- Ace In The Hole
Sad times, may follow your tracks
Bad times, may bar you from Sak's
At times, when Satan in slacks
Breaks down your self control
Maybe, as often it goes
Your Abe-y, may tire of his rose
So baby, this rule I propose
- Careless Love
Love, oh, love, oh careless love
Love, oh, love, oh careless love
Love, oh, love, oh careless love
You see what love has done to me
I'd love my mama and papa too
I'd love my mama and papa too
I'd love my mama and papa too
- Hang Me Oh Hang Me

- Hesitation Blues
Well I'm standing on the corner with a dollar in my hand,
I'm just looking for a woman thats looking for a man,
Tell me how long, do i have to wait, can I get you now, or must I hesitate
Well, the eagle on the dollar says "in God we trust"
Women says she wants a man but wants to see a dollar first
Tell me how long, must I hesitate, you know, can I get you now or do I have to wait
- House Carpenter
Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met, cried he
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the sake of thee
I could have married a King's daughter there
So freely she was with me
But I have forsaken a crown of gold
- Losers
I blew my wad playing seven-card-stud
I was playing for money, they was playing for blood
On the way back home the big winner got mugged
Now he's just another loser like me
Losers, losers
I got took for my Hoosers
- Sunday Street
Not a dollar, not a nickle, not a penny to my name
I'm the king of tap city and I'm out of the game
A nickle up, a nickle down, another nickle gone
Ain't got a nickle just to carry me on.
When I'm back on my feet, I'll move from Saturday Ally
Up to Sunday Street
Gonna get a pair of dice that give me sevens all the time
- Talking Cancer Blues
I was sitting in the back yard sucking on a Good Humor
Along comes a Doc, says my wife has a tumor
And it was malignant
Now the AMA and the medical highers
They don't agree with Liggette & Meyers
They say smoking is bad for you
Hell of a cough, too
- Way Down In Lubyanka Prison
Way down in Lubyanka Prison
Wish I was back in the old Ukraine.
I was a faithful Party follower,
Until the line got changed again.
Chorus:
I denounced that Fascist bastard Tito,
