- 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 Young
I'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 Blues
What 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 Night
Black night is fallin'
Oh how I hate to be alone
Black night is fallin'
Oh how I hate to be alone

And there ain't another day is gone
I have no one to talk with
- Broken Hearted Blues
Lord, 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 Blues
This 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 See
You 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 blues
Somebody 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 Blues
The 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 Years
Have 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.

I 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

Sittin' here, thousand miles from nowhere

We all gotta be careful
How we treat one another
- Slop Around
She 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

Well I had a job, but I got laid off
I had a heart but it got too soft

All I want now's just one more
And when it hit, a baby I don't care
Where (where)
