My Baby

And when i work hard all day long
I tell you what, it don't bother me nohow,
'cause how could anything ever go wrong
When i got my baby, lord, yes,
When i got my baby, oh lord!
And when they tell me love is pain
I said it might be true for you, honey,
But not for janis no more, no no no no.
All i've ever got to do is call my daddy's name
Yeah and i got m-my baby, lord, yeah,
Yes i got my baby, good good god,
Honey, i wanna tell you something that i do.
Deep down, h-honey, in the dark of the night,
When i lay my head down, i wanna go to sleep,
And i know everything is gonna be alright,
Yeah i got my baby, lord yeah,
'cause i got m-my baby, oh yeah.
And when i wanna call the names
Or the things to be that wanna be to you.
And when i wanna reach out my hand

Stealin'

Well, put your arms around me like the circles in the sun
I want you to love me daddy like my easy rider done.
If you don't believe that I love you, look what a fool I've been,
If you don't think I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in.
I'm stealin', stealin', pretty mama don't you tell on me,
I'm stealin' back my same old used-to-be.
Well, I got a little woman, 'bout my height and size,
Now she's a married woman, sees me once in a while.
If you don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
If you don't think I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in.
Stealin', stealin', pretty mama don't you tell on me,
I'm stealin' back my same old used-to-be.
With good whiskey you stay drunk all the time,
Stay drunk baby 'cause it eases my mind.
If you don't believe that I love you, look what a fool I've been,
If you don't think I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in.
I'm stealin', stealin', pretty mama don't you tell on me
I'm stealin' right back my same old used-to-be.

Hesitation Blues

Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
I need a new man, lord I know I wont mind.
Tell me how long, dear, do I have to wait ?
Can I get you now, dear, must I hesitate ?
Well now, the eagle on the dollar says in God we trust
You say you wont obey me, you wanna see that dollar first
How long, dear, do I have to wait ?
Can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?
Lord, if the river was made of whiskey an I was a duck,
Id just swim to the bottom an Id never come up.
How long, dear, mm, do I have to wait ?
Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?
Now theres rocks down in the ocean and theres fish in the sea,
I know you mean the whole world to me.
How long, dear, must I have to wait ?
Can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?
I got them hesitation stockings, I got them hesitation shoes,
Lord knows I got them hesitation blues.
Tell me, how long do I have to wait ?
Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?

Dont the moon look lonesome

San Francisco Bay Blues

Got the blues from my baby
Left me by the san francisco bay.
This big ocean liner took her so far away.
Didnt mean to treat her so bad
She was the best girl I ever have had.
She said good-bye, and she made me cry
Im gonna lay right down and die.
Well, I aint got a nickel and I aint got a lousy dime.
If she dont come back I think Im gonna lose my mind.
If she ever comes back to stay,
Well, thatll be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay.
Sittin in my back door
Wondering which way to go
That woman Im so crazy about
She dont love me no more.
Lord, I think Ill grab a freight train
Because Im feeling blue,
Ride all the way to the end of the line
Thinking only about you.

Black Mountain Blues

Out in black mountain a child will smack your face.
Im saying out on black mountain a child will smack your face.
The babies cryin for liquor, and all the birds sing bass.
Well, those people in black mountain are mean as they can be.
And those people in black mountain are mean as they can be.
Now they uses gun powder just to sweeten up their tea.
Well, out in black mountain you cant keep a good man in jail.
Yeah, out in black mountain you cant keep a good man in jail
cause if the jury convicts him, the judge will pay his bail.
I had a man in black mountain, the sweetest man in town.
I had a man in black mountain, the sweetest man in the town.
But then he met a city gal, thats when he throwed me down.
Lord, Im bound for black mountain, me and my razor and my gun,
Im going back to black mountain, me and my razor and my gun.
Im gonna fire him if he stands still, Ill just cut him if he runs.
Lord, now youve heard my story, now youve heard my news.
Lord, now youve heard my story, now youve heard my news.
Now my man can clear off, Ive got the blackest mountain blues.

Its A Deal

Wooh!!
Shes my baby, Ill tell you
Just exactly what I used to do
I will leave just to leave you alone
Baby, baby, when I go home.
Well love you baby I dont think I will
Say the words but the bells go still
Its true, baby, that I want you to stay
But if that remains you got to pay your will,
Pay your will, yeah yeah yeah.
Well, I made you cry, hang your head,
Life here was just smart and vain
With your guys, baby, and youve gotta see
When youre alone you want to make a deal.
Well now love you baby I dont think I will
Say the words but the bells go still
Its true, baby, that I want you to stay
But if that remains you got to pay your will,
Pay your will, yeah! wooh wooh!!
I wouldnt hurt but you can feel

Dear Landlord

Dear landlord
Please dont put a price on my soul.
My burden is heavy, dear,
And my dreams are beyond my control,
Oh yes, they are.
But when that steam-boat whistle blows,
Oh, honey Im gonna give you everything I ever had to give, yeah,
And I do hope that you can receive it well,
I know that it must be dependin on the way you feel that you live.
Whoa, landlord,
Please heed these words that I try to speak.
I know you must have suffered much,
But honey you aint alone, you aint so unique.
No no no, no, no.
All of us at times, I said, we might have worked too hard
Or too heavy, too fast and way too rushed, yeah!
But everyone can fill their life with anything
You can look around, but baby you just cannot touch.
Whoa, my dear landlord,
Please dont you dismiss my case.

Bo diddley called a nanny goat
To make his pretty baby a sunday coat
Bo diddley called a bear cat
To make his pretty baby a sunday hat
