TELEPHONE SONG
Woke up this morning I was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I was missing you oh so bad
Wish I had you here to hold
All I've got is this touch-tone phone
So I guess I'll give you a call
Operator help me please
Get thru to my baby way overseas
Time's wastin' oh so fast
Hello baby tell me is that you
I don't know what we're gonna do
But for now I'm glad I got you on the line
Well it feels so fine
Knowing you're all right
But you're miles away
Lord it's not the same
Well I woke up this morning I was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I've been missing you baby oh so bad
I love you baby with all my might
Come on home and squeeze me tight
Long distance lovin's

THAT EVIL CHILD
Whenever I try to hold my baby,

No matter how I try to please that woman,
she won't even crack a smile
Lord, maybe you in heaven can help me,
'cause this is one evil child
Oh, I say maybe, maybe somebody can help me,
because this is one evil child
When I buy her flowers or candy she just looks at me and growls,
She say, "You must be guilty or have a guilty conscience buddy",
because I'm convicted without a trial
She just grunts when I call baby, hmm one evil child
I said, "Lord, maybe you can help me, because she's a strange and evil child"
Still, I'm tryin' to please my woman but she 'bout to drive me wild
I buy her hundred dollar dresses, people,
still she complains about the style
Won't somebody give me a suggestion?
Help me with this evil child Oh, maybe the

Yes, I think I'll move to the jungle people
Move way out in the woods

There! I've said it again.
I've said it, what more can I say,
Believe me, there's no other way,
I love you, I will to the end,
There! I've said it again.
I try to drum up,
A phrase that will sum up,
All that I feel for you.
But what good are phrases,
The thought that amazes,
Is that you love me,
And it's heavenly.
Forgive me for wanting you so,
But one thing I want you to know,
Baby I've loved you since heaven knows when,
There! I've said it again

In this whole world to call my friend
I've got so much trouble, people, sometimes I could cry
I've got so much trouble, so much trouble
Sometimes I could cry
Yes, sometimes I could just break down

Thank you so much, we thank you.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen.
Right here we're going all back to the begun.
All we go to the very beginnin',
Before we made this and very few people knew about, B.B. King.
We go all back this time.
You remind and go back one time, do you?
Sometimes you feel good go back and start all over again.
Oh boy!
You show so good to me, I will tell that
That you are
Now here it is, three o'clock in the morning,

Keep on lookin' be satisfied.
I've looked around me, people,
Hey, and my baby she knows she can't be found.
Looked all around me, people,
Oh, my baby, she can't be found.
Well, you know if I don't find my baby,
People, I'm going down to the Golden Ground.
That's where the fellows hang out down there,
They shoot pool, you know.
Goodbye, everybody,
Oh, I do believe this is the end,
Oh, oh, goodbye everybody,
Oh I do believe that this is the end.
Oh I want you to tell my baby,
Oh, to forgive me for my sins.
A guy feels lonely then, when you hear something like that
You can't do whatever you wanna do.
Because your mind is on the person you know.
You figure something you've done
You don't know what it is because she won't tell you
But every time you look at her, she just starts to crying and won't say nothing.
Then you say to yourself
It's my own fault, baby,
Treat me the way you wanna do,
Oh, yes, my own fault, baby,
Treat me the way you wanna do.
Because when you would love me, baby,
Oh, a good time looked down,
That wouldn't be true.
I go up on my feet and I had a lot of friends,
Now bad luck has hit me people,
And now I'm down again.
Oh, I wonder why?
Why does everything have to happen to me?
I'm blue and I'm lonesome, people,
My heart is filled with misery.
Once I had a lotta money,
They say the greatest man until
But bad luck has hit me now,
Pain has got me down.
Yes, I wonder why, people
Why does everything have to happen to me?
I say I'm blue and I'm lonesome, people,

TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS
I may get weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
But to one who's weary
Try a little tenderness
She may be waiting
Just anticipating
All of the things
She may never possess
But while she's waiting
Try a little tenderness
I may be sentimental
But I've had my griefs
And my cares
And just a good word
Soft and gentle
Makes it, makes it
So much easier to bear
She might forget it
Oh but don't let her forget it
Love's got a whole
A whole happiness
'Cause it's so easy
Try a little tenderness
Oh it's so very easy
It's so very easy
Try a little
Try a little
Try a little
Try a little
Try a little
Try a little, try a little
Won't you
'Cause it's so very easy
So very easy
Won't you try
Yes, I'll try
Try a little tender -
Tender -

WALKIN' AND CRYIN'
When I first met you, said you would be mine
Found out later you was tellin' me a lie
And now I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more
Now if there's one thing that I just can't stand
Can't stand to see you with another man
Because I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more
I did all for you, did all I could
All I did darlin', it didn't do me no good
And now I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more
Now I'm goin' on, goin' on my way
I know you don't love me now darlin'
But you will some old day
Because I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS
I may get weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
But to one who's weary
Try a little tenderness

But while she's waiting
Try a little tenderness
I may be sentimental
But I've had my griefs

WALKIN' AND CRYIN'
When I first met you, said you would be mine
Found out later you was tellin' me a lie
And now I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more
Now if there's one thing that I just can't stand
Can't stand to see you with another man
Because I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more
I did all for you, did all I could
All I did darlin', it didn't do me no good
And now I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more
Now I'm goin' on, goin' on my way
I know you don't love me now darlin'
But you will some old day
Because I'm walkin', walkin' and cryin'
You don't love me no more

WE CAN'T AGREE
You never treated me gentle
Yet you spend up all of my gold
Then you look around for a young man
Tell me I'm too old
That's why we can't agree
Yeah, baby, we can't agree
Now if I don't see you no more, baby
It'll be way too soon for me
You're known for being a lover
You like to holler loud
One man for you ain't nothing
You talk so loud you draw a crowd
That's why we can't agree
Yes, baby, we can't agree
Now if I don't see you no more, baby
It'll be way too soon for me
You're used to eating hot dogs
When you go out to dine
I taught you what a steak was
And now you've almost lost your mind
That's why we can't agree
Yes, baby, we can't agree
Now if I don't see you no more, baby
Honey, that'll be way too soon for me
You know it will
Now your clothes look like a sifter
Because they had so many holes
You know we both
Came from the ghetto, baby
And everybody knows
We can't agree
Yes, baby, we can't agree
Now if I don't see you
No more, little woman
Honey, it'll be way too soon for me
Yes, it will
Another one of them crazy endings.

WHY I SING THE BLUES
Everybody wants to know
Why I sing the blues
Yes, I say everybody wanna know
Why I sing the blues
Well, I've been around a long time
I really have paid my dues
When I first got the blues
They brought me over on a ship
Men were standing over me
And a lot more with a whip
And everybody wanna know
Why I sing the blues
Well, I've been around a long time
Mm, I've really paid my dues
I've laid in a ghetto flat
Cold and numb
I heard the rats tell the bedbugs
To give the roaches some
Everybody wanna know
Why I'm singing the blues
Yes, I've been around a long time
People, I've paid my dues
I stood in line
Down at the County Hall
I heard a man say, "We're gonna build
Some new apartments for y'all"
And everybody wanna know
Yes, they wanna know
Why I'm singing the blues
Yes, I've been around a long, long time
Yes, I've really, really paid my dues
Now I'm gonna play Lucille.
My kid's gonna grow up
Gonna grow up to be a fool
'Cause they ain't got no more room
No more room for him in school
And everybody wanna know
Everybody wanna know
Why I'm singing the blues
I say I've been around a long time
Yes, I've really paid some dues
Yeah, you know the company told me
Guess you're born to lose
Everybody around me, people
It seems like everybody got the blues
But I had 'em a long time
I've really, really paid my dues
You know I ain't ashamed of it, people
I just love to sing my blues
I walk through the cities, people
On my bare feet
I had a fill of catfish and chitterlings
Up in Downbill Street
You know I'm singing the blues
Yes, I really
I just have to sing my blues
I've been around a long time
People, I've really, really paid my dues
Now Father Time is catching up with me
Gone is my youth
I look in the mirror everyday
And let it tell me the truth
I'm singing the blues
Mm, I just have to sing the blues
I've been around a long time
Yes, yes, I've really paid some dues
Yeah, they told me everything
Would be better out in the country
Everything was fine
I caught me a bus uptown, baby
And every people, all the people
Got the same trouble as mine
I got the blues, huh huh
I say I've been around a long time
I've really paid some dues
One more time, fellows!
Blind man on the corner
Begging for a dime
The rollers come and caught him
And throw him in the jail for a crime
I got the blues
Mm, I'm singing my blues
I've been around a long time
Mm, I've really paid some dues
Can we do just one more?
Oh I thought I'd go down to the welfare
To get myself some grits and stuff
But a lady stand up and she said
"You haven't been around long enough"
That's why I got the blues
Mm, the blues
I say, I've been around a long time
I've really, really paid my dues
Fellows, tell them one more time.
Ha, ha, ha. That's all right, fellows
WOMAN'S GOT SOUL
She may not be the best lookin' woman
I ever did see
Nor have the charms of the ladies
Of high society
But the woman's got soul
Worth all money and gold
And all the love that I have belongs
To the woman with soul
Now I'm just a regular fellow
I don't need much
I don't need a Cadillac car
Or diamonds and such
But the woman that I hold
She's got to have soul
And then I'm richer than the richest gold
If the woman's got soul
I don't need a woman
That's got a whole lot of class
Because class in a woman
Don't mean she's gonna last
I need a kind of lady
That when I hold she fits up tight
And when she throws it on me
I give in without a fight
Then I know the woman's got soul
Worth all money and gold
And all the love that I have belongs
To the woman with soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
Worth all money and gold
And all the love that I have belongs
To the woman with soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul
YOU DON'T KNOW ME
You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
'Cause you don't know me
I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I've let my chance to go by
The chance that you might
Love me, too
You give your hand to me
And then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never never know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me
You give your hand to me, baby
Then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
No, no, you'll never ever know
The one who loves you so
