J.J. Cale все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

Look here we got a thing going on
Never fear we got a thing going on
Ain't nothing to it
Got to get down and do it

I tell you the truth
Ain't jivin' you
Lord, Lord, we got a thing going on

She brings me flowers from the waterwell
She keeps me laughing all day
We ride on a horse to the river and back
Ain't love funny, funny it's funny
Ain't love funny that way

She calls in the evening to tell me she's back
She likes to talk on the phone

Some like this and some like that
And some don't know where it's at
If you don't get loose, if you don't groove
Well, your motor won't make it and your motor won't move
If time don't tell you then don't ask me
I'm riding on a hurricane down to the sea
If you can't hear the music, turn it up loud
There's movement in the air and movement in the crowd

Blues for Mama
Blues for Mama
It just seems wrong, to sing this song
'cos she's not here, where she belongs

Blues for Mama
Blues for Mama
Rest her soul, she's grown so cold

Now she don't know where she is,
How sexy she can be
She don't realise
What her eyes do to me
She keeps me hot,
Like a boilin' pot
She whispers in my ear,
"Let's do it right here"

Well we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
Yes we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
Our chance of survival is slim, it's what they say
Yes we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
We gotta hold ourselves together, but there ain't no guarantee

Cajun moon
Where does your power lie
As you move
Across the southern sky
You took my babe
Way too soon
What have you done
Cajun moon

They call me the breeze,
I keep blowing down the road
They call me the breeze,
I keep blowing down the road
I ain't got me nobody,
I ain't carrying me no load
Ain't no change in the weather,
Ain't no change in me

Well you can't live here like this anymore
No you can't live here like this anymore
No you can't live here like this
'Cause your man he ain't gonna like it

No you can't live here like this anymore
What's your mama gonna say
About you when you get home

I detect a side-effect of a complicated life
The edge is on, sharp as a knife
Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind

Contemplation, meditation, all that jive
Taking out the medicine just before sunrise
Underground tremor, stop it with a dime

How can you put me through these changes
Why do you do me like you do
It ain't no way
I love-a-dee love nobody but you

Let him go out and get with strangers
Don't you turn my love to hate
Ain't no man can love you like I can, and I do

Cherry, I'd like to love you
Cherry, will you love me too

Someday I will take you away
That's all I want to do

I'll love you forever, Cherry
Will you love me too

Wish I was a stocking clanging to your thigh
Everytime you'd move around I'd view you walking by
Wish I was your underwear hanging around your waist
Everytime you'd shake that thing I'd get a little taste
Closer, closer, closer to you
Closer, got to get closer, closer to you
If I was a pair of boots I wouldn't have to beg
I'd be satisfied just being around your leg

Clyde plays electric bass
Plays it with finesse and grace
Sit on the porch without no shoes
A-picking the bass and singing the blues
Misery loves company
And his old dog sings harmony
Tambourine tied to his tail
You can hear him moan, you can hear him wail

If you want to go out
You've got to take her out, cocaine
And if you want to get down
Down on the ground, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine

Cocaine
If you want to hang out, you've got to take her out, cocaine
If you want to get down, get down on the ground, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine
If you got bad news, you want to kick them blues, cocaine
When your day is done and you got to run, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine
If your thing is gone and you want to ride on, cocaine

Crazy mama, where you been so long?
Crazy mama, where you been so long?
You've been hiding out, I know that's true
Crazy mama, I sure need you
Crazy mama, where you been so long?

Standing on the corner, looking for you, babe
Standing on the corner, looking for you, babe

Every time I see you, all that you do
Crying, crying, crying
You've been shedding them tears for too many years
Crying, crying, crying

You've been lonely too long, something went wrong
Did he leave you again with them blues
Your sun don't shine, your day's no round

It ain't easy drying
These crying eyes of mine
It ain't easy drying
These crying eyes of mine
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely

It ain't easy drying
These crying eyes of mine

When you light that funny cigarette
Would you pass it back to me
I'm feeling a little down and out
And it'll keep me company
I'm just a long lost sinner
Living life here on the line
I'll give it right back to you
I know it's not really mine

Down along the palm trees, in a south kind of bay
There was a young woman, walked the beach every day
She had long dark hair and a high heeled size
She was full in the bosom, with dark brown eyes

A devil's woman with the devil's curse
Satan's lady, she was the devil's nurse

If I'm standing in a crowd,
Call my name, call it loud
Don't go to strangers, woman, call on me
Wave your arms in the air,
Let me know that you're there
When in doubt, oh woman, call on me
Don't leave me here to rust,
Don't let me turn to dust

Downtown l.a. is a depressing place
You can see young men with deep lines in their face
They could all be something if somebody cared
But nobody knows they're even down there
Old woman walking with a sack on her back
Picking up the garbage people put out back
Men down there trying to walk the line
Trading their soul for a bottle of wine

Had me a woman down in Tennessee
Boy she used to love me
Free fever got me and I had to go
I never seen that woman no more

New York City is a place I been
I was there one time with a travellin' band
Young girl there wanted me to stay

Trains don't run forever
Fire goes out sometime
Gotta tell you, baby
We've come to the end of the line

Pages of yesterday
Fill this book of mine
Gotta tell you, baby

I've got a woman, I love her, lordy-lord
She cooks my breakfast
On Sunday, just like my Ma
I hang my hat in her house,
She don't charge a dime
Love me, trust me, never cuss me,
You know she's mine
I'm talking 'bout,

Once a day, everyday
Sometimes all night long
She moves her body next to mine
To the rhythm of this song
They call her May, some call her June
She just needs a dancer
No matter what day you call her now
I call her fancy dancer

Feeling in love, I want to testify
Little time it will take me
Feeling in love, I'm so satisfied
From the love that you gave me
The way you make my day
The things you do and say
Feeling in love, I'm so satisfied
From the love that you gave me

Yes I used to know a fellow
He was lighter on his feet
Just as quick as a sparrow
That was a former me
Since I've been here for so long now
Now I think that I can see
Acquaint myself with that fellow
Who was a former me

Guitar man, tell me what your secret am
Tell me please, can you put my mind at ease
When you're standing in the spotlight
With all the girls around
I was wondering how you do it
How you make that sound, guitar man
Tell me what your secret am
Tell me please, can you put my mind at ease

Hard times is about to get me
Hard times, they hurt my hands
Hard times, it took my woman
Hard times lead her to a richer man
Caught in the middle of some fool's advice
If you work real hard, you get a piece of the pie
Can't you hear that laughing
No, the jokes don't end

Hey baby, it's your time now
Hey baby, you made it somehow
Don't let nobody come and bring you down
Hey baby, you've got 'em on the run
You know, you've got 'em on the run
I know you, you have just begun
When you came into my life, hmm
My love, thought I would die

She said she had no money
But he was in doubt
He told her, "I used to be in too"
But now he was out
"Spare some small change lady
And I'll be on my way"
She looked into his eyes
And deep in his soul

Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger
Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger
She rolls it 'round her tongue like a natural thing
She makes me feel like I'm a natural king
Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger
She got lips around me, painted red
She close her eyes when she rolls her head
Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger

Have you heard that rumour that's going around
You got it made, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway, but you was gone
I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

Я получил тот же старый блюз

Я получил тот же самый старый блюз Дж.Дж.Кэйла
Слышали ли вы, что слух, что происходит вокруг
Вы получили это сделал, через весь город
Это та же старая история, скажи мне, где она заканчивается
Да, я слышал новость, это все та же старая блюз снова
Когда я писал вам письмо, вы должны прочитать это неправильно

I'd like to love you baby
And keep my other baby too
Put my arms around you,
That's all I want to do
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
I know I've got you

I'd like to love you baby

I've been so lonely in these prison walls
Good lord, thinking I would die
You've got the time to get me out
I'll kiss this world goodbye

I've taken some things I don't really need
I've wandered out any pride
Just wave me off, I'll leave without doubt

I can't read and I can't write
And I don't know my left from right
I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know if you'll ever be mine
But I'll make love to you any old time

I can't swim and I can't fly
I ain't no fish, I ain't no bird in the sky

I'm a gypsy man on a one-night stand
Am I fit to be loved by you
I'm with a gypsy van,
Just travelling the land
They'll be leaving in the morning,
I'll be leaving too
Things like love don't tie me down
I just spread my love around

It's hard to tell
With a casual look
Can you read his mind
Like an open book
When you cross the room
Can you feel his eyes
Is he the one
Gonna make your night

Low-light moonlight comes through my window
But these steel bars spoil the view
You know that jailer thinks I'm guilty
He don't know that I'm passing through
Ain't no service in this prison
Ain't no women I can see
Doin' my time now, I been waiting
For that jailer, set me free

Lady luck, please just listen to me
Mistress of fantasy
Send a dream my way
Can you come and make my day
Lady luck, elusive as you are
You're just a fleeding star
You never hit the sky
With you I seem to fly

Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti

Well, the man been working in the shop all year
He said "Men, we've got to get out of here"
Well, the girl been working in the five-and-dime

You told me this, you told me that
You try to tell me, tell me where it's at
You said you loved me, I can see through that
Lies, lies, lies

You left me hangin', hangin' from a limb
You said you loved me, then you left with him
Lord, you did it to me, I see it in your eyes

Cry me a tune in the morning,
Sing me the blues every night
Tell me that you really love me baby,
And everything is alright
Let me know how you're feeling,
It don't even have to be true
Just love me for ever,
Baby, baby, treat me like you used to

Don't ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies
I was born in a freight train passin' by
My mother was poor, my father too
I'll take anything I can get from you

I did not make this old world,
I'm just livin' here too
Been shot three times runnin', cut with a knife

Early in the morning, about a quarter to four
Me and my girlfriend walkin' out the door
We're heading for the car and we got right in
And that's when I noticed the shape she was in
She turned to me and said right out
Let's steer it awhile, let's steer it about
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

Lou-easy-ann, I hear you calling back to me
Lou-easy-ann, I hear you calling back to me
Lord, I'm going back to new orleans
Lou-easy-ann has set me free
Bourbon street mama, you've never seen in your life
Bourbon street mama, you keep it clean out of sight
Lord, I'm going back to new orleans
Lou-easy-ann, you've got it right

Lou-Easy-Ann, I hear you calling back to me
Lou-Easy-Ann, I hear you calling back to me
Lord, I'm going back to New Orleans
Lou-Easy-Ann has set me free

Bourbon Street mama, you've never seen in your life
Bourbon Street mama, you keep it clean out of sight
Lord, I'm going back to New Orleans

Had me a gal in Baton Rouge, called her Lou-easy-ann
She gave me a little bit of olden dream and a key of marijuana
She treat me right
Lord, lord, lord, she treat me right
She treat me right, lord, lord

Well, I went on to New Orleans, had myself a ball
The ladies there, they don't care, they don't care at all

Love has been gone, gone so long
There's nothing new
I say our love has been gone, gone so long
There's nothing new
How does it feel
Not too good
It ain't real but it's understood
That our love has been gone, gone so long

Low down, low down dirty shame

Low down, low down dirty shame

Ive had nothing but the blues

Since I heard your name

She is my low rider
She is my low rider
Some say she's bad, but she's better than no rider

She carries a .45 on her hip
She takes no bother, she takes no lip
So put your hands on my rider today

Miss ol' St. Louis, wish I was back
Picking my guitar by the railroad track
All them pretty women's, hangin' 'round me
Miss ol' St. Louis, how it used to be
Mississippi River, water so deep
Running down to Memphis on to New Orleans
Trying to hustle quarters, nickels, and dimes
Ol' St. Louie's where I spent my time

I've got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
I've got my mojo working but it just don't work on you

I done tried it in New York city, now I'm gonna try it out on you

I've got my mojo working
I've got my mojo working
Lord, I've got my mojo working

Money talks, it'll tell you a story
Money talks, says strange things
Money talks very loudly
You'd be surprised the friends you can buy with small change

They say it's the root of all evil
They say gold is the king
Money talks, you'd better believe it

Now my gal don't like them red red roses

She don't like perfume

Now my gal ain't got no fancy notions

She just likes to make love all night and sleep all afternoon

She's on the rounds, that's what they say

I heard the news only yesterday

She's on the prowl like a Siamese cat

I hope I'm where it's at

No time for making my moves, no time
No time for hitting my groove, no time

Summer comes and summer gone
When I sing the very same song
Set apart of all the scene
How we long for all our dreams

Nobody but you in my dreams at night
Nobody but you in my thoughts
Nobody but you in my dreams at night
Without you I am lost
Without you I am lost

Can't seem to sleep after the sun goes down
Walking the streets is all I do

Words that we say could all be lies someday
Scattered to the wind, I don't know
Things that we trust could crumble into dust
No one can really say it ain't so

When you go over a mountain
When you're looking down the road
When you think you're going backwards

Nowhere to run,
Nowhere to hide
No way to relieve
This feeling inside
You done gave me them blues
And then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run,
Nowhere to hide

I had an old dog, and his name was Blue
Bet your life he was a good dog too
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
Possum won, got the best of him
Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you
Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you

How you been?
It would be so nice to see you, my old friend
What's been going on?
Are you still singing that same old song?
Has your days been treating you well?
Are the nights still cold as hell?
It would be so nice to hear from you again
My old friend

I ain't high on cocaine
I don't need the pain
It's bad for your brain and that's true
I ain't droppin' no names
I ain't playin' no games
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues

Sure do miss you babe
You know it's been a while
Way too long, since you been gone
I'm almost out of style
You treat me kind and gentle
You're always on my mind
A love that's true, I keep for you
Until the end of time

Yes, I've been moving to the highway
Rambling man keeps rambling on
Yes, I've been moving to the highway
Rambling man keeps rambling on
Well, you can't seem to see it my way
Pack my jack and I'll be gone

I said trouble, trouble follows easy

Whatever happened to ole what's-her-name
She used to be the big part of my game
Now she's gone, but her passion is still in me
I still remember the way she wore her hair

Man, we used to go most everywhere
Now she's gone, but her passion still lies in me
Some call her a shady lady, others around her

Hiding in the alley, smoking cigarettes
Tippling in the corner, Lord, I can't forget
I ain't seen no rolling, no rolling do I need
Come and get me mama, I been playing in the street
Grown into a big man, grass it get me high
Long before I fainted
Walking through the jungle, lord what can I see
Come and get me mama, I've been playing in the street

Low-down way you're feeling,
The sexy things you do
Baby, baby, baby,
Let me talk to you
I just love to whisper
In your sexy ear
Tell you that I love you,
Take away your fear

I'm sittin' on this train and I'm ridin' home, ridin' home
I'm sittin' on this train and I'm ridin' home, ridin' home
I've got my bag and I'm ready to go, I wish this train didn't move so slow
I'm sittin' on this train and I'm ridin' home, ridin' home

This train don't move like it used to, ridin' home
This train don't move like it used to, ridin' home
This train don't move down the railroad trac, Fast enough to get my baby back

My woman, my woman, you know she cryin'
She keeps me hanging on a bottle of wine
She leaves no roads open, there ought to be a law
She puts me right down here
She keeps me right down here
She holds me right down here

Lord, I talk and talk about her, can't get her off my mind

I hear a whistle, I hear a moan
Must be my baby coming home
She's been down in Tupelo
Singing that river boat song

She is a dancer, a river queen
She'll teach them gamblers most anything
She's been down in Tupelo

Well, the river runs deep and the water is cold as ice
The river runs deep and the water is cold as ice
I go down there every chance I get
It's where my baby she met her death
And the river runs deep and the water's cold as ice

Ain't no woman gonna make a fool out of me
Ain't no woman gonna make a fool out of me

I'll find my way back to the rose in the garden
I'll find my way back to her sweet arms
I'll find my way back to the rose in the garden
I'll find my way back to her little charms

Wasting my life, just dreaming away
No never again will I ever stray
I'll find my way back to the rose in the garden

Yeah, you come home in the morning,
Your hair's all a mess
You've been out all night,
You've got wrinkles in your dress
You give me the runaround
All day long you give me the runaround
When you say something here,
You mean something there

Dont take her for granted, she has a hard time

Dont misunderstand her or play with her mind

Treat her so gently, it will pay you in time

Youve got to know shes the sensitive kind

Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore
New York, Boston and Baltimore
They'll take you right down where you don't want to go
If you talk too fast and you walk too slow
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid

Slower baby wind it down
Go slower baby, when you move around

It's the rule of not to lead
It's the friction not the heat
If you hold it right back
You're on the right track

I sure like your movin'
It's got me to groovin'
I can't wait a minute
You can't condescending

Your slow rollin', rollin'
You got me to soulin'
It's worth more than money

When you and I are ready, no longer earthly-bound
We'll travel through the crystal night, starbound
Heaven holds a mystery, wrapped inside a sound
Through the eyes of time, starbound, you and I
A floating star is what we are
Suspended in space
Outward-bound it's the only home we've found
To save the human race

Stone river
Water ain't runnin' no more
Stone river
Water ain't runnin' no more
Man he done cut if off
And moved it all around
There ain't no river runnin'
No water can't be found

Strange days
That's coming on us
Strange ways
This time of ours
There is no meaning
For this to happen
Strange days
It seems so far

A man knocked upon my door said
"Don't you know you're gonna die some day
And I got a plan for you man, for when you pass away
We'll give to your mother, your kids and your wife
And all you have to give in return is your life"

Take out some insurance, insurance today
For tomorrow will come and take us away

I've got teardrops in my tequila
I've got teardrops in my tequila
Got Colorado, not enchiladas, on my mind

Ain't it cold as hell in Santa Fe
Makes me shiver to my toes
Things ain't going well in Santa Fe, oh no
Make them two tacos to go, senor

The old man he catches the fish in the morning
He rides the river every day
I sit on the bank and I holler when he passes
"Hey, old man, are they biting today"
I wake up in the morning, thinking 'bout my troubles
I go down to the water and they pass away
And when the old man comes a-floating down the river
"Hey, old man, are they biting today"

Well, I've been out on
The street since yesterday
Been looking for
The woman that got away
A long-legged thing
With a red dress on
The kind of woman
You can't leave alone

This town I live in ain’t fit for man or beast
This town I live in ain’t fit for man or beast
There’s a man down here, a man down there
They all want to rob you or take you somewhere
This town I live in ain’t fit for man or beast

I’m going down to the store, boy
And get myself a dog

Just below San Diego
Tijuana, land of broken dreams
Senoritas dancing in the moonlight
Flashing Spanish dark eyes
to everyone, it seems

They say "Hey, gringo
Can you take us across the border

Somebody touched me late last night
Had this woman and I still feel right
Some kind of feeling up and down my spine
Plays with my head and mess with my mind
She tickled my toe and she kissed my ear
Told me not to worry, told me not to fear
Oo-wee, she felt good to me
Gotta have another, just like the other

Travelin' light, is the only way to fly
Travelin' light, just you and I
One-way ticket to ecstasy
Way on down, follow me
Travelin' light, we can go beyond
Travelin' light, we can catch the wind
Travelin' light, let your mind pretend
We can go to paradise

Heard the one about your woman
Lord, she's been messing 'round
She's been stepping out on the street
Lord, she's been hanging out

Ain't nobody had her this week but it won't take long
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city

Beating down the pavement,
Looking for a job
I'll do anything except steal and rob
Unemployment is something I can't use

If you can't use me,
Can you tell me some good news
I'll be pretty simple,

Well, I quit my high living
Just for you
Made you number one
While I was number two
Set the weight of a hangman,
To keep you satisfied
Times you dogged around on me
And lied, lied, lied

who knew
who knew
our life would be so complicated
who knew
that we would be so automated
no time to think on the brink who knew

who knew

You don't come here too often
You make my day when you come around
You know I love you something awful
You're a diamond I have found
Wish I had not said that, baby
If I could only close you out of my mind

Sunset passes oh so sweetly

Woman I love ain't much more than skin and bone
Woman I love ain't much more than skin and bone
If she ain't round the house - out of the door, daddy no more
Woman I love ain't much more than skin and bone
Treat me right, oh no no, can't complain
Treat me right, oh no, can't complain
She got to be nice, she got me hypnotised
Treat me right, oh no, can't complain

Every time I stop awhile
Think about your sweet smile
I can't do nothing else all day

The way that you wink your eye
Every time you walk by
Baby what can I say
