"It's Still Called The Blues"

"It's Still Called The Blues"


People Got Money
Still Got problems
Got to the doctor
And try to solve them
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues
Baby needs new shoes
Mama needs a new dress
Daddy's out scufflin'
Tryin' to do his best
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues
Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again
You party on a Saturday
Go to church on Sunday
Fun leaves you because
Gotta work on Monday
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues
Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again
Ain't got no money
To pay the rent
Baby's gone
You spent your last cent
Mm, still called the blues
Still called the blues, y'all
Anyway you look at it
Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again

"Jack, You're Dead!"

"Jack, You're Dead!"


When you've got no more assurance
Than a great big hunk of lead
If you don't respond to romance
Jack, you're dead!

When a chick is smiling at you
Even though there's nothing said
If you stand there like a statue
Jack, you're dead!

You've been always kicking
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like old man Mose

When you get no kicks from loving
And you blow your top instead
It's a fact that you ain't living
Jack, you're dead!

If you just ain't got nobody
Since you've gone and lost your head
Rigor Mortis has set in daddy
Jack, you're dead!

What's the use of having muscles
When your life hangs by a thread
If you ain't got no red corpuscles
Jack, you're dead!
You've been always kicking
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like old man Mose

When you get no kicks from loving
And the news begins to spread
All the cats will holler, "Murder!"
Jack, you're dead!
All the breaths leaked out of you
When your friends gather round the bed
And look at you and say, "Um, um, um, don't he look natural"
When that happens to you, daddy
Jack, you're dead!

She started to think about Him
The man that gave her water, Lord
And it was not from the well

"Jump With You Baby"

"Jump With You Baby"


Well, my head is spinnin'
Like a spinnin' top
I got rhythm in my feet
And I really wanna hop
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
Babe, I mean tonight
I got money to waste
A car to drive
We'll go out and play
The joints a little while
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
Babe, I mean tonight
And we'll take in a show
And go to a dance
You won't be lonesome
'Cause I'll make romance
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
Babe, I mean tonight
Now wait, let's have a little taste
'Cause haste makes waste
We might wanna stop
At another little place
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
Babe, I mean tonight

"Jungle"

"Jungle"


I may go and move to the jungle now
Way out in the woods
Yes, I think I'll move to the jungle people
Move way out in the woods
Yes, because the way things are here now
Well, I ain't doin' myself no good
I work hard everyday
From Monday to Friday night
The wages that they pay me
I swear that they're very light
The take out a little for the state
A little more for Uncle Sam
How can I ever catch up
And get myself out of this jam
Yes, I think I'll move to the jungle
Move way out in the woods
Yes, because the way things are here now
Well, I ain't doin' myself no good
I go to town on Saturday
Just to pay my bills
I better make it early
Or the collector will come where I live
I got to church on a Sunday
I get on my knees to pray
Preacher takes up collection
And say brother what will you pay
I think I'll move to the jungle
Move way out in the woods
Yes, because the way things are here now
Well, I ain't doin' myself no good

"Just A Dream"

"Just A Dream"


Well, I wanna tell the story about a hard luck guy
Nobody seems to love me, I guess that's the reason why
Just dreams, dreams all night long and through the day
Yes, and it's so sad, oh, to break my heart this way
Yes, I'm not handsome or romantic, I don't have wavy hair
Won't you girls please have mercy
The way you treat me ain't fair
Why does bad luck follow me
Oh, dreams, seems that's all that's left for me
Well, I just can't get no place with a doggone thing I plan
Every girl I try my luck on belongs to some other man
Where, where, where is the one I'm dreaming of
All gone, gone with last night's dreams of love
Yes, last night as I lay sleepin', I dreamed about a queen
And it hurt me so bad, people
To wake up and find out it was just a dream
Dream, dream is all I can do
Oh, I'm so tired dreamin' dreams, dreams
That won't come true

"Just A Little Love"

"Just A Little Love"


Some people die for hate
Some die for love
Some die because
They don't have mate
But all I want
All I want is a little love
All I've ever wanted, people
All I want is just a little love

All I want (All I want)
A little bit of love (A little bit of love)
All I want (All I want)
Is a little bit of love (Is a little bit of love)
All I want (All I want)
Is just a little bit of love (Is just a little bit of love)

Everybody say the world is large
But to me it's very small
Out of all of these women
I can't find no true love at all
All I want
Is just a little love
All I've ever wanted, mm
Is just a little love

All I want (All I want)
Is a little bit of love (Is a little bit of love)
All I want (All I want)
Is a little bit of love (Is a little bit of love)
I say all I want (All I want)
Is just a little bit of love (Is just a little bit of love)

All I want (All I want)
Is a little bit of love (Is a little bit of love)
All I need (All I need)
Is a little bit of love (Is a little bit of love)
All I want (All I want)
Is just a little bit of love (Is just a little bit of love)

All I want
Is a little bit of love
All I want
Is a little bit of love
All I want
Is just a little bit of love

"Just Can't Please You"

"Just Can't Please You"


Hey, little girl, baby, what's wrong with you?
I've done everything I knew to do
I've tried so hard, I tried, sorry, just can't please you

Hey, little girl, I've given you all that you need
And I've been a good man, a good man indeed
I've tried so hard, you misuse me
But I tried, sorry, just can't please you

I brought you happiness when you were mad
I even made you smile when you are sad
Leaving you, baby, may make you mad
But you will soon realize what a good man you have

Hey, little girl, honey, what's wrong with you?
I say I've done everything for you, baby, I know to do
I've tried so hard, you misuse me, sorry, just can't please you

Hey, I brought you happiness when you were sad
I even made you smile, baby, when you were mad
Leaving you, baby, may make you mad
But you'll soon find out what a good man you have

Little girl, baby what's wrong with you?
Hey, I've done everything for you, everything I knew to do
I've tried so hard, you misuse me
But I tried, sorry, just can't please you

Gave you everything mink coats
Even bought you a brand new home
Everything a full man can do for you
You know I've done it, baby

Can you hear me?
Worked hard everyday
Still can't feed you, baby

"Just Like A Woman"

"Just Like A Woman"


There was Adam, happy as a man could be
Till Eve got him messin' with that old apple tree

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Samson thought Delilah was on the square
Till one night she clipped him all his hair

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

From our history books we all learned
Nero fiddled while Rome was burned

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Marie Antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate
They was crying for bread, she said, "Let them eat cake"

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

You can buy a woman clothes
And give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She ain't never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

"Key To My Kingdom"

"Key To My Kingdom"


(Boy, this one here pulls the juice out of you.)
At the end of my rainbow
I seek no golden prize
For the key to my kingdom
Is the glow in your eyes
Gain and power and riches
Are thrills I'll never miss
For the key to my kingdom
Is the thrill of your kiss
Baby, I have more
Than fame and fortune
Every time I hold your hand
And my darling
When our lips meet
All the world's at my command
Yeah, if you ever
Ever should leave me
My world would tumble down
Because you're the key to my kingdom
And your love is my crown
Oh I have more than fame and fortune
Every time I hold your hand
And my darling
When our lips meet
All the world's at my command
Yes, yes, if you ever
Ever should leave me
All of my world would tumble down
For you're the key to my kingdom
And your love is my crown
Yeah, you're the key to my kingdom
And your love is my crown
Yeah, you're the key to my kingdom
And your love, your love is my crown
