"Deep Elem Blues"

"Deep Elem Blues"


Now if you go down to Deep Elem
Put your money in your shoes
'cause those women in Deep Elem
Got those Deep Elem Blues
Well, Mama, your daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues
Now let me tell you something, sugar
Your daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues

Now when you walk into the parlour
Hang your hat up on the rack
Telephone your good looking daddy
Honey, you ain't coming back
Well, Mama, I got those Deep Elem Blues
I got those Deep Elem Blues
Let me tell you something baby
Your daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues
Yeah!

Well you go down in Deep Elm
Put your money in your sock
The redheads in Deep Elem
Put a man out on the rock
Well, Mama, daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues
Now let me tell you something, baby
Your daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues

Now let me tell you something, baby
You sure look good to me
When we go down in Deep Elem
You look like a Christmas tree
Well, Mama, I got those Deep Elem Blues
Now let me tell you something, baby
Daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues

"Detroit City"

"Detroit City"


I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home.

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city,
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home,
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother,
And I dreamed about that girl, who's been waitin' for so long

I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home

Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city,
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine,
But by day I make the cars, and by night I make the bars,
If only they could read between the lines

I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home

You know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit city,
And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time,
So I think I'll take my foolish pride, put it on a southbound freight and ride,
Go on back to the ones I left, who've been waitin' for so long

I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home.

"Don't Be Ashamed Of Your Age"

"Don't Be Ashamed Of Your Age"


Don't be ashamed of your age.
Don't let the years get you down.
That old gang you knew
They still think of you
As a rounder in your old hometown.

Don't mind the grey in your hair.
Just think of all the fun you've had
Puttin' it there.
As for that old book of time
You've never skipped a page
So don't be ashamed of your age, brother.
Don't be ashamed of your age.

Listen, Mr. Smith, Mr. Brown,
Don't let your age get you down.

Life ain't begun
Until you're 40, son.
That's when you really start to go to town.

Don't wish that you were a lad.
Why, boy, you've lost more gals
than they've ever had
And, listen, you've graduated
From that ol' sucker stage,
So don't be ashamed of your age, brother.
Don't be ashamed of your age.

"Don't Be Cruel"
(originally by Elvis Presley)



You know I can be found sittin' home all alone
If you can't come around a least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Baby if I made you mad for somethin' I might have said
Please let's forget the past the future looks bright ahead

Let's walk up to the preacher and let us say I do
Then you gonna have me baby I got a little bitty your love too
And don't don't don't don't be cruel

"Don't Boogie Woogie (When You Say Your Prayers Tonight)"

"Don't Boogie Woogie (When You Say Your Prayers Tonight)"



I was feelin' kind of poorly, hadn't been lookin' too fine
I just had to found out what was ailin' this old body of mine
So I went to my family doctor
To get my temperature and set me straight
And the first thing he did was to tell me
To quit eatin' every good thing I ate
And he told old Jerry Lee to stop smokin'
Lay off of that beer and whiskey
He said, son you gonna have to have a little help
And confidentially he looked at Jerry Lee
He shook his head, and then he said
Like a friend he took my hand and he said:

Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
Son, you can't boogie woogie when you send your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
Jerry Lee, you been over-rockin', you know that it ain't right
You better turn on Jesus when you switch out the light
Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)

He wired me up like spaceman and he turned on the cardiograph
The needle went out of sight, the doc turned white
He called in his entire staff
And he cried out in disbelief
Told the killer with staring conviction
He said, if you don't live right son
You're gonna die of cholesterol constriction
He looked at me, he shook his head
Here's a perspective that I think you're gonna dread

You can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
You can't do it, you can't do it son, it ain't right
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
You better quit rockin' boy, you know it ain't right
You better turn on Jesus when you turn off the light
Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
Wow, give it to me now!

(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)

(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)

Oh, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
You can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
Son, you been over-rockin' and you know that it ain't right
You better turn on Jesus when you switch off the light
Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight

"Don't Let Go"


Hear that whistle it's ten o'clock come on baby it's time to rock
I'm so happy I got you here keeps me grinnin' for ear to ear
Oowee this feelin's killin' me
Ah shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so just hold me tight and don't let go

Thunder lightning wind and rain love is stormin' inside my brain
I'm so eager I'm nearly dyin' you've been keeping your lips from mine
Oowee this feelin's killin' me...

Hound dog barkin' up side the hill love is draggin' him through the mill
If it wasn't for havin' you I'd be walkin' and a howlin' too
Oowee this feelin's killin' me...

One day baby you'll get me yet I'll be cryin' and soakin' wet
One thing baby I'll never stand your lips kissin' some other man
Oowee this feelin's killin' me...
Hold me tight and don't let go hold me baby and don't let go
Hold me tight and don't let go

"Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes"

"Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes"


Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love

Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons to change your mind
If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love

Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
Ah please keep your heart while we are apart
Don't you linger in the moonlight when I'm gone

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
You're the only one I'll ever love

"Down The Line"
(originally by Roy Orbison)



Well, you can't be my lovin' baby
You ain't got the style
I'm a-gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild
I wanna move, move on down the line
Gonna get me a gal, then I go out on the town
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, make some time
She can't be square, she can't be slow
And when she starts a-struttin' she's gotta go
I'm gonna move, move on down the line
Well, I'm in love, have been all the time

Yeah, I'm gonna show you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone
We're gonna roll on, roll on down the line
I'm gonna get some love, lovin' that's truly fine
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get some lovin, truly fine
A love that'll be twice as gone
And when she starts a-struttin' she's gotta go
I wanna move on, move on down the line
Well, I'm gonna do right, do right all the time
I'm gonna do right, do right all the time
