Blues In The Night
My mama done told me when I was in knee-pants,
My mama done told me, she said son!
A woman will sweet-talk ya, shell give you the big eye,
But when that sweet talkin is done
A womans a two-face, a worrisome thing
Wholl leave ya to sing the blues in the night.
Now the rains a fallin, hear the train a callin, whoo-ee,
Hear the lonesome whistle blowin cross the trestle, whoo-ee,
Whoo-ee-a-whoo-ee, ol clickety-clack
Im back on the track of blues in the night
The evening breeze will start the trees to cryin
And the moonlightll hide its light,
When you get the blues in the night.
Take my word, the mockingbird
He will sing the saddest kind of song,
He knows things are wrong and hes right.
From natchez to mobile, from memphis to st. joe,
Wherever the four winds seem to blow,
Ive been in some big towns and Ive heard me some big talkin,
But there is one thing I know,
A womans a two-face, shes a worrisome thing
Wholl leave you to sing the blues in the night.
(got a case of the blues in the night, dont know what to do
Blues every night...)

Blues In The Night
My mama done tol' me
When i was a little
My mama done told me, son
A woman will sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when that sweet talk is done
A woman's a two faced
A woman's something that would leave you singing the blues in the night
Now the rain is falling
Heaven can hear you calling
Doo wee
Heaven blows the lonesome whistle
Blowing across the threshhold
Doo wee
Doo wee ta too tee
A crickety crack go wickety wack the blues in the night
Evening breeze will start
Trees that crying in the
All in the world wood haunted slide
When you get the blues in the night
So take my word
Or the mocking bird
Will sing a sadder kind of song
Maybe he knows things
He knows things can go wrong
A match is a maybe
Love is the same job
Whenever the four winds blow
I've been to some big town
Had me some big town
But there is one thing i know
A woman's a two faced
A woman's something that would leave you singing the blues in the night

Cryin Through The Night
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and I dont know why
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and Im so dissatisfied
cause Ive been cryin through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping pillow
From cryin through the night
Hear me cryin through the night
I am lonely, downhearted and sad
cause Ive lost the best woman that I ever had
To a fiend of mine
Just cant figure out how it could be
That somebody like him could take her away from me
And its on my mind
Nearly all the time
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and I dont know why
Yes I am cryin

And I have been cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping pillow
From cryin through the night
Hear me cryin through the night
Now I know just how best friends can be
cause he made sure you knew your best was with me
And its on my mind
Heres a lesson much greater than wealth
Keep your business to you, yourself and no one else
And your smiling eyes
Wont be cryin like mine
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and I dont know why
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and Im so dissatisfied
cause Ive been cryin through the night

That so many tears sho enough done fell
And pretty soon before you know
Ill have enough tears to fill a water well
Hear me cryin through the night
Oh yeah, cryin through the night
And its on my mind
Nearly all the time
Yes I am cryin
I got the blues and I dont know why

City Boy Blues
Fireflies in dogfights
Runnin hot in the heat
Street noise, another bribe
Things too hard to believe--so head out
My hearts in the country
My feets in the city with you
All my friends are eatin sushi
Talkin bad about you know who-who-who
My tongues talkin riddles
But I just cant seem to find a clue
So I take a swig of whiskey
And jump into the saddle with you-you-you
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
Cats in the alley
Rats in my snakeskin boots
All my neighbors think Im crazy
And my girl thinks Im losin my cool-cool-cool
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
Dont look to jesus to change your seasons
Its the american dream
Souls of gypsies, road of stone
Cant seem to find no peace--so head out
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
I got the blues, I got the blues, got the city boy blues
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
(rodney crowell)
Shes a rounder I can tell you that
She can sing em all night, too
Shell raise hell about the sleep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues
Especially cowgirls, theyre the gypsy kind
And need their laid on em loose
Shes lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin rides out of the blues
But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to dont know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin like shes too far gone
The only way shes ever been
Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to dont know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin like shes too far gone
The only way shes ever been
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to dont know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin like the restless wind
The only way shes ever been

Cowboy Blues
(mike geiger/michael huffman/george mccorkle)
Well theres a lonesome feelin that comes over me
When I hear that highway moan
I know its where the good lord meant for me to be
A dreamin drifter far from home
I roam from town to town out on the interstate
Im always only passin through
I need my womans lovin shes so far away
Im singin the cowboy blues
Stranger dont you know Id like to be your friend
If I had the time to stay
But Im a tumbleweed a blowin in the wind
Ive got to catch another stage
I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
Im shootin for the heart a lookin in your eyes
Singin the cowboy blues
Sometimes I get to thinkin bout settlin down
Fade off into a memory
Every night that I step out to face the crowd
I know this is the life for me
I strap on my guitar just like a .45
I pray each night my aim is true
Im shootin for the heart a lookin in your eyes
Im singin the cowboy blues
Singin the cowboy blues

Choo Choo Chboogie
This song was first released on the all aboard! album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Im headed for the station with my pack on my back
Im tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I just love the rhythm of the clickety clack
I hear the whistle blowing, see the smoke from the stack
And pal around with democratic fellas named mac
Take me right back to the track, jack
Choo choo, choo choo chboogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo chboogle
Choo choo choo choo chboogie
Take me right back to the track, jack
You reach your destination and alas and alack
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
And read the situation from the front to the back
The only job thats open needs a man with a knack
Take me right back to the track, jack
Choo choo, choo choo chboogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo chboogle
Choo choo choo choo chboogie
Take me right back to the track, jack
Choo choo, choo choo chboogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo chboogle

My Old Friend The Blues
Just when every ray of hope was gone
I should have known that you would come along
I cant believe I ever doubted you
My old friend the blues
Another lonely night, a nameless town
If sleep dont take me first, youll come around
cause I know I can always count on you

Lovers leave and friends will let you down
But youre the only sure thing that Ive found
No matter what I do Ill never lose

Just let me hide my weary heart in you

Lonely Night
This is just a lonely night without you,
My sweet lover come and hold me tight;
A lonely night when,
Lovers have to be in loving arms.
It is just a lonely night without you,
And i am feeling the blues without a clue;
This is just a lonely night without you.
Whenever i do feel the blues,
I need you around to warm me up;
This is just a lonely night without you.
Oh, what alonely night without you;
I am feeling the cold alone without you.
We should be in loving arm for,
The stars to spell out our names;
Come back soon my love to feel my blues.
This is just a lonely night and,
I need your romantic body around;
My sweet woman,
Never leave me lonely like this;
Lonely on my bed of roses,
Lonely in my room without you;
Come and never be too late my love,
Come and feel my blues.
This is just a lonely night with,
The misty fog all over;
Come and be my lover tonight with,
The Roses of love to crown the night.
Never go away always without a clue,
This is just a lonely night without you;
Come and never be late!
Come and give me the clue to feel my blues.

Ive Got The Blues More Than You Do Blues
Grew up in the mississippi delta
In a shotgun shack
Washboard for my pillow
til the tax man took that back
Moved out on my own
I was just eight years old ... top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
Ive got the blues more than you do ... blues
When I was an itty-bitty baby
I was my mamas only surviving son
She used my head as a washrag
I thought it was fun
Walked to school upway both ways
With no legs ... top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
Ive got the blues more than you do ... blues
Got so drunk the other night I couldnt find my way home
Had to have a blind man show me
When I finally did get there,
My own dog had disowned me
A womam in a bar just looks at me and coughed and said
I dont even know you, but I wish youd die off ... top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
Ive got the blues more than you do ... blues

Black Jack Blues
Ow ow ow ow ow
This is the story of a man
He had a problem with gambling
He liked AA, he was a real big fan
But that didn't help and he just kept rambling
ow ow ow ow ow
He visited this casino in Las Vegas
He was hoping to gamble less
But it just didn't work, he couldn't hack it
He was just too addicted to Black Jack
ow ow-ow ow ow ow
He is the black jack man
He has the black jack blues
He's the number one fan
ow ow ow whoo hoo
He didn't know what to do
His wife had already left him, that beautiful Maggie Sue
He had nothing left to live for
Those black jack blues were killing him more and more

He is the black jack man
He has the black jack blues
He's the number one fan

Oh Lonesome You
(written by jamie ohara, kieran kane)
You think you got me wrapped around your finger
You treat me like my mama raised a fool
But Ill tell you how youll feel
When you hear my tires squeal
And Im gone with somebody new
Its gonna be oh lonesome you
Moaning those all-night blues
Maybe youll see what its like to be me
When its oh lonesome you
My pride is gettin sore from being stepped on
My heart is weak from swimming through the tears
But my two feet are strong and it wont takeem long
Just to walk on out of here
Then itll be oh lonesome you
Moaning those all-night blues
Maybe youll see what its like to be me
When its oh lonesome you
Its gonna be oh lonesome you
Moaning those all-night blues
Maybe youll see what its like to be me

I Got The Same Old Blues

Have you heard that rumor thats goin around
My babys got a man, lord way across town
Its the same old story
Tell me where will it end
Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again
Well I wrote you a letter, must have read it wrong
Stood at the doorway and baby you was gone
Took a lot of courage
To let the telephone ring
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Well you gave me the business, though I didnt mind
cause I got a lot of patience, lord got a lot of time
Its the same old story
Tell me where will it end
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Here come my blues
Gonna find me a mountain and gonna hide out
Aint talkin to you babe, lord I aint comin back
Well I heard that rumor, tell where will it end
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Have you heard that rumor thats goin around

Freight Train Blues
(first releasetraditional, arranged by bob dylan)
I was born in dixie in a boomers shack,
Just a little shanty by the railroad track
Freight train was it taught me how to cry,
The holler of the driver was my lullaby.
Ive got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo)
Oh, lawdy mama got em on the bottom of my ramblin shoes
And when the whistle blows, I gotta go
Baby dont you know
It looks like Im never gonna lose
The freight train blues.
Well, my daddy was a fireman and my mama hear
She was the only daughter of the engineer
My sweetheart loved the brakeman and that aint no joke
Its a shame the way she keeps a good man broke.
I got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo)
Oh, lawdy I got em in the bottom of my ramblin shoes
And when the whistle blows, I gotta go
Oh mama dont you know
Well it looks like Im never gonna lose
The freight train blues.
Well, the only thing that makes you laugh again
Is a south bound whistle on a south bound train
Every place I want to go
I never can go because you know
Because I got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo)
Oh, lawdy mama, got em on the bottom of my ramblin shoes
