Backslidin' BluesNow when she left my head was spinnin'
It all happened way too fast
I quit goin' to church
I've gone back to sinnin'
Since my baby put me out with the trash
Chorus:
Black Jack County ChainsI was standin' by the road in Black Jack County
Not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty
For men like me who didn't have a penny to their name
He locked my legs in thirty five pounds
Of Black Jack County chains
All we had to eat was bread and water
Every day we had to build his road a mile and a quarter
Cold Hard FactsDon't run to me when he's not around
Don't come slippin' 'round my door
I tried not to see how you're using me
We played that little game before
You call me up when he's out of town
The next day you treat me like I'm just some hand me down
Is that any way for a good girl to act
DreamsI had a dream of you the other night dear
A dream I could not live in true life I fear
You talked with a friend of mine so lovingly
Oh God, oh God, a crazy dream please let it be
Dreams, dreams of you dear
Tears, tears are so sincere
Love, love that I can't hide
Eyes That Won't Meet MineThey say a picture's worth a thousand words
Tonight your silence speaks a thousand pictures
I won't say that you lied to me
We all lie to ourselves, I don't give lectures
Chorus:
Just look at me
Don't try to protect me
My Love Will Not ChangeWell, the seasons come
And the Seasons go
And the reason you left
Guess I’ll never know
Queen Anne's LaceWith every golden curl in place
She's as fine as Queen Anne's lace
No one could ever fault
The way she looks tonight
The man standing by her side
Shows her off with such eager pride
Seems since I saw her last
The King's ShillingA voice was heard in the market one day
Two lads who gaze out to the sea
Come take the king's shilling and follow your dreams
I'll make you a sailor like me
The first one to speak was the carpenter's lad
Tim Barlow was his darlin' name
He said I'll come with you and follow the flag
Travelin' Teardrop BluesAdios, I heard me callin'
And I felt my spirit fallin'
'Til the warm desert wind picked me up
I've been lost in all four corners
Drifted over California
Leavin' shadows on the ground
Like clouds above
Two-Faced Lovewo-faced love, that makes me doubt my mind
Two-faced love, that keeps me paralyzed
Two-faced love, I pace the room at night
Why can't I get you off my mind
Untamednever let love come too near me
I sleep all alone in the dark
The truth is I'm runnin' from the fire
That's scorching the dry wood of my heart
