"Baby What You Want Me To Do"
(originally by Jimmy Reed)

You got me cryin', you got me lyin'
You got me cryin', lyin', anyway you want
And I'll roll, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doin' what you want me, any way you want me to go?

You see me up, you see me down
You see me up, down, down, up, anyway you want
And I'll roll, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doin' what you want me, any way you want me to go?

You keep me reelin', you keep me rockin'
You keep me reelin', rockin', anyway you want
And I'll go, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doin' what you want me, any way you want me to go?

"Back In The U.S.A."

"Back In The U.S.A."

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We just touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home from overseas to the USA

New York, Los Angeles, oh how I yearned for you
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Let alone just to be at my home back in ol' St-Lou

Did I miss the skyscrapers? Did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, 'til I got back to the USA

Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner cafe?
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a jukebox jumping with records like in the USA

Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA
Yes, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA
Anything you want, they got it right here in the USA
I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA
Yes, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA

"Back To Memphis"

"Back To Memphis"

I've been struggling up here, child, trying to make a living
Everybody wants to take, nobody like giving
I wish I was in Memphis back home there with my Mama
The only clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas
No brotherly love, no help, no danger
Just a great big town full of cold hearted strangers

I went hungry in New York and Chicago was no better
But today, my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter
Son, come back to Memphis and live here with your Mama
You can walk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas
You know home folks here, we let do just what you want to
And I born you and raised you right here on the corner

I'm going to leave here in the morning and walk down to the station
I've got just enough money to pay my transportation
I'm going back to Memphis, back home with my Mama
If I have to ride that bus barefooted in pajamas
Back home in Memphis, no moaning and groaning
I know everything will be all right in the morning

"Beautiful Delilah"

"Beautiful Delilah"

Beautiful Delilah, sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look from fellas passin' by
Everytime I see her she's with a different guy
Beautiful Delilah, that's the reason why
Rebecca don't allow me to fool around with you
You are so tantalizing, you just can't be true

Beautiful Delilah dressed in the latest style
Swingin' like a pendulum walkin' down the aisle
Deep romantic eyes, speak so low and mild
Maybe you will settle down and marry after a while

Beautiful Delilah bathin' in the sun
Audience of seventeen, and notice not a one
Local Casanova
Wouldn't be outdone
Let her steal his heart away and break it just for fun

"Big Boys"

"Big Boys"

When I was just a little boy like you
I wanted to do things the big boys do
Wherever they went you knew they wouldn't let me go
And I got suspicious and I wanted to know
I was bright in school but my future looked dim
'Cause the big boys wouldn't let me party with them

Yes, yes
I didn't cry
Yes, yes
And you know why
Yes, yes
I knew when and what
Yes, yes
No ifs, ands, or buts
I was looking for joy
Yes, yes, yes, yes
When I was little bitty boy

All of the big girls with their to
And I asked them what's happening, nobody knew
But when I found out where, what, when, and why
I didn't let a single week pass by
Till the school dance when I first met you
And I learned to party like the big boys do

Yes, yes
I didn't cry
Yes, yes
And you know why
Yes, yes
I knew when and what
Yes, yes
No ifs, ands, or buts
I was looking for joy
Yes, yes, yes, yes
When I was little bitty boy

If I would have known what makes a world go 'round
I would have known what goes up must come down
If you love me like I love you
Mademoiselle, je vous aime, voulez-vous?
The girls want to stay and the boys want to play
So let's a-rock and roll till the break of day

Yes, yes
I didn't cry
Yes, yes
And you know why
Yes, yes
I knew when and what
Yes, yes
No ifs, ands, or buts
I was looking for joy
Yes, yes, yes, yes
When I was little bitty boy

"Bio"

"Bio"

Lord have mercy, got to tell it, tell it just like it is, every word.

Yeah! I was living in St. Louis
In the year of nineteen fifty five
Mama didn't have no great mansion,
Just a little old country dive.
Papa worked all week long,
Try to keep us six kids alive.

So I hitch hiked to Chicago
Just to hear Muddy Waters play
I sat and listened to him sing
Until the early hours of day
I asked him what I could do to make it
And it was he who showed me the way

I went back home and wrote a song
And made a record I could claim
The little tune jumped on the charts
And rode me right on up to fame
It netted over ten thousand dollars
And added glory to my name

I was standing at the airport
With my guitar in my hand
And a first class ticket
Destination movie land
I will be in Hollywood, Mama
Before the roosters crow again

When I first started playing music
Over sixteen years ago
Every big town in the country
From St. Francisco to Baltimore
Trying to bring some happy hours
Doing the only thing I know

Can't help it, but I love it
Stand here, sing to you
Brings back so many memories
Many things we used to do
'till I see you here again
Take care, good luck to you

"Bordeaux In My Pirough"

"Bordeaux In My Pirough"

So long, Jean, got a little show, thanks for the Bordeaux
I got to go, push my pirough way down the bayou
They got a band up on the stand and a beautiful light show
Au revoir, Jean, dig the show from up on the plateau

In my pirough, with my Bordeaux, out on the bayou
Creeping along, singing a song, c'est, c'est bon, bon
Playing the music on my acoustic Spanish guitaro
Having a duet with my coquette out on the bayou

It's growing night, we've got no lights out on the bayou
Beautiful trip, think we'll sip some of my Bordeaux
Two more miles going wild to play my acoustic
See them stand to clap their hands to hear my music

One more mile, we rested awhile and sipped on some Bordeaux
While we's grooving, a fog was moving in on the bayou
On my knee, just couldn't see the front of my pirough
We didn't mind, we just reclined and sipped some more Bordeaux

Ay-ay, Jean, I missed the show up on the plateau
Si vous plait, push my pirough back up the bayou
No see the band, no see the stand, no see the light show
Ahh, Jean, we had a show out on the bayou

"Bound To Lose"

"Bound To Lose"

Looks like I'll go on through my life bound in sorrow
I'm a loser right from the start
Now I've lost the only one I really loved
And I'm bound to this pain in my heart

I am bound because I am so much in love with you
And I know that this love's all in vain
When you let anyone have the love you say is mine
It proves to me I'm a loser again

I am bound with so many sweet memories of you
What more can a poor loser do?
I can't change your ways, I can't make you love me more
I am bound to this crave I have for you

I was bound to lose you when I first fell in love with you
I thought I'd try and love again
Oh, I lost, but kept my chin up and I would pull through every time
But losing you has laid my head in my hands

"Broken Arrow"

"Broken Arrow"

Cochise's warriors on a mountain side
(I ain't never doing that again)
Met up with Geronimo's enemy tribe
(I ain't never doing that again)
There was a broken arrow here and a bloody arrow there
A head broken, back busted, bones bloody bloody bones
Cochise met up with Geronimo's tribe
(I ain't never doing that again)

Sent my lady downtown to shop
(I ain't never doing that again)
She evidently didn't know when to stop
(I ain't never doing that again)
With a mink stole here and a chinchilla there
A here fur, there fur, fur where I don't know
Sent my lady downtown to shop
(I ain't never doing that again)

I bet all I had on a hearsay sure shot
(I ain't never doing that again)
The horse started walking because the sun got hot
(I ain't never doing that again)
I had a bill lying here and a bill lying there
A home bill, gas bill, all but a dollar bill
I bet all I had on a hearsay sure shot
(I ain't never doing that again)
