and companion

She's Nineteen Years OldI'm say'n something to you,
I don't care how you feel
You just don't realize,
You got yourself a good deal
She's nineteen years old,
And she got ways just like a baby child
Nothing I can do to please her,
I'm just try'n to make this little woman feel satisfied
She's Out There SomewhereStandin' on the corner
Wait on my girl to come by
Yes standin' on the corner
Waitin' on my girl to come by
Yes I can see nobody's face
And I just gonna break down an' cry

Sit and CryOh, I've got no one to have fun with
Since my baby's love had been done with
Well, I don't know what to do
I sit and cry and sing the blues
Well, no one to call me sweet names
And my heart is filled with pain
Oh, I only think of you
Skin DeepI've been around a while
I know wrong from right
Learned a long time ago
Things ain't always black and white
Just like you can't judge a book by the cover
We all gotta be careful
How we treat one another
Slop AroundShe was a wild and lovely rose
Oh, how I loved her, heaven knows
But though my heart was true, it would never do
Party life was what she chose
Last night I saw my lovely rose
All painted up in fancy clothes
Her eyes have lost their spark, the years have left their mark
Stone CrazyWoman you must be stone down crazy
Either you're going to lose your mind
Yes I said baby you must be stone crazy
Either you're going to lose your mind
Yes I wanna know how could you treat me so dirty baby
You must think my little heart is made of iron
Lord as I sit here in my dark room
Too Many WaysYou got too many ways
To raise, to sin
You got too many ways
To please your man
You got too many ways
Too many ways for me
You got too many ways
What Kinda Woman Is ThisThe gates of Heaven must be open
I think I saw an angel just walk by
Hey, the gates of heaven must be open
I think I saw an angel just walk by
I heard a blind man screamin', say
Now there goes a sight for my sore eyes
There goes a sight for my sore eyes
When My Left Eye JumpsI've got a strange feeling
I never felt like this before
Yes, I've got the strangest, strangest feeling baby
God knows I've never felt like this before
You know when my left eye gets to jumpin'
Hmm, I don't know which way to go
When my left eye get to jumpin'
Where Is The Next One Coming FromWell I had a job, but I got laid off
I had a heart but it got too soft
I had a girlfriend and she lied
I had a wife but my wife she died
One too many drinks about an hour ago
All I want now's just one more
And when it hit, a baby I don't care
Where (where)
You Give Me FeverOhh, ohhh, ohhh
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Never know how much I love you woman
never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
