Traveling Riverside Blues

(Robert Johnson)
If your man gets personal, want to have your fun
If your man gets personal, want to have your fun
Just come on back to Friar's Point, mama, and barrelhouse all night long
I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee
I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee
But my Friar's Point rider, now, hops all over me
I ain't gon' to state no color, but her front teeth is crowned with gold
I ain't gon' to state no color, but her front teeth is crowned with gold
She got a mortgage on my body, now, lien on my soul
Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side
Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side
We can still barrelhouse, baby, 'cause it's on the river side
Now you can squeeze my lemon till the juice run down my...
[Spoken:] till the juice run down my leg, baby, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
You can squeeze my lemon till the juice run down my leg
(that's what I'm talkin' about now)
But I'm goin' back to Friar's Point, if I be rockin' to my head

Miss You

By eric clapton, greg phillinganes and bobby columby
Dont change your mind,
I aint got the time to sit and wonder.
Im doing fine.
If you decide to leave, I wont go under.
You know Ive come this far without you;
It wont be too hard to be alone.
Ive got choices all around me,
So I wont be spending too much time at home.
Girl, Im gonna miss you.
Im gonna miss you, baby.
I cant forgive you,
Instead Im gonna miss you, baby.
No, dont say a word.
I already heard that you dont love me.
In your state of mind,
I dont need to hear your side of the story.
Your friends all said we had a future
And I dont think I really want to know.
My friends keep telling me to lose you

Find Myself

By eric clapton
We took the long way home, you held my hand,
The days so full of all the things we had planned.
We walked beyond the green, beyond the day.
We shared a dream that I let slip away.
I had to find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
cause Ill be lonely till I find myself.
You were the man who knew too much to say.
So many things that I learned came your way.
These things I know that I cant forget,
Deep in my heart, theyre a part of me yet.
They helped me find myself.
They helped me find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
cause Ill be lonely till I find myself.
Too many years rolled by without a word.
I tried to hide behind things that Id heard.
And now the truth is clear for all to see

Motherless Child

(traditional)
If I mistreat you girl, I sure dont mean no harm.
If I mistreat you girl, I sure dont mean no harm.
Well, Im a motherless child; I dont know right from wrong.
Please tell me pretty mama, honey whered you stay last night?
Please tell me pretty mama, honey whered you stay last night?
Well, you didnt come home till the sun was shining bright.
I had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled.
Had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled.
Well, hes had a lotta women, gonna let my ham bones burn.
Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done.
Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done.
Well, I give you my jewelry, he aint give you none.
And when you see two women, always running hand in hand.
When you see two women, always running hand in hand.
You can bet your bottom dollar, one got the other ones man.
Lord, Im going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair.
Im going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair.
And if the blues overtake me, gonna rock away from here.

Anyday

By eric clapton and bobby whitlock
You were talking and I thought I heard you say
Please leave me alone.
Nothing in this world can make me stay.
Id rather go back, Id rather go back home.
But if you believed in me like I believe in you,
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly.
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.
Well someday baby, I know youre gonna need me
When this old world has got you down.
Ill be right here, so woman call me
And Ill never ever let you down.
Chorus
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.
To break the glass and twist the knife into yourself;
Youve got to be a fool to understand.
To bring your woman back home after shes left you for another,
Youve got to be a, youve got to be a man.

Floating Bridge

(by sleepy john estes)
Well I never will forget that floating bridge.
Lord I never will forget that floating bridge.
Lord I never will forget that floating bridge.
They tell me five minutes time underwater I was hid.
I was going down and I throwed up my hands.
As I was going down I throwed up my hands.
As I was going down I throwed up my hands,
Saying, please lord, take me on dry land.
Well they carried me in the house and they laid me cross the bed.
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me cross the bed.
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me cross the bed.
I couldnt hear nothing but muddy water running round my head.
Oh my mother often told me, quit playing a bum.
My mother always told me, quit playing a bum.
Lord, my mother always told me, son, quit playing a bum.
Go out somewhere and make a crumb.
All the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
Well all the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
All the people on the bridge stood screaming and crying,

Crazy Country Hop

By j. otis
Way down in a country town one day
A little ole country band began to play.
They had two guitars and a beat-up saxophone;
When the leader said go them cats began to blow.
Ooh wee oh oh, ooh la la
Lets rock and roll.
Now all the poeple gathered round
Just to dig that rockin rollin sound.
Suddenly the drummer rang a bell
And all them country cats began to yell.
Ooh wee oh oh, ooh la la
Lets rock and roll.
Ole macdonald did a crazy bop
Said its time to milk my cow, I got to stop,
But just before I cool it and cut out
Heres something all you cats can think about.
Ooh wee oh oh, ooh la la
Lets rock and roll.
Snaggle-toothed malinda was a drag,

Hell Hound On My Trail

I got to keep movin'
I got to keep movin'
blues fallin' down like hail
blues fallin' down like hail
Umm mmm mmm mmm
blues fallin' down like hail
blues fallin' down like hail
And the days keeps on worryin' me
there's a hellhound on my trail
hell hound on my trail
hell hound on my trail
If today was Christmas Eve
If today was Christmas Eve
and tomorrow was Christmas Day
If today was Christmas Eve
and tomorrow was Christmas Day
spoken: Aow, wouldn't we have a time, baby?
All I would need my little sweet rider just
to pass the time away, huh huh
to pass the time away

River Of Tears

Its three miles to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
Its four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since youve been gone
I feel like Im drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like Im drowning,
Drowning in a river.
In three more days, Ill leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.

Blue Eye Blue

I thought that you'd be loving me.
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever.
But now forever's come and gone
And I'm still here alone.
'Cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.
It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you who made the tears fall down.
It was you who broke my heart in pieces.
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.
I thought that I'd be all you need.
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven.
And now my heaven's gone away
And I'm out in the cold.
'Cause you had me believing,
You had me believing in a lie.
Guess I couldn't see it,
