MESSIN' WITH THE KID
What's this I hearthat's going all around town?
The people are sayin' you gonna put the kid down,
Lordy, what're you doing?
You can call it what you want,
I call it messin' with the kid.
You told me you loved me,
You told me a lie.
I love you woman till the day I die.
Lordy, what're you doing?
You can call it what you want,
I call it messin' with the kid.

You took the kid's car and drove all around town,
Tellin' everybody you're gonna put the kid down.
Lordy, what're you doing?
Call it what you want,
I call it messin' with the kid.

Messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.
You can call it what you want,
I call it messin' with the kid.

You told me you loved me,
You told me a lie.
I love you woman till the day I die.

Take my car and drive all around town,
Tellin' everybody you gonna put me down.
Lordy, what're you doing?
Call it what you want,
I call it messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.

Messin' with the kid.

LAUNDROMAT

(Ver letra en "Rory Gallagher (1971)")

I COULD’VE HAD RELIGION
I could've had religion, I could religion
But my little girl wouldn't let me pray
I swear to the world she drove my spirit away
She drove my spirit away, she drove my spirit away

I could've had religion, I could've had religion
But my little girl wouldn''t let me pray
I tell the truth, she drove my spirit away
She drove my spirit away

I could've been, I could've been a preacher,
But I changed my mind the other nigh
The woman I have now, she would not treat me right
She would not treat me right

I've been a bad man, as bad can be
Gonna pray to the Lord above to send his blessing on me
I want some mercy, you got set my soul free
Set my soul free, Please..

I could've had, I could've had religion
But my little girl wouldn't let me pray.
Well, demon woman, you sent the devil my way,
You sent the devil my way.

Oh Lord above please send my fire,
Send your mercy right down to me.
That woman set the devil on me,
She set the devil on me,
She set the devil one me,
She set the devil on me.
Could've had religion

PISTOL SLAPPER BLUES
Know my dog anywhere I hear him bark
Well I know my rider if I see her in the dark

Well I'd know my dog anywhere I hear him bark
Well, I'd know my rider if I see her in the dark

Ain't it cold for you, mother when you say you don't love me?
Well that's alright woman, you gonna need my help someday

You didn't say you didn't love me, when you were stretched out across my bed
You're drinkin' moonshine whisky and talking all outta your head

Ain't but two kinda people in this world that I can't stand
That's a lying woman and a cheatin', knockin' man

Well, I feel like slapping my pistol in your face
I'm gonna let the graveyard be your resting place

Well I'd know my dog anywhere I hear him bark

Well, I'd know my rider if I see her in the dark

GOING TO MY HOME TOWN
Mama's in the kitchen baking up a pie.
Daddy's in the backyard,"Get a job, son,
You know you ought to try".
I packed up my bag, I headed down the road,
I got me a job from Henry Ford.
But I made a mistake, I moved much too far
And now I know what the lonesome blues are . . .
I`m getting lonesome, I'm getting blue,
I need someone to talk to.
I`m getting lonesome, I'm getting blue,
Let me tell you where I'm going to . . .

Yes I'm going to my home town,
I don't care ever even if I have to walk.
Yes I'm going to my home town,
I don't care even if I have to walk.
I gotta move on now baby, I got no more time left to talk.

Yes I'm going to my home town,
Sorry but I can't take you.
Yes I'm going to my home town,
Sorry but I can't take you.
Only got one ticket, you know I just can't afford two.
Take me home.

The day I left,
You know the rain was pouring down.
The day I left,
You know the rain was pouring down.
I'm going home again baby,
I believe the sun's gonna come on out.
Let's go home, boy, let's go home.

Yes I'm going to my home town,
You know baby I gotta go.
Going to my home town,
You know I just have to go.
I really love you, woman,
I'll see you in a year, maybe no, maybe yes.

Going to my home town,
I'm going to my home town,
Going to my home town,

Going to my home town.

IN YOUR TOWN

Crying last thing at night.

Moaning last thing at night.

Head on down to New Orleans,
Prettiest place you ever seen,
Get on down to the river bend,
That's where the music never ends.

Open your ears,
Don't you feel good?
Get yourself one helluva shot of rhythm 'n' blues.
