He Blues
He come home late at night
drunk as a skunk, fixin’ to fight
he my man & he done me wrong
he my man & he done me wrong
I hear him knockin’ on my bedroom door
what I got now I ain’t had before?
he my man & he done me wrong
he my man & he done me wrong
Then he won’t eat my bread
fussin’ & a cussin’ clear to split my head
he my man & he done me wrong
he my man & he done me wrong
get gone
go on
Don’t want to see your sorry face no more
he my man & he done me wrong
he my man & he done gone

Take My Blues Away
I went to the Doctor, to take my blues away
I went to the Doctor, just to see what he would say
He told me, “Honey give me money” (“Honey give me money”)
and then he sent me on my way
I went to the Chemist, to take my blues away
I went to the Chemist, just to see what he would say
He gave me, pills that gave me chills (pills that gave me chills)
and then he sent me on my way
I went to the Gypsy, to take my blues away
I went to the Gypsy, just to see what she would say
She told me, “Cross my palm with money”
and then she sent me on my way
I went to the Preacher, to take my blues away
I went to the Preacher, just to see what he would say
He told me, “God is love and Love is God”
and then he sent me on my way
I went down to the Corner, to take my blues away
I went down to the Corner, just to see what they would say
They told me, “Money, give me money, give me money”
and then they sent me on my way
I went to the Mountain, to take my blues away
I went to the Mountain, just to see what it would say
It told me, Ommmmmmmmm and then it took my blues away

Cold Heart

I tried so hard my dear to show
that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
is just some evil scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past
keeps us so far a-part
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your Cold, Cold Heart.
Another love before my time
made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
for things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words are said
that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind,
and melt your Cold, Cold Heart.
You'll never know how much it hurts
to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love
yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life,
to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your Cold, Cold Heart.
There was a time when I believed
that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled
to a memory
The more I learn to care for you,
the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your Cold, Cold Heart.

Gavin’s Lament
Three steps forward
Two steps back
step on a crack and break your Mamas’ back oh woe
Three steps forward, two back
One for luck and
Two for sorrow
three is good news on the morrow oh
never beg, never borrow
White is pure and
The Devil wears red, it doesn’t matter what you do
You’re gonna end up dead oh woe
White is pure and the Devil wears red
One in the hand is worth
two in the bush
It’ll fit Baby, shove and push oh woe
One in the hand is worth, two in the bush
Three steps forward
Two steps back
step on a crack and break your Mamas’ back oh woe
Looking forward, never back

Wasting All My Time
Seems to me I’m wastin’ all my time
Seems to me that I ain’t got no life
I ain’t got no money
And I ain’t got no honey Sonny
Seems to me I’m wastin’ all my time
Seems to me that I ain’t got no life
Seems to me I’m workin’ all the time
I ain’t got no money
And I ain’t got no honey Sonny
Seems to me that I ain’t got no life
Seems to me I’m workin’ all the time
Seems to me that I don’t never stop
I ain’t got no money
And I ain’t got no honey Sonny
Seems to me I’m workin’ all the time
Seems to me that this just has to stop!
Seems to me that I have got it wrong!
I don’t want no money
I just want your honey Sonny
Seems to me that this just has to stop!
