"The Road I Travel (Aka Hard Luck Blues)"

"The Road I Travel (Aka Hard Luck Blues)"


Well, the rocks is my pillow
The cold ground is my bed
The highway is my home so I might as well be dead
I'm walkin' and walkin', seems I have no place to go
Yes, mama's dead and gone
And papa throw me from his door
I have one pair of shoes
Don't even have a change of clothes
And this road I've got to travel, yes, it's so chilly and cold
Yes, I'm going to have religion and learn how to pray
I need help, now people, seem that's the only way
I'm travellin' and travelin'
Seem like this road has got no end
I ain't got nobody, people
In this whole world to call my friend
I've got so much trouble, people, sometimes I could cry
I've got so much trouble, so much trouble
Sometimes I could cry
Yes, sometimes I could just break down
Seem like I could just break down and die

"The Same Love That Made Me Laugh"

"The Same Love That Made Me Laugh"


Your love is like a a chunk of gold
Hard to gain, and hard to hold

Like a rose that's soft to touch
Love has gone, and it hurts so much

Well and why...
Must the same love that made me laugh
Make me cry?

Well now you think of love as
sitting on a mountain
Think of it as being a great big rock
Won't you think before you
started to roll it down
Because once you start it,
you can't make it stop

I've given all I have to give
And if you don't want me
I don't want to live

Well and why...
Must the same love that made me laugh...
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?

Why you wanna make me lay in my pillow
Just cryin' like a weeping willow

Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?

Why you wanna make me mess in my pillow
I'm just cryin' like a weeping willow

Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?

"The Sky Is Crying"

"The Sky Is Crying"


The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
I looked out my window, the rain was falling down in sheets.

My baby left me this morning, Lord knows I don't know the reason why.
My baby left me this morning, I don't know the reason why.
And everytime I think about it, I hang my head and cry.

The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
I love my baby, I hate to see us part.

"The Thrill Is Gone"

"The Thrill Is Gone"


The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby
It's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open armed baby
Just like I know a good man should

You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
Oh I'm free, free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well

"The Victim"

"The Victim"


I was born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Ever since I was old enough to be one
I've been the victim of every woman I meet
Every time I meet a pretty girl
I lose my self control
Bad enough to lose your self control
But every time you lose your bankroll
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Ever since I've been old enough to be one
I tell you the girls have been fussing over me
Country girls are slick
City girls are slicker
And the way they keep on slicking me
They keep getting me sicker and sicker and sicker and sicker
I was born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
And ever since I was old enough to be one
I've been the victim of every woman I meet
I was born in the country
Said I was raised in a ghetto street
I was born in the country
Said I was raised in a ghetto street
And ever since I've been old enough to be one
I tell you the women have been trying to make a fool out of me
Every time I meet a pretty girl
I lose my self control
Bad enough to lose your self control
But every time you lose your bankroll
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
And ever since I've been old enough to be one
I tell you I've been the victim of every woman I meet
Country girls are slick
City girls are slicker
The way they keep on slicking me
They keep getting me sicker and sicker and sicker
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Ever since I've been old enough to be one
I've been the victim of every woman I meet
Got a room in a third floor walk up
Landlady flung herself at me
Couldn't pay my rent for three months
And she said "Go man go back to be free!"
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Ever since I've been old enough to be one
I've been the victim of every woman I meet
Cold outside
The ground was covered with snow
But she threw me and my trunk out the window
And she hollared "Look out! Victim falling below!"
Yes, born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
And ever since I've been old enough to be one
Women have been trying to make a fool out of me

Well, it feels alright, 'n' ev'rything is really ok

"The World Is Gone Wrong"

"The World Is Gone Wrong"


Strange things have happened,
Like never happened before.
My baby told me
I would have to go.
I can't be good no more,
Like I once did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,
Honey, because the world is goin' wrong.
Feel bad this morning,
Ain't got no home.
No use to worry,
'Cause the whole world is goin' wrong,
I can't be good no more,
Once like I did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,
Honey, because the world is goin' wrong.
I told you, baby,
Right to your head,
If I didn't leave you
I would have to kill you dead.
I can't be good no more,
Once like I did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,
Honey, because the world is goin' wrong.
If you have a woman
And she won't be kind,
Praise to the Good Lord
To get her off of your mind.
I can't be good no more,
Once like I did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,
'Cause the world is goin' wrong.
When you've been good,
You can't do no more,
Just tell her kindly,
"There's the front door."
I can't be good no more,
Once like I did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,
Honey, 'cause the world is goin' wrong.
Just pack up my suitcase,
And give me my hat,
I ain't no need to ask you, love
I ain't coming back.
I can't be good no more,
Honey, like I once did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,
Honey, 'cause the world is goin' wrong.

"The Worst Thing In My Life"

"The Worst Thing In My Life"


Yes, it was the worst thing in my life
The worst thing I ever witnessed to
The worst thing in my life
The worst thing I ever witnessed to
When the woman that I love
Went to say it was really through
Yes I said take it easy baby
A lot of things came before we part
Yes I said take it easy baby
A lot of things came before we part
Yes, a lot of the foolish things you've doin' baby
I want to know what do you think you're doing to me
Because you think you've so sweet
Yes, don't say that you want to leave me baby
But think of the shape you'll be in
Yes, don't say that you want to leave me baby
But just think of the shape you'll be in
I want to know you'll hate you ever met me
And you'll hate the day when we began
Why should you acusse me baby
Without me givin' you a cause
Want to know why should you acusse me baby
Without me givin' you a cause
I know I've been good to you baby
As if I was Santa Claus
Yes, you don't think much of your life baby
Baby to put yourself on the spot
Yes, you don't think much of your life baby
Honey to put yourself on the spot
Yes, when the people see me clowin' woman
Well I wonder what you got

"There I've Said It Again"

"There I've Said It Again"


I love you, there's nothing to hide,
It's better than burning inside,
I love you, no use to pretend,
There! I've said it again.

I've said it, what more can I say,
Believe me, there's no other way,
I love you, I will to the end,
There! I've said it again.

I try to drum up,
A phrase that will sum up,
All that I feel for you.
But what good are phrases,
The thought that amazes,
Is that you love me,
And it's heavenly.

Forgive me for wanting you so,
But one thing I want you to know,
I've loved you since heaven knows when,
There! I've said it again.

"There Is Always One More Time"

"There Is Always One More Time"


If your whole life somehow
Wasn't much 'til now
And you've almost lost
Your will to live
No matter what you've been through
Long as there's breath in you
There is always one more time
And if your dreams go bad
Every one that you've had
That don't mean that some dreams
Can't come true
'Cause it's funny about dreams
As strange as it seems
There is always one more time
Oh turnin' corners
Is only a state of mind
Keeping your eyes closed
Is worse than being blind
If there's a heart out there
Looking for someone to share
I don't care if it's been
Turned down time and time again
And if we meet one day
Please don't walk away
'Cause there is always one more time
There is always one more time
