My Father's Eyes

Sailing down behind the sun, waiting for my prince to come
Praying for the healing rain to restore my soul again
Just a toe-rag on the run, how did I get here, what have I done
When will all my hopes arrive
How will I know him when I look in my father’s eyes

Then the light begins to shine and I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watched this seedling grow, feel my heart start to overflow
When will I learn the words to say, how do I teach him, what do we play
If I did, I’d realize
That’s when I need him, that’s when I need my father’s eyes

Were you really so far away
Were you really so far away
Were you really so far away
Were you really so far away

Then the jagged edge appears through the distant clouds of tears
I’m like a bridge that has washed away; my foundations were made of clay
As my soul slides down to die, how could I lose him, what did I try
If I did, I’d recognize
He was here with me, I’d looked into my father’s eyes

As my soul slides down to die, how could I lose him, what did I try
If I did, I’d recognize
He was here with me I’d looked into my father’s eyes

Driftin'
(by Charles Brown, Johnny Moore and Eddie Williams)

I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.
Well I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me.
If my baby would only take me back again.
If my baby would only take me back again.
I would feel much better, darling, and at least I'd have a friend.
I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do.
I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do.
You is a sweet little girl but I swear you won't be true.
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.
Because I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me.

Double Trouble
(by Otis Rush)

Lay awake at night,
Oh so low, just so troubled.
Can't get a job,
Laid off and I'm having double trouble.
Hey hey, to make you've got to try.
Baby, that's no lie.
Some of this generation is millionaires;
I can't even keep decent clothes to wear.
Laugh at me walking,
And I have no place to go.
Bad luck and trouble has taken me;
I have no money to show.
Chorus

Double Crossing Time
(by John Mayall and Eric Clapton)

It's a mean old scene when it comes to double crossing time.
It's a mean old scene when it comes to double crossing time.
When you think you got good buddies, they will spin around and cheat you blind.
Double crossing man is mean, he will try to make it so you lose.
Double crossing man, he will try to make it so you lose.
You'll fill your mind with worry, you know he hurt me with the blues.

Early In The Morning
(traditional)

When a girl reach the age of 18
She begins to think she's grown,
And hat's the kind of little girl
You can never find at home.
Come and see me early in the morning,
Just about the break of day.
Want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?
One drink of wine,
Two drinks of gin.
Pretty young got me
In the shape I'm in.
Chorus
I pass by the juke joint,
Look through the door.
She's doing the boogie-woogie
In the middle of the floor.
Chorus

Everybody Oughta Make A Change
(by Sleepy John Estes)

Change in the weather, change in the sea,
Come back baby, you'll find a change in me.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we have to go down in that lonesome ground.
I changed suits, I changed shirts,
I changed, baby, just to get shed of the dirt.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we're going down in that lonesome ground.
I changed honey, I changed money,
I changed, people, just to keep from being funny.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we're going down in that lonesome ground.
Change in the ocean, change in the sea,
Come back baby, you'll find a change in me.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we're going down in that lonesome ground.
