DAYS GO BY

DAYS GO BY

When you light that funny cigarette
Would you pass it back to me
I'm feeling a little down and out
And it'll keep me company
I'm just a long lost sinner
Living life here on the line
I'll give it right back to you
I know it's not really mine
Now don't put it out, not right yet
It's burning pretty good
Maybe I'll have one more toke
You think I should
OO-oo, days go by
I just sit around and get real high
OO-oo, what a glow
I just hang out, they come and go
Hey, the walls are starting to move
The floor is way down there
What a buzz it is
There's electricity in the air
Boy, I'm feeling really gone
I'm feeling really cool
I think I'll have another one
I'm just another fool
You know they say it's illegal
But what isn't these days
No matter what you do
There'll be somebody on your case
OO-oo, days go by
It just seems like I sit around and get high
OO-oo, shame on me
They're going to put me in a penitentiary
I must not be together
Look at the shape I'm in
I just know people are saying
"He's looking awful thin"
I guess I can count my blessings
Though I've always been this way
I guess I'll quit tomorrow
Maybe another day
OO-oo, days go by
I guess I'll sit around and get real high
You know time has no absolute
It's a just seems like it's spent
Everything has a tendency to be so warped and bent
While looking here and there
I'm surprised to see
Everybody's gone here
Everybody's gone but me
OO-oo, days go by
I just sit around and get real high
OO-oo, what a glow
I just hang out, they come and go

DEEP DARK DUNGEON

DEEP DARK DUNGEON

I knew a man, made a heavy move
He shot his wife, his best friend too
They put him away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine
I knew a woman, had a jealous mind
She got a man, she caught him lying
They put her away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine
A friend of mine, he got five years
For selling dope and bootleg beers
They put him away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine
Oh, Sleepy John had one vice
He liked to cheat at cards and dice
They put him away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine

DEVIL IN DISGUISE

DEVIL IN DISGUISE

From the California shore to New York City
The beat don't never stop
You can hear it on the radio anywhere you go
It's steady as the rhythm of a clock
It cuts through the noise of the city life
It won't seem to go away
It's the devil in disguise I tell you no lies
My fingers do the walking everyday
Yonder comes a young girl she wants to take a whirl
She thinks it's all a dream
She got rock and roll way down in her soul
She wants to know where's the limousine
Get up honey let your mama sit down
You're too young anyway
The devil in disguise give her the prize
Then you can carry her away
When the road I travel starts to unravel
Every which way it goes
The beat starts to press on my bullet proof vest
And my high turns out to be low
Give me my guitar I'm going to go far
Let me see it let me hold it in my hand
I'm the devil in disguise I tell you no lies
I'm playing in a rock 'n roll band

DEVIL'S NURSE

DEVIL'S NURSE

Down along the palm trees, in a south kind of bay
There was a young woman, walked the beach every day
She had long dark hair and a high heeled size
She was full in the bosom, with dark brown eyes
A devil's woman
With the devil's curse
Satan's lady
She was the devil's nurse
Fortune-teller sister long and bred
Lay down next to you and stroke your head
She had a way about her, it's hard to explain
Brings chills to your body and blood to your veins
A devil's woman
With the devil's curse
Satan's lady
She was the devil's nurse
She can make the sun rise and the sun set and the blues go away
Turn light into darkness and night into day
She was from a casualty sector, lost in the night
A bonafide spiritual lady, a congo's delight
A devil's woman
With the devil's curse
Satans' lady
She was the Devil's nurse

DIGITAL BLUES

DIGITAL BLUES

I got the digital blues, my soul is just another number
I got the digital blues, my soul is just another number
You check it out, we're all the same
You check it out, we're one again
I got the digital blues, my soul is just another number
Three forty-four point six, is that really me
Three forty-four point six, you're kidding me
How did we get into the shape we're in
I check it out, I'm one again
I got the digital blues, my soul is just another number
In the year thirty-two thirty-two, how will they remember me
In the year thirty-two thirty-two, how will they remember me
My appetite will be a digital code
Information in the new code
I got the digital blues, my soul is just another number
I got the digital blues, my soul is just another number

DISADVANTAGE

DISADVANTAGE

Sometime in the morning, before the break of day
I lose my direction, I can't find my way
I can't find nobody to tell my troubles to
I get so sad and lonesome
Guess I'll tell 'em all to you
Got me at a disadvantage, you had me outta here
I just want loving, the way don't seem clear
Got me at a disadvantage, that's the way I feel
Love is forever
Love is for real
Some kind of fascination, that's the reason why
First time I seen you, you were so shy
Got me at a disadvantage, that's the way I feel
Love is forever
Love is for real

DOCTOR TOLD ME

DOCTOR TOLD ME

Well my heart ain't in it
My mind is blank
Can't seem to function
Can't seem to think
Doctor told me cure your ills
Get yourself a woman boy that'll pay your bills
Have her clean your house, make your bed
Rub your bottom down, hold your head
Get yourself a lover, a friend and a wife
Get yourself a woman boy, get yourself a life
Doctor told me
Doctor told me
Doctor told me get yourself a life
Well, I got out on the street and I looked around
here come a woman, she was fine and brown
I said "Come here baby, my name is Bob
I'm a long, tall lover, but I ain't got no job"
Doctor told me (I told her)
Doctor told me
Doctor told me get yourself a life
Well she looked at me with a sparkle in her eye
Told me I was crazy, told me I was high
"Get outta here", she said, "or I'll cut you with my knife"
You better be gone boy, get yourself a life
Doctor told me
Doctor told me (I told her)
Doctor told me get yourself a life
Here I'm standin' 'round this lonesome old house
Ain't got nobody, ain't got no spouse
I sure feel bad, i sure feel blue
One thing I sure feel, I'm sure needin' you
Doctor told me
Doctor told me
Doctor told me get yourself a life

DON'T CRY SISTER

DON'T CRY SISTER

Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright in the morning
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine
Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, I tell you no lie
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it
When Old Man Trouble knocks on your door
Don't give him no key, he just wants more
He'll turn your life to misery
Kick you down, just like me
Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine
Woke downhearted and you feel so bad
Somebody wants something of nothing you had
Love don't come too easy, you see
A little bit of you and a little bit of me
Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine
Everything'll be just fine
Everything'll be just fine
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it

DON'T GO TO STRANGERS

DON'T GO TO STRANGERS

If I'm standing in a crowd
Call my name, call it loud
Don't go to strangers
Woman, call on me
Wave your arms in the air
Let me know that you're there
When in doubt
Oh woman, call on me
Don't leave me here to rust
Don't let me turn to dust
Oh, woman
When in doubt, call on me
If I'm standing in a crowd
Call my name, call it loud
Don't go to strangers
