"Please Send Me Someone To Love"

"Please Send Me Someone To Love"


When the evening, the evening sun goes down
You gonna find me somewhere hanging around
The night life, people, it ain't no good life
But it's my life, yeah
All the people just like you and me
Everybody's dreaming
Dreaming about their old used to be
The night life, hey, it ain't no good life, people
Oh but it's my life
Yes listen to the blues, people
Listen to what they're saying
Yes listen to the blues, people
Listen to the way they're playing
Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love
Show the world, show them how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
Nights I lay awake and ponder world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Unless man put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame
Just because I'm, because I'm in misery
Oh I don't beg, I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, yeah
Oh the night life, people it ain't no good life
But it's my life, yeah
So please, please, please, please, please, please
Please send me someone to love
Someone to love

"Please Set A Date"

"Please Set A Date"


Hey baby, baby please set a date
Hey baby, baby please set a date
Well, don't say tomorrow
'Cause tomorrow is too far away

Now, when I want some lovin'
I really want it bad
But the way you've been doin' baby
You really makes me mad
Hey baby, baby please set a date
Well, don't say tomorrow
'Cause tomorrow is too far away

Now, when I want some lovin'
My face gets full of frowns
Now baby, if you don't hurry
I'm going to leave your town
Hey baby, baby please set a date
Well, don't say tomorrow
'Cause tomorrow is too far away

Now, when we first met, baby
We swore we wouldn't part
But the way you're doin' me lately
You're really breakin' my heart
Hey baby, baby please set a date
Well, don't say tomorrow
'Cause tomorrow is too far away

"Power Of The Blues"

"Power Of The Blues"


Get it while it's hot.

I've been all over Europe
And across the sea
With each new place
It gets clearer to me
Week after week
On tour with my band
You don't have to speak
'Cause they all understand

The power of the blues
Hey, hey, the power of the blues
And that's good news
I'm talking about the power of the blues

Yes, it's just a few changes
That I won't deny
But if you think it's easy
You just give it a try
You know the truth
But you're afraid to say it
That it ain't what I play
It's the way that I play it

That's the power of the blues
Yes, the power of the blues
You'll change your views
When you hear the power of the blues

Now me and Lucille
We're gonna stop this war
I'm no politician
But I know the score
You can call me a hawk
Or maybe I'm a dove
But all we gotta do
Is shoot 'em full of love

With the power of the blues
Hey, the power of the blues
It's the thing to use
Talking about the power of the blues
Yes, I am

"Pray For You"

"Pray For You"


Know I love you for myself
Yes, and you're gone to somebody else
And I'm worried yes, I'm worried all alone

I go to bed prayin' each night
I'm hopin' darlin', you'll treat me right
And I'm worried yes, as a man can be

All I can do is pray
Hope that maybe I'll find you someday
But until then, darlin' I'll pray all day long

I'll do everything I can
Tryin' to get you to understand
I don't want to see you round, darlin' with other men

Ah, you know I love you, love you for myself
Gone and left me for somebody else
All I can do is pray for you

"Precious Lord"

"Precious Lord"


Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help me stand
Lord, I'm tired, Lord, I'm so weak
Lord, You know I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home

When my way, it gets kind of dreary
Precious Lord, somewhere near
When my light is almost gone

Hear my cry, Lord, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home

"Questionnaire Blues"

"Questionnaire Blues"


I've got my questionaire
Aand they need me in the war
I've got my questionaire
Aand they need me in the war
Yes, if I have to commit murder
Won't have to (???)

I want the thirty two-twenty
Made on a forty-five frame
I want the thirty two-twenty
Made on a forty-five frame
And a red, white and blue fag
Wear it in my right hand

Yeah, you can tell my baby
Tell her to please wait for me
Yeah, you can tell my baby
Tell her to please wait for me
Well I meet her one mornin'
Down by that old Red Sea

"Quit My Baby"

"Quit My Baby"


Well, I work hard everyday
Come home straight with my pay
My baby either drink it up
Or she threw it all away
I'm gonna quit my baby
If she don't stop cheatin' and lyin'
Well, I would rather be alone
Than to be worried out of my mind
Well, I give her all of my money
I think I'm being kind
She buy a quart of bad whiskey
And the rest is beer and wine
Well, a few nights ago
I had to work kinda late
Somebody broke out of my house
Just like he was Superman's mate
Well, four o'clock in the morning, when I staggered in the block
The little moonshine joint and the rest just begin to rock
I sneaked inside to get a better view
I caught my baby doin' the mambo too

"Rainin' All The Time"

"Rainin' All The Time"


Do I have to have sleepless nights?
Do my days have to be so blue?
Do I have to have sleepless nights?
Do my days have to be so blue?
Will I have to suffer for the rest of my life?
Just because I'm so in love with you.
Will the sun have to shine
In this poor heart of mine?
Will the sun have to shine
In this poor heart of mine?
Or will it just keep on rainin'
Will it just keep on rainin' all the time?
The nights in my lonely room
I wake up from my sleep just to cry.
The nights in my lonely room
I wake up from my sleep just to cry.
You know I'll be thinking about you, baby
Every night about this time.
The people think I'm crazy
Think I don't have too much to say.
The people think I'm crazy
Think I don't have too much to say.
But you'll never know how I feel, people
Until you've been hurt this way.

"Raining In My Heart"

"Raining In My Heart"


Rainin' in my heart
Since we been apart
I know I was wrong
Baby please come home
You got me cryin'
'Bout to lose my mind
Don't let me cry in vain
Try my love just once again

Honey, I need your love
Darlin', you know why
If you would come back home
There'll be no need for me to cry

Rainin' in my heart
Since we been apart
I know I was wrong
Baby please come home
