Blues With A Feeling
Blues with a feeling that's what I have today
Blues with a
feeling that's what I have today
I've got to find my baby if it takes all
night and day
What a lonesome feeling when you're by yourself
What a
lonesome feeling when you're by yourself
Yes, the one that you're loving has
gone off with someone else
Well, you know I love you baby
Wonder the reason why
Gone and left me baby
Left me here to cry

Born In Chicago
I was born in Chicago in nineteen and forty-one
I was born
in Chicago in nineteen and forty-one
Well, my father told me, "Son, you had
better get a gun"
Well, my first friend went down when I was seventeen years old
Well, my first friend went down when I was seventeen years old
Well, there's
one thing I could say about that boy, "You gotta go"
Well, my second friend went down when I was twenty one years,
baby
Well, my second friend went down when I was twenty one years, baby
Well, there's one thing I could say about that boy, "You got it babe"
Well, my blues are alright if there's someone left to play the
game
Well, my blues are alright if there's someone left to play the game
All my friends are going and these years don't seem the same
Oh, they just
don't seem the same, baby
Buddy's Advice
When you bumped into me on a crowded avenue
I knew I
couldn't let you slide
I knew that sooner or later I bet that you'd just keep
on waiting on it
You'd run out of places to hide
Well, I've been waiting on you, yeah, for two long years
Counting on my buddy's advice
Baby, you bumped into somebody who was quicker
than me
So my buddy's keeping you on ice
Um, baby
Well, I saw you at the laundromat the other day, baby
Washing somebody's clothes
Oh, there must be some dirty business going on
'Cause I quit smelling like a rose
Well, I've been waiting on you, yeah, for two long years
Counting on my buddy's advice
Baby, you bumped into somebody who was quicker
than me
So my buddy's keeping you on ice
Um, baby, come on now, kick it!
Well, you might think that I've got a hole in my head
Counting on my buddy so long
I'm gonna get me a forty-four to set things
right
Just as long as I sing this song
Except You
Thought I had you in the palm of my hand
'Cause you said I
was your loving man
Thought I was the king of the world
'Cause you told me
you'd be my girl
But that was a long time ago
When in winter the grass was
green
Nothing seem the way it seem
Except you, except you
Thought I was ahead of my time
Love was all I had on my
mind
But that was a long time ago
When at night I saw the sun
Nothing
and, oh, nothing
Except you, except you, babe
You have dreams and schemes
But life was a burning cinder
All I needed was you, out of sight
And I can tell her, ooh
Look at all the things that I own
A house, a car, a paid up
loan
Flowers blooming in my yard
And I knew it wouldn't be so hard
But
that was a long time ago
When the rain was so fresh and clear
All I wanted was right
here
Except you, babe
Except you, except you, babe
Ooh, except you,
ooh, babe
Get Out Of My Life, Woman
Get out of my life woman, you don't love me no more
Get out
of my life woman, you don't love me no more
Get out of my life woman, you
don't want me no more
Get out of my eyes teardrops, I've got to see my way around
Get out of my eyes teardrops, I've got to see my way around
Get out of my
eyes teardrops, I got heartaches by the pound
Get out of my way woman, I've got to move all alone
Get out
of my way woman, I've got to move all alone
Get out of my way woman, I've got
to move all alone
Get out of my life woman, you don't love me no more
Get out
of my life woman, you don't love me no more
Get out of my life woman, you
don't want me no more
I Got A Mind To Give Up Living
I've got a mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I've got a mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
Pick me up a
tombstone, and be pronounced dead
Well, I read your letter this morning, that was on your place
in bed
Oh, when I read your letter this morning, that was on your place in
bed
That's when I decided that I'd be better off dead
Oh, yeah!
When I read your letter this morning, that was on your place
in bed
Yes, when I read your letter this morning, that was on your place in
bed
That's when I had decided that I'd be better off dead
It read, "There is no use looking or ever hoping, or ever
hoping to get me back"
"Oh, no use looking, baby or ever hoping to get me
back
Because it's all over now and, baby, you can bet on that"
Oh, yeah!

Early my
woman, mmm, with my arms to rest
Well there ain't, oh, nobody here
Baby, there ain't nobody

Yeah, and if I knew where to leave this town
Baby, I'd be on, on
