A Man And The Blues

What can a man do
When the blues keep following him around
What can a poor man do
When the blues, when the blues keep following him around
Get him a half pint of good liquor
And sit there and drink it all down
Look out
The way I feel sometimes
I feel, I feel like drinkin' me some gasoline
Wow
I'm telling you the way I feel sometimes
I feel like, I feel just like drinkin' me some gasoline
Strikin' me a match
And blow my, blow my fool self up in steam

He
Play the blues, play the blues, play the blues
Alright
Alright

I think I'll move back down south
Where the water tastes just like cherry wine
I think I'm move on back down south
People where the water tastes to me like cherry wine
This Lake Michigan water
Tastes to me just like terpentine
Let me have it now

Bad Bad Whiskey

Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Made me loose my happy home
Made me loose my happy home
Whiskey endless women
Is driving me out of my mind
Every time I get a lover that's tough you know
I think I'm doin' just fine
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Made me loose my happy home
Made me loose my happy home

I went out last night
Finally knocked myself outa sight
I got full of that bad stuff
And almost started a fight

Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Made me loose my happy home
Made me loose my happy home

I wanna tell you baby
I'm now feeling just fine
I think i'll stop drinking whiskey
and going back to bad wine
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Made me loose my happy home
Made me loose my happy home

Let me tell you
Oh, that bad whiskey
Oh, that bad whiskey
Oh, that no good whiskey

Country Man

I'm a country man
I was country ever since I come to town
I'm a country man
I was country when I come to town
You know I can look at a milk cow
And I'll tell you how much her butter will come a pound
I'm just green as a pool table
You know I'm twice as square
Green as a pool table
And you know I'm twice as square
I may be a educated fool
But that's something I don't have

I'm a country man¦
Just as country as I can be
I'm a country man
Just as country as I can be
You may get me out of the country people but you
never will get the country out of me

I'm green as a pool table
People you know I'm twice as square
Green as a pool table
People you know I'm twice as square
I wanna be a educated fool
But it's something I don't have.

I'm a country man
I was country when I come to town
I'm a country man
I was country when I come to town
You know I can look at a milk cow
Tell you how much her butter will come a pound

Just a country man, baby, you know I ain't shamed
I'm a country man, baby, you know I ain't shamed
That's why I'm crazy 'bout my guitar
That's why I surely will keep on playing.

First Time I Met The Blues

Yeah, aha
Yeah, the first time I met the blues
You know I was walkin' down through the woods
Yes, the first time I met the blues
People you know I was walkin' down through the woods
The blues got after me
And you know, and you know they didn't do me much good
Hello, blues what you're doing here so soon

Midnight Train

I was standin' at the station
Ten to midnight in the rain
I was mindin' my own bus'ness
Waiting for that midnight train

Nobody in sight, starin' at my shoes
I took out my paper to find me some good news
Mindin' my own bus'ness
When the ticket man calls my name
Yeah, yeah, babe

There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
Comin' down the line

So I say, 'If it ain't too much trouble
When's the local out of town?'
His reply: 'Two a.m.'
If I'm leavin' local-bound

I can catch it in forty minutes
If I want to grab the express
But the local trains are hard to come by
This time of night, more or less
Listen, said

There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
Comin' down the line

So I stood for forty minutes
It was raining and it was cold
When the express rolled down the track
I did not care where it was gonna go
Yeah, yeah,

He said
There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
Comin' down the line

Texas Flood

Well there's floodin' down in Texas
And all the telephone lines are down
Well there's floodin' down in Texas
And all the telephone lines are down
Yes you know I'm trying to call my baby
Ahh you know I can't get a single sound
Dark clouds rollin'
Man it looks like it's goin' to rain
Dark clouds rollin'
Man it looks like it's goin' to rain
Yes I bother to find my baby
Man you know it's gonna drive poor me insane
Yeah

Dark clouds rollin'
Man it looks like it's goin' to rain
Dark clouds rollin'
Man it looks like it's goin' to rain
Yes I bother to find my baby
Man you know it's gonna drive poor me insane

Well I'm leavin' you baby
Oh I say I'm goin' back home to stay
I'm leavin' you baby
Lord I'm goin' back home to stay
Yes you know they have more floods in Texas
And baby you know the sun shines every day

When I Left Home

Blind man standin' on, on the corner
He said I don't, ah, I don't need a dollar
And don't you give me a dime
Until you bring back that little girl
Ow my

The people try to tell me to stop cryin'
And find me someone new
'Cause when the good Lord made one woman
Halleluja, don't you know he made two

And I can't let her go no no
