"Slow Train"

"Slow Train"


There's a slow train coming
It's movin' on down the line
Steel wheels on iron rails
Tonight I'm fixin' to die
Woo, I hope you don't mind pretty mama
Woo-hoo, hope you don't mind if I go

'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises
I ain't gonna see you anymore

There's a slow train coming
Coming right on time
Smokestacks and bottle lightning
This jumper on the line
Woo, I can't do without it anymore pretty mama
Yes, I can't do it without it anymore

'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises
I ain't gonna see you anymore

There's a slow train coming
To march us home from war
With my leather boots and my haversack
Sure can take it no more
Woo, I cried for her baby when I saw you there
Woo-hoo, I cried for her just the same

'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises
I'm gonna cry for you just the same

Well there's a slow train coming
Carrying the mighty worker hordes
Eighteen days in the cotton field
Enough to put a man out of coup d'amour
Woo, It's time to move on pretty mama
Woo-hoo, Yes it's time to move on as I go

As the steam from my slow train rises
It's time for me to get on board

"So Many Roads"

"So Many Roads"


So many roads
So many trains to ride

So many roads
So many trains to ride

I'm gonna find my baby
Before I'll be satisfied

I was standing at my window
When I heard that whistle blow

I was standing at my window
When I heard that whistle blow

I thought it was a straight line
But it was B & O

It was a mean old fireman
And a cruel engineer

It was a mean old fireman
And a cruel engineer

That took my baby
And left me standing here

So many roads
So many trains to ride

So many roads
So many trains to ride

I'm gonna find my baby
Before I'll be satisfied

"So, It's Like That"

"So, It's Like That"


I was under the impression that everything was cool,
I get the feeling now I’m played for a fool.
So it’s like that, so it’s like that.
How easy it is - you break my heart again.

There’s a train that’s runnin’ and I’m tied to the tracks,
The things you say it’s too late to take them back.
So it’s like that, so it’s like that.
How easy it is - you break my heart again.
Oh yeah…

[Lead Break]

You took my best possession to the corner to hock it,
I keep on feelin’ your hands are in my pocket.
So it’s like that, so it’s like that.
How easy it is - you break my heart again.
So it’s like that, so it’s like that.
How easy it is - you break my heart again.
Oh yeah…

"So, What Would I Do"

"So, What Would I Do"


Home for a day
Six more nights, baby
When I go on the road
Feel my presence diminishing, baby

All I need is the truth and a faith
That true love brings

Bless your soul for loving me
And my faults included
Oh, I know
You're the rock
That keeps me grounded

I know it can be a long, winding road
You know I love you so

All I have is you on my mind
You're all that's left for me in my life

'Cause I want to know
You've seen enough with me
'Cause I will survive
This long time away

So, what would I do?
I could go on without you, darling
Oh, I don't know

Now I want to know
You see a life with me
I'll survive
This long time away

So, what would I do?
Just sit and suffer, baby
So, what would I do?
I could go on without you, darling
Oh, I don't know

"Somewhere Trouble Don't Go"
(originally by Buddy Miller)



Devil had a daughter
Took me to deep water
Tried to kill me with a kiss
She said "hey now honey"
What about the money
I said "I ain't got time for this"

She said baby come inside
I said sorry I got to ride
Sorry but I got to ride
You know you could end up dead
Sleeping in the devil's bed
Sleeping in the devil's bed

Take me take me somewhere trouble don't go
Take me take me somewhere trouble don't go

Devil had a daughter
Took me to deep water
Tried to kill me with a kiss
She said "hey now honey"
What about the money
I said "I ain't got time for this"

Baby wants to drive my car
But she wants to go too far
But she wants to go too far
First comes love it's so fine
Here comes heartache right behind
Here comes heartache right behind

Take me take me somewhere trouble don't go
Take me take me somewhere trouble don't go

Devil had a daughter
Took me to deep water
Tried to kill me with a kiss
She said "hey now honey"
What about the money
I said "I ain't got time for this"

"Spanish Boots"

"Spanish Boots"


I used to work and take a salary
In a hole up near a factory
But it did not take me too long
To lace up my boots and say "So long"
Long spanish boots on a "So long!"

I took a day job in Bethlehem
I nearly threw in the towel then
But it did not take me too long
To lace up my boots and say "So long"
I raised high spanish boots on a "So long!"
I took a spanish haberdashery
Restored with 15th century tapestry
Oh, Mr. Nesbitt got the best of me
So I strapped on my boots and said "So long!"
Laced up my high boots and "So long!" yeeaaahh!

"Stick In Love"

"Stick In Love"


I should be medicated - I’m debilitated,
There’s nothing I can do.
Put me where they find ‘em - deep in some asylum,
Let me forget about you.

I’m absolutely, positively, sick in love with you.

Here’s the situation - I need an operation,
Bring me a doctor and a nurse.
Give me anesthetic - isn’t this pathetic?
They are tellin’ me it could be worse.

I’m absolutely, positively, sick in love with you.
I’m absolutely, positively, sick in love with you.
Sick in love…

All my friends said to leave her,
It’s too late, I got the fever.
My brother said, “Forget her now”
But they never met her.
And after all this time…
This ain’t getting’ better.

Now I can’t hack it - I need a straitjacket,
I love you and I can’t stop.
I need a pill now,
I'm truly truly ill now, any second I will drop.

I’m absolutely, positively, sick in love with you.
I’m absolutely, positively, sick in love with you.
I’m sick in love…
I’m absolutely, positively, sick in love with you.
Oh I’m sick in love baby, oh no…
Oh I can’t stop baby…

"Stones In My Passway"
(originally by Robert Johnson)

"Stones In My Passway"
(originally by Robert Johnson)



I got stones in my passway,
And my road seem dark as night
I got stones in my passway,
And my road seem dark as night
I have pains in my heart,
They have taken my appetite

I have a bird to whistle,
And I have a bird to sing
I have a bird to whistle,
And I have a bird to sing
I got a woman that I'm lovin', boy,
But she don't mean a thing

My enemies have betrayed me,
Have overtaken poor Bob at last
My enemies have betrayed me,
Have overtaken poor Bob at last
And there's one thing certainly,
They have stones all in my pass

Now you tryin' to take my life,
And all my lovin' too
You laid a passway for me,
Now what are you trying to do?
I'm cryin' please,
Please let us be friends

And when you hear me howlin' in my passway, rider,
Please open your door and let me in
I got three lane's to truck home,
Boys, please don't block my road
I got three lane's to truck home,
Boys, please don't block my road
I've been feelin' ashamed 'bout my rider, babe,
I'm booked and I got to go.
