"Sign Language"

"Sign Language"

You speak to me in sign language,
As I'm eating a sandwich in a small cafe
At a quarter to three.

But I can't respond to your sign language.
You're taking advantage, bringing me down.
Can't you make any sound?

'Twas there by the bakery, surrounded by fakery.
This is my story, still I'm still there.
Does she know I still care?

Link Wray was playing on a jukebox, I was paying
For the words I was saying, so misunderstood.
He didn't do me no good.

[Repeat First Verse]

"Since You Said Goodbye"

"Since You Said Goodbye"

Rain keeps fallin' on my head
Sun keeps burnin' out my eyes
Lord the moon he knows I'm blue
And it's all because of you

Ever since you said goodbye
Black cloud hangin' over me
I can't seem to do it right
Lord the wind it never blows
The river never flows

Ever since you said goodbye
Sunny days have come and gone
Heaven knows I'm here cryin'
Lord the moon he knows I'm blue
And it's all because of you
Ever since you said goodbye

"Singin' The Blues"

"Singin' The Blues"

I've been working so hard,
Just came home from my job.
Looked down in my wallet,
Good God, I've been robbed.

Now where can my money be,
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I going to do now?
I got my bills to pay.

[Chorus:]
You got me singin' the blues,
And I'm paying all my dues.
You got me singin' the blues,
Ain't got nothing to lose.

I got to tell you I got the blues down in my pockets.
People, what did I say?
Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow,
Why I need my ten dollars today.

[Chorus]

Ain't no way to get even
Because, you know what I mean,
Every time I make me some money
Somebody's going to take it from me.

[Chorus 2x]

"Sinner's Prayer"

"Sinner's Prayer"

Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord,
Have mercy if you please.

I used to have plenty of money,
The finest clothes in town,
But bad luck and trouble overtaken me,
Bound to get me down.

Please have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord,
Have mercy if you please.

Keep on working now, child.
Lord every morning.

Well if I've been a bad boy, baby,
I declare I'll change my ways.
I don't want bad luck and trouble
To follow me all my days.

[Chorus]

"Sleeping In The Ground"

"Sleeping In The Ground"

I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground,
I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground
Than to stay around here
If you're gonna put me down.

Well, I give you all my money,
Everything I own.
Well, I give you all my money,
Everything I own.
Well, some day I'm gonna get lucky,
And down the road you know I'm goin'.

Well, I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground,
Well, I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground
Than to stay around here
If you're gonna put me down.

You know I give you all my money,
Yeah little girl, everything I own.
Well, I give you all my money,
Everything I own.
Well, today I'm gonna get lucky,
And down the road you know I'm goin'.

"Slow Down Linda"

"Slow Down Linda"

Well, if you're looking for a winner, then you know you've got to go with me.
I've got more ashes than Wednesday and you know I can brew my tea.
I'm fixing to teach you everything I know,
I'll take you with me baby everywhere I go.
If I can catch you for a minute I know you'll take a chance with me.

[Chorus:]
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you think that you could save a little time with me?
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company?

I've seen you speeding down the highway when you ought to dig the scenery.
And you can wolf down your dinner in the time it takes to drink my tea.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer you always go too fast for me.

[Chorus]

I think that you're getting too old to be running around,
I think that it's time you thought about settling down,
So slow down, slow down Linda,
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company.

You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer, you always go too fast for me.

[Chorus 2x]

"Smile"

"Smile"

Smile, though your heart is aching.
Smile, even though it's breaking.
Though there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by...

If you smile through your fears and sorrows.
Smile and maybe tomorrow.
You'll see the sun come shining through.

If you just light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.

That's the time you must keep on trying.
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile, come on and smile.

If you just smile.

"So Tired"

"So Tired"

Get up in the morning already yawning and I'm so tired
I Ain't had a wink of sleep seems like all week
We're So tired
The Baby's only feeding and one of them is teething
They're So tired
They get up before the dawn I don't know how we carry on
We're so tired

Thank God their mama is a natural
She knows exactly what to do
And as for me I think I'd go insane
I just wouldn't have a clue

You know we try to do our best
Just don't get no rest
We're so tired
Would do it all again you can bet your life my friend
But I'm So tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
We're So tired So Tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
So tired So tired

Just can't wait til the sun goes down and all the kids have gone to bed
Trying to sleep you know but sleep won't come
With all the stuff goin through my head

Well its play group on thursday Music class on Friday, I'm so tired
And Now Mamas getting snappy
Daddy won't change no messy
And I'm so tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
So tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
So tired

Sometime I think I'll just go on to bed
I must have better things to do
When Its time to get my good night kiss
My dreams have all come true
Bomp ba da da da da da
So Tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
So tired
So tired... So tired
So tired... So tired
So tired... So tired
So tired... So tired

"Somebody's Knockin'"

"Somebody's Knockin'"

Somebody's knocking
Somebody's knocking at my door
Somebody's knocking
Somebody's knocking on my door
Well, it must be my woman
Coming 'round here for more

Somebody whispers
Somebody whispers in my ear
Somebody whispers
Somebody whispers in my ear
It must be my woman
I can feel her when she's near

O-o-o-o, she can get right down
O-o-o-o, she can get right down
Oh, it must be my woman
Make me love when I am down

"Someday"
(with Mark Knopfler)

"Someday"
(with Mark Knopfler)

Someday she'll be here, that's a fact
Someday, she'll be coming right back
Maybe I'm dreaming
I hope it's not so, but
Someday she's comin' back I know
You know I'm ready, to see her again
When that someday will never end

When she left with no goodbye
I was stuck with those lonely nights
You know what I mean, it's always the same
Ain't no medicine for that kind of pain
Someday comes and goes away
Bringing me a better day

Ain't no pity, ain't no shame
I hope that someday will come again
Maybe I'm dreaming
I hope it's not so
Somedays' comin', it's comin' I know
Maybe I'm dreaming
I hope it's not so
Somedays' comin', it's comin' I know
