NEVER TRUST A WOMAN
Don't ever trust a woman
Until she's dead and buried
Yes don't ever trust a woman
Until she's dead and buried
One day she'll say that she loves you
And the next day she'll throw you in the street

She'll smother you with kisses
When her birthday comes around
But as soon as she gets her presents
She'll down talk you all over over town
No don't ever trust a woman
Until she's dead and buried
One day she'll say that she loves you
And the next day she'll throw you in the street

She'll beg you for clothes and diamonds
Until you're all in hock
And then you'll come home one mornin'
And your key won't fit the lock
Don't ever trust a woman
Until she's dead and buried
Well, one day she'll say that she loves you
The next day she'll throw you in the street

She'll call you every mornin'
Every mornin' noon and night
She'll call you in between times
Just to see if you're doin' alright
She'll ask to borrow five
And then she'll beg for ten
And baby that five and ten
You won't ever see again!

Man don't ever trust a woman
Until she's dead and buried
One day she'll say that she loves you
And the next day she'll throw you in the street

NIJI BABY
I walk in my bedroom floor
I hung my head and cry
I gotta find my baby
You know I can’t be satisfied
I gotta find my baby
I declare I wouldn’t lie
You know if I don’t find my baby
I believe I’m gonna lose my mind

Yeah she’s a fine lookin’ woman
Her shape is a dream
She’s the loveliest woman people
I declare I ever seen
I gotta find my baby
I declare I wouldn’t lie
You know if I don’t find my baby
I believe I’m gonna lose my mind

I walk in my bedroom floor
Hung down my head and cry
You know I'm crazy 'bout my woman
And I just can’t be satisfied
I gotta find my baby
I declare I wouldn’t lie
You know if I don’t find my baby
I believe I’m gonna lose my mind

You know I got to got to
I got to find my baby
hey yes I say
I gotta find my woman
I gotta find my woman
If I don’t find my woman
I think I’m going out of my mind

NO ONE EVER TELLS YOU
No one ever tells you
What it's like to love and lose
How it feels to waken
And have breakfast with the blues
How to go on living
How to face another day
No, no one ever tells you the way

No one ever tells you
How it feels to walk alone
Listening for those footsteps
Through the echo of your own
Suddenly it hits you
All those dreams weren't worth a dime
'Cause no one ever tells you in time

Long before
The icy winds of winter
Autumn tells the swallows
Time to fly
So why do we pretend
Till the bitter end
Till it breaks our hearts
To say good-bye
Well

No one ever tells you
That it's just another fling
No one ever warns you
When your heart begins to sing
Someone tells you later
All is fair in love and war
But no one ever tells you before

Long before
Our love boat's torn asunder
We can hear the thunder
Of the falls
So why do we go on
Sailing madly on
Till all we had is gone
Beyond recall
Beyond recall

No one ever tells you
That it's just another fling
No one ever warns you
When your heart begins to sing
Someone tells you later
All is fair in love and war
But no one ever tells you before

It never comes easy
'Cause no one
No one, no one
Ever tells you
Tells you
No one ever tells you before
No one ever tells you before

ON MY WORD OF HONOR
On my word of honor
All my love belongs to you
Please put your faith in me
You see how true I'll be

On my word of honor
You can trust me with your heart
And I pledge mine to you
It's yours my whole life through

Baby, lips never kiss you
Again if they're telling you a lie
And forever, ever, ever, ever and ever
I cross my heart and hope to die

On my word of honor
You mean everything to me
I swear by stars above
I'll keep my word, my love

Baby, lips never kiss you
Again if they're telling you a lie
And forever, ever, ever, ever and ever
I cross my heart and hope to die

On my word of honor
You mean everything to me
I swear by stars above
I'll keep my word, my love

PARTIN' TIME (YOU'RE LOSIN' ME)
Baby, if you can't do no better
I think I'd better get me a woman that can
Well, if you can't do no better, woman
I think I'd better get me a babe that can
Yes, you're goin' around cheatin' and lyin'
You ain't doin' nothin' but losin' a good man

Well, life is too short to be worryin', woman
Babe and you're old enough to understand
Yes, life is too short to be worryin', woman
And you're old enough to understand
Baby, if you can't do no better, baby
I think I'd better get me a woman that can

Oh, if I never said hello to you, woman
Than I wouldn't be sayin' goodbye
Oh, I've got my bags already packed, woman
I'm so hurt I wanna cry
Yes, what makes, what makes you treat me like you do, baby?
Yes I wanna know, tell me why.

PART TIME LOVE
Try it one more, please.

You know I got to find me
People, I got to find me
A part time love
Oh I need
I need me a part time love
Every time
Every time my baby leaves me
You know I need a part time love

The people in the cemetery
They're not all alone
Some turn to dust
And some have bone
You know I'd rather be dead
Six feet in my grave
Than to live lonely
Each and everyday

I need me
I need me a part time love
Every time my woman leaves me
You know I need a part time love

She came home this morning
I asked her where she'd been
She said, "Don't ask me
No questions, baby
'Cause I'll be leaving again"

I've got to find me
Don't you see, I've got to find me
A part time love
My baby leaves me
I need a part time love
Yes, I do

Oh every time my woman leaves me
Have to suffer
The whole time she's gone
I got to say it again
When she leaves me
I suffer every time she's gone
When she leaves me
I just got to have me a part time love
Is there somebody out there

Oh I need
Mm, I need me a part time love
Can't say it too much I need, oh, I need . . .

PATCHES
I was born and raised down in Alabama on a farm way back up in the woods. Oh
I was so ragged folks used to call me "Patches". Papa used to tease me about
it, but deep down inside dad was hurtin' 'cause he'd done the best he could.

My papa was a great old man
I can see him with a shovel in his hand
Education that he never had
But he did wonders when the times got bad
The little money from the crops we raised
Barely paid the bills we made

Oh life whipped him
Down to the ground
When he tried to get up
Life would kick him back down
On the day papa called me
To his dyin' bed
Placed his hand on my shoulders
And in tears he said

Patches
I'm depending on you, son
To pull the family through
My son, it's all left up to you

Two days later papa passed away
And I became a man that day
Everyday I had to work the fields
'Cause that's the only way
We got our meals
See, I was the oldest of the family
And everybody was depending on me

Now the years have passed
And everybody's grown
Mama's been livin'
In a brand new home
Lord knows it took
A lot of sweat and tears
And my daddy's voice
To help us through the years
He said -

Patches
I'm depending on you, son
To pull the family through
My son, it's all left up to you

Daddy had been sick for a long time, flat on his back. Every evenin' after
we'd finish our chores and eat our dinner, we'd all go into papa's room to
cheer him up a little. And this particular day dad was in good spirits,
sittin' on the side of the bed, tellin' mama how good she looked. When all
of a sudden, papa had a pain in his chest. I was too young to understand,
talkin' about a heart attack here. Mama rushed us all out of the room into
the hallway. About ten minutes later she came out with tears in her eyes.
She called out to me, "Patches, Patches, get in here, boy. Your daddy wanna
see you." I went runnin' into papa's room, there papa lay. Daddy had tears
in his eyes. I knew something was wrong, daddy was a poor man, but all of my
life he'd been a proud man. I knelt down on one knee beside the bed, papa
put his hand on my shoulder. He said, "Patches, Patches, boy, the hammer of
life done beat your old papa down to the ground, and I ain't got nobody to
turn to to take care of mama and the younger. So what I want you to do is
promise me, son, is that you're gonna do your best to help your mama as much
as you can." I said, "Papa, I'm gonna do my best." But little did I know
then like I know now, that tryin' to climb life's mountains searchin' for a
top where there ain't no top, sometimes you find yourself frustrated, lazy.
But every time I feel like I can't live my life like I want to, my mind goes
back to that day when I see those tears in my daddy's eyes. But most of all
I remember his words, "Patches, I'm dependin' on you, boy." Every time I
feel like givin' up, I hear his voice. "Patches, Patches, Patches, Patches -"

I'm depending on you, son
I've tried to do my best
It's up to you to do the rest

Patches
I'm depending on you, son
I've tried to do my best
It's up to you to do the rest
Patches
I'm depending on you, son
To pull the family through
My son, it's all left up to you

PLAYIN' WITH MY FRIENDS
I'm gonna call up some of my buddies,
and a few of the ladies I know
I'm gonna rent a hall and get them all and,
put on a heck of a show
Make sure we got a kitchen,
with a oven and a stove
We'll all get in there cookin',
then we'll throw open all the doors
Playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time,
playin' with my friends
I'm gonna buy a 100 pounds of catfish,
cook it all up on the grill
Fix some beans and corn bread,
everybody's gonna get their fill
Then we'll grab all the guitars,
greasy hands and all
Someone'll count off a shuffle,
and man we'll have a ball
Playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time,
playin' with my friends
Yes, we gonna buy some of that red, red wine,
the best that money can buy
You gotta drink it all from a paper cup,
that this here Saturday life is right
Everybody's gonna stand up,
play their favorite tune
You can pick any tune you want to,
as long as it's the blues
Playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time,
playin' with my friends

PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE TO LOVE
When the evening, the evening sun goes down
You gonna find me somewhere hanging around
The night life, people, it ain't no good life
But it's my life, yeah
All the people just like you and me
Everybody's dreaming
Dreaming about their old used to be
The night life, hey, it ain't no good life, people
Oh but it's my life
Yes listen to the blues, people
Listen to what they're saying
Yes listen to the blues, people
Listen to the way they're playing
Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love
Show the world, show them how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
Nights I lay awake and ponder world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Unless man put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame
Just because I'm, because I'm in misery
Oh I don't beg, I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, yeah
Oh the night life, people it ain't no good life
But it's my life, yeah
So please, please, please, please, please, please
Please send me someone to love
Someone to love

POWER OF THE BLUES
Get it while it's hot.

I've been all over Europe
And across the sea
With each new place
It gets clearer to me
Week after week
On tour with my band
You don't have to speak
'Cause they all understand

The power of the blues
Hey, hey, the power of the blues
And that's good news
I'm talking about the power of the blues

Yes, it's just a few changes
That I won't deny
But if you think it's easy
You just give it a try
You know the truth
But you're afraid to say it
That it ain't what I play
It's the way that I play it

That's the power of the blues
Yes, the power of the blues
You'll change your views
When you hear the power of the blues

Now me and Lucille
We're gonna stop this war
I'm no politician
But I know the score
You can call me a hawk
Or maybe I'm a dove
But all we gotta do
Is shoot 'em full of love

With the power of the blues
Hey, the power of the blues
It's the thing to use
Talking about the power of the blues
Yes, I am

PRAY FOR YOU
Know I love you for myself
Yes, and you're gone to somebody else
And I'm worried yes, I'm worried all alone

I go to bed prayin' each night
I'm hopin' darlin', you'll treat me right
And I'm worried yes, as a man can be

All I can do is pray
Hope that maybe I'll find you someday
But until then, darlin' I'll pray all day long

I'll do everything I can
Tryin' to get you to understand
I don't want to see you round, darlin' with other men

Ah, you know I love you, love you for myself
Gone and left me for somebody else
All I can do is pray for you

QUESTIONAIRE BLUES
I've got my questionaire
Aand they need me in the war
I've got my questionaire
Aand they need me in the war
Yes, if I have to commit murder
Won't have to (???)

I want the thirty two-twenty
Made on a forty-five frame
I want the thirty two-twenty
Made on a forty-five frame
And a red, white and blue fag
Wear it in my right hand

Yeah, you can tell my baby
Tell her to please wait for me
Yeah, you can tell my baby
Tell her to please wait for me
Well I meet her one mornin'
Down by that old Red Sea

RECESSION BLUES
