(Instrumental)

WOMAN TROUBLE
Woman trouble always in my life
Got a babe, but she'll never be my wife
'Cause I know, yes, I know
When she got you, man, you're never letting go

You see her in the street with the sparkling eyes
Don't forget that she knows how to cry
'Cause you know, yes, I know
When she got you, man, you're never letting go

She says, baby, that we'll never fight
I know I'm gonna treat you right
You won't be lonely, this I know
There's a time when women have got to go

Woman trouble always on my mind
My kind of woman I'll never find
'Cause I know, yes, I know
When she got you, man, you'll never let go

Woman trouble always in my life
Got a babe, but she'll never be my wife
'Cause I know, yes, I know

When they got you, man, they're never letting go

(Scat Instrumental)

HEAR ME CALLING
Hear me calling, hear me call on you;
Hear me calling, hear me call on you.
If you don't come soon
I'll know your love ain't true.

Hear me calling, hear me calling loud;
Hear me calling, hear me calling loud.
If you don't come soon

I'll be wearin' a shroud.

A SAD SONG
The love that you gave me has gone with the rain
The joy that just filled me has turned into pain.

My face in the mirror reminds me of you
It's the one that you lied to when you said you'd be true.

The tears in my eyes are all that you'll find
The scars on my face just deepen my mind.

The love that you gave me has gone with the rain

The joy that just filled me has turned into pain.

THREE BLIND MICE

(Instrumental)

NO TITLE
Well, I got no worry, and I got no pain,
'Cause when I get rid of them, they come back again.
I just keep on doin' what I want to do
If I keep on tryin', I'm sure to come through.

Well, money's no problem, it comes and it goes;
It stops me from starvin', it keeps me in clothes.
There's a god and a devil, I'm sure it must be,
But why should I bother them, they don't bother me.

So I'll keep on playin' and do what I do
These strings on my fingers are all that is true.

FARO

(Instrumental)

SPEED KILLS
Get on the ball, boys. Let' catch that train and get on.

Well, run your Chevy down the highway, doing 95
Got his V-8 engine buzzing like a hive
Gotta catch that mail train, just to stay alive

Well, he wrote his baby a letter when he was in pain
Well, he told his little baby "Don't wanna see you again"
Well, he's gotta drop that letter, gotta catch that train

Gotta beat it to the crossing before he gets to town
Got to keep that whistle humming, keep it to the ground
Gotta catch that mail train, gotta flag it down
Roll on, boy

Well, he's squealing around the bend, tracks are getting near
Well, the roaring of the engine, passing in his ear

Well, he ain't gonna make it...

STANDING AT THE CROSSROADS
Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,
With my head hung down and cryin'
Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,
With my head hung down and cryin'
Well I was thinkin' about my baby,
And I know she can't be found

I work hard for my baby,
And she treats me like a slave
I work hard for my baby,
And she treats me like a slave
Well she was be tired of livin',
I'll put her six feet in the grave

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,
And my baby's not around
Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,
And my baby's not around

SPOONFUL
It could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me
Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fight about a spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of water
To save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of love from my forty five
Will save you from another man

Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of sugar
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me

Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
