"Had A Bad Night"



Oh, I had a bad night last night
People you know things just didn't go right
I had a bad, bad, bad night last night
People you know things just didn't go right

You know I lost all my money on the boat
And I'm standing here to tell you all I'm down so broke

I got a call from my baby this morning
Said Buddy you know you just gotta pay
I got a call from my baby this morning, yeah
It said Buddy you just gotta pay

I shook my head and said
People you know this just ain't my day

Oh I went in to a friend of mine
And he was broke, busted and disgusting
Yes, I went to a friend of mine
And he was broke, busted and disgusted
And all he did was shook his had and walked away
And said Buddy Guy, this just ain't my day

That makes two of us

"Hammer And A Nail"

"Hammer And A Nail"



You got in trouble, you was going to jail
Judge asking me, will I draw your bail?
I couldn't refuse 'cause I never fail
And you can't beat that with a hammer and a nail

Lookie hear, I give you everything that I could afford
You keep begging, just asking for more
I gave you a yacht but you say you wanna sail
Well, you can't beat that with a hammer and a nail
No, no, yeah

I'm not the best, not the best in town
I'll be the best till the best comes around
'Cause I promise you, I will never fail
And you can't beat that, with a hammer and a nail
Oh, you can't beat that, with a hammer and a nail
No, no, no

Well, let's see, people enjoy this now
Let's get outta here

"Have You Ever Been Lonesome"

"Have You Ever Been Lonesome"



Have you ever been lonesome
I think you know what I'm talkin' about
I said have you ever been lonesome
Ohhh I think you know what I'm talkin' about
You know I like to be in a dark room
And no one there to let me out
I remember way back
You know when I was about the age of nine
Oh, I said I remember ohh, ohh, way, way, way back
I think about the age of nine
You know I think about some of the good times I was havin' in those days
People and you know it sure to do worry my mind

You know I hate to remember
All those times have slipped by and gone
Ohh, I said I hate, Lord, I hate to remember
Listen, all those times have slipped by and they're gone
You know I get that feeling every now and then
I think I might get my rags and I think I move, move on back home

I still remember that little girl
We used to run around and play with no shoes on our feet
Oh, I said, I still remember that little girl
We used to walk around and play with no shoes on our feet
All those memories go through my mind
And I tell the world that worries me

"Heavy Love"

"Heavy Love"



I got a heavy love, I can't carry it all by myself
I got a heavy love, I can't carry it all by myself
I got both sides of the wagon
Won't you give me a little help

I got a big fat heart, with lots of love on top
I got a big fat heart, with lots of love on top
You better come to my well darling
Before I have a love attack

I'd lay down my burden, if I only could
I'd lay down my burden, you know that I surely would

I got a heavy heart, I can't carry it all alone
You better come to my rescue darling, before all my strength is gone

Two tons of affection, three tons of desire
Will make this love connection set this weight on fire
I got a heavy love bearin' down on me
This love makes me a prisoner, only you can set me free

"Hello San Francisco"

"Hello San Francisco"



Hello San Francisco
Oh, we finally got a chance to meet
Hello, hello San Francisco
Wo, we finally got a chance to meet
I knew someday
That I would walk up and down your hilly streets

You know I love Chicago
Someone tell me it's nineteen and sixty eight
You know I love, I love Chicago
Somewhere around nineteen and sixty eight
But some of my good friends told me
That my baby was headed toward that Golden Gate

You know, I heard she had a boyfriend
And this cat's name was Buddy Joe
You know, I heard she had a boyfriend
And this cat's name was Buddy Joe
I heard he was a big time gambler
And he was running a game down on Philmo

Oh somebody tell me, tell me
Where can this Philmo street be found
Oh somebody, somebody better tell me
Where in the world can this Philmo street be found
You know I'm gonna find my woman down there
You think I'm gonna try to find that Philmo district down

"Help Me Some"

"Help Me Some"



Now you may be sweet little woman
As the apple on a tree
Don't want no woman to lay up
And depend on me

You got to help me some
Yes, you've got to help me some
Don't care what I do
Babe you've got to help me some

Now if I'm the Pullman porter, girl
You've got to be the maid
So when every Saturday come
We both can get paid

So you can help me some
Yes, I want you to help me some
I don't care what I do
Babe, you've got to help me some

Now when I go to bed little girl
And lay up beside-a you
Now if I shake the cover
Please try to shake it too

So you can help me some
Yes, I want you to help me some
And I don't care what I do
Babe you've got to help me some

Help me some little girl, help me some!
Now don't stand there and look at me like that,
C'mon and help me some!
Now that's better, yes, yes, yes, yes

Now there's no such thing as man and wife
Now-a-day
We're just called partners
So you can knock yourself a slave

So you can help me some
Yes, I want you to help me some
I don't care what I do
Babe, you've got to help me some

Put on your high heel sneakers, wear that wig hat on your head

Ohh, I'm playing this morning
Please don't let those jet-engines start

Ohh, I'm playing this morning
Please, please don't let those jet-engines start

When I hear your engines goin'
You know, it almost drives me out of my mind

Oh, but the last few mornings lately
Before I get out of my bed

Oh, but the last few mornings lately
Just before I get out of my bed

You know I can hear your engines goin'
And it almost drives me out of my head

Oh, but the last few mornings lately
Before, before I get out of my bed

Oh, but the last, but the last, but the last few mornings lately
Before, before I get out of my bed

Well, you know I can hear your engines goin'
You know, it almost drives me out of my head

Sail on sail on my little Honey Bee sail on
Sail on sail on my little Honey Bee sail on
I don't mind you sailing
