RIDING WITH THE KING

I dreamt I had a good job
And I got well paid
I blew it all at the penny arcade

A hundred dollars
On the Cupid doll
No pretty chic is gonna make me crawl

We're on a TWA to the promised land
Every woman, child and man
Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring
Don't you know you're ridin' with King

He's on a mission of mercy on a new frontier
He's gonna check us all out of here
Up to the mansion on the hill
Where you can get your prescription filled
Any kind of pills, folks

We're on a TWA to the promised land
Everybody clap your hands
Don't you girls love the way that it seems
Don't you know you're ridin' with King
Ridin' with the King
Don't you know you're ridin' with King

Tuxedo and a shiny three thirty five
(that's me)
You can see it in his face
The blues is his life
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
Don't you know you're ridin' with King

I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old
With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die

Don't you know we're ridin' with King
Don't you know we're ridin' with King
You're ridin' with me Eric, you're in good hands
You're ridin' with the blues
Don't you know you're ridin' with King
Yes yes you're ridin' with the King
I wanted to say B.B. King but you know King
Don't you know you're ridin' with King

Yes you're ridin' with King

TEN LONG YEARS

(Ver letra en "Singin' the Blues (1956)")

KEY TO THE HIGHWAY
I've got the key to the highway
Feel I got to go
Gonna leave here running
Walking is both too slow

I'm going back to the border
Baby where I'm better known
Because you haven't done nothing baby
But draw the good man from home

When the moon peeks over the mountain
Little girl I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roll the highway until the break of day

Oh give me one more kiss darling
Just before I go
Cause when I leave this time little girl
I won't be back no more

I've got the key to the highway
Little darling I got to go
I'm gonna leave here running

Walking is both too slow

MARRY YOU
It's the sugar so sweet
The kind I like to eat
You and me
Tell no one else about it

I'm gonna make you mine
Cause I know we've got the time
Now and then baby
Hey I want you to know

I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too

Come on in the back of my '57
Let me show you the way
Way to heaven
You're looking so sweet, yes you are
I'll make sure that you got some heat

I've got you on my mind
You know you've got my time
Now and then baby
I want you to know

I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too

I'm falling in love with you
I'm in love with you
You make all my dreams come true
Make all my dreams come true
Falling in love with you
I wanna marry you

I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you

Isn't that what you want too

THREE O'CLOCK BLUES

(Ver letra en "Singin' the Blues (1956)")

Help The Poor
Help the poor
Won't you help poor me
I need help from you baby
Need it desperately
I need you so much
I need your care
Need all the loving baby you can spare
Help the poor
Oh, baby won't you help poor me

Say you will
Say you'll help me on
I can't make it no longer
In this world alone
Baby I'm beggin' with tears in my eyes
For your love don't you realize
I need help
Oh baby help poor me

You are my inspiration
Baby that's makes be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything

HELP THE POOR
Won't you help poor me
Have a heart won't you baby
Listen to my plead
Oh I lost my courage till I found you
You got what it takes baby
To pull me through
Help the poor
Oh baby won't you help poor me

You are my inspiration
Baby that's makes be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything

Help the poor
Won't you help poor me
Have a heart won't you baby
Listen to my plead
Oh I lost my courage till I found you
You got what it takes baby
To pull me through
Help the poor

Oh baby won't you help poor me

I WANNA BE
I wonder helplessly day by day
It's so much easier to run away
My mind is telling my body so
Never know which way to go

I'm always there for you baby
You let me see
If we can get closer everyday

I wanna be
Held by you
I wanna be
Touched by you
I wanna be
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be
Anything you want me to

Don't mean nothing when you're growing old
Nobody knows what the future holds
I am left with a bitter taste
Turn away from that beautiful chase

I'm always there for you baby
You let me see
If we can get closer everyday

I wanna be
Held by you
I wanna be
Touched by you
I wanna be
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be

Anything you want me to

WORRIED LIFE BLUES
Oh lordie lord
Oh lordie lord
It hurts me so bad for us to part
But someday baby
I ain't gonna worry my life anymore

So many nights since you've been gone
I've had to worry and grieve my life alone
But someday baby
I ain't gonna worry my life anymore

So many days since you went away
I've had to worry night and day
But someday baby
I ain't gonna worry my life anymore

Yoo're on my mind every place I go
How much I love you nobody knows
But someday baby
I ain't gonna worry my life anymore

So that's my story
This is all I got to say to you
Goodbye baby I don't care what you do
But someday baby
I ain't gonna worry my life anymore

Oh lordie lord
Oh lordie lord
It hurts me so bad for us to part
But someday baby
I ain't gonna worry my life anymore

DAYS OF OLD

(Ver letra en "Boss of the Blues (1965)")

WHEN MY HEART BEATS LIKE A HAMMER

(Ver letra en "The Blues (1958)")

HOLD ON! I'M COMING
Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt
In a river of trouble about to drown

Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming

I'm on my way your lover
When you get cold
I'll be your cover
Don't have to worry
Because I'm here
Don't need to suffer
Because I'm here

Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming

Reach out to me
For satisfaction
Call my name
Quick reaction
Hey hey hey

Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt
In a river of trouble about to drown

Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming

COME RAIN OR COME SHINE
I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

Well I guess when you met me
That it were just one of those things
Don't you ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

Oh you're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together
Won't that be fine

Day may be cloudy or sunny
We're either in or we're out of our money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together
Won't that be fine

Day may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of our money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
Rain or shine
I'm with you always

I'm with you rain or shine
