How Long Blues
How long, baby how long,
Has that evening train been gone?
How long, how how long, baby how long?
Went to the station, didn't see
no train.
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.
How long, how how long,
baby how long?
I feel disgusted, I feel so bad
Thinking 'bout the good
time that
I once have had.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
I
could see the green grass growing on the hill;
I ain't seen no greenback on
a dollar bill.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
You're gonna be
sorry, you'll feel so blue.
When you want me, baby,
I declare I won't
want you.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
Don't have no money for
to ride the train.
I would ride the rods, baby, to be with you again.
How
long, how how long, baby how long?
How long, baby how long
Must I keep
my, my watch in pawn?
How long, how how long, baby how long?
Take It Easy Baby
Seasons Passing By,
Summers Gone And I Can't Recall That I
Saw
A Shining Sun In The Sky.
Then The Winter Comes,
I Am Occupied
Buying Things For My Child,
When I'm Done It Is Gone.
Please Come Back!
Take It Easy, Everyone Should Take It Easy.
You Got To Slow Down, Everyone
Should Calm Down.
Take It Easy, Everyone Should Take It Easy.
You Got To
Slow Down Before It Is Too Late.
To Stresses And Strains Of Modern Life Say
No.
Years Are Passing By,
I Can't Hear Anymore, Wrinkles Are
Blooming Now
And My Hair's Getting White.
Then I Fade Away,
Getting Old
And Sick, All I Remember Now
Is The Smell Of The Strain.
Move Your Body, Hurry Up Now;
I've Got No Time To Waste.
I'm So Busy, Get A Move On,
Must Be In Time For Tea.
I Must Be There!
Anna Lee
Anna Lee, she's a pain to me
Well now, everything she does
she's gotta have her own way
She won't do it unless it's her own way
But
she can move mountains with the wink of an eye
Bring a man to tears, and she
don't even try Anna Lee.
She's the same to me Well you can't tell her
nothing she don't already know
She can change her will, ...
She don't want to hear when you speak your mind
She don't
hold nothing that she didn't find Anna Lee.
She's the same to me Well she
woke up one morning, found herself all alone
No-one will answer on the
telephone
Sleeping all alone in a bed full of rain
No-one will answer or
feel her pain Anna Lee.
She's the same to me
Anna Lee. She's the same to
me
Got My Mojo Working
Got my mojo working, just don't work on you
Got my mojo
working, just don't work on you
I wanna love you so bad, don't know what to
do
I'm going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm going down to
Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm gonna have all you women right here at my
command
I got a gypsy woman, given me advice
I got a gypsy woman, given
me advice
I've gotta whole lots of tricks, keep here on ice
Got my
mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo
working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working, just don't work on you
Blues After Hours
Got the blues after hours
and it lasts me until day
Got
the blues after hours
and it lasts me until day
I've been looking for my
little baby
and I swear she's gone away.
Blues after hours
I swear they all fell on me.
Got the
blues after hours
And I swear they all fell on me.
I'm just a poor boy
wondering,
where can my baby be?
Gee baby, ain't I been good to you?
Gee gee baby, ain't I
always been good to you?
Now I always will love you baby,
I swear, no
matter what you do.
Now I cried "Oh Lord, Please send my baby back to me.
Oh
Lord, Please send my darling back to me.
Now if she don't come back
I'm
afraid you will have to bury me."
Five Long Years
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm
talking about.
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm
talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman,
She had the nerve
to put me out.
I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every Friday
I come straight back home with all my pay.
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about.
I
worked five long years for one woman,
She had the nerve to put me out.
I finally learned my lesson,
Should a long time ago.
The
next woman that I marry,
She gonna work and bring me the dough.
Have you
ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five
long years for one woman,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had
the nerve,
She had the nerve to put me out.
Come Back Baby
Oh come back baby, oh mama please don't go.
Child, the way
I love you, well you'll never know, oh.
Come back baby, yeah yeah,
Let's
talk it over one more time.
Well I admit, baby, that I was wrong.
Don't
you know baby, child you've been gone too long.
Come back baby, yeah yeah,
Let's talk it over one more
time.
I said if I could holler like a mountain jack,
I'd go up on the
mountain, people, I'd call my baby back, oh.
Come back baby, yeah yeah,
Let's talk it over one more
time.
Now one of these days, baby, and it won't be long, yeah.
You're
going to look for me child, you know, and I'll be gone.
So come back baby,
yeah yeah,
Let's talk it over one more time.
