I Got The Same Old Blues
(j.j. cale)
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
My babys got a man, lord way across town
Its the same old story
Tell me where will this end
Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
I got the blues... same old blues

She made me for my money and she made me blue.
A man needs a woman that he can lean on,
But my leanin post is done left and gone.
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
Im gonna find me a river, one thats cold as ice.
And when I find me that river, lord Im gonna pay the price, oh lord!
Im goin down in it three times, but lord Im only comin up twice.
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
She told me on sunday she was checkin me out;

And here it is tuesday, aint had no news.
I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.

Fortunate Son
Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue.
And when the band plays hail to the chief,
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no senators son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no,
Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, dont they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no millionaires son, no.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no.
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give?
Ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yoh,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no military son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, one.
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no fortunate one, no no no,

Babys Gone Blues
(pat bunch, pam rose, mary ann kennedy)
I feel the blues coming on
Cause I feel you being gone
Its something I wish I could lose
Babys gone blues
There aint no sunshine in sight
Cause youre gonna leave me tonight
My heart is sure feeling bruised
Babys gone blues
Chorus:
Oh - love has gone wrong
Its so hard on my heart going from good into gone
There aint no easy way back into nights before you
Babys gone blues
Babys gone blues
Its like a razor on me
Knowing you want to be free
Im standing here feeling used
Babys gone blues
There aint no dreams coming true
I wont recover from you
There aint no heartache like you
Babys gone blues

Me & Bobby Mcgee
Busted flat in baton rouge
Headin for the train
Feelin nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all away to new orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin sad while bobby sang the blues
With those windshield wipers slappin time
And bobby clappin hands we finally
Sung up every song that driver knew
Freedoms just another word
For nothin left to lose
Nothin aint worth nothin
But its free
Feelin good was easy lord
When bobby sang the blues
Feelin good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and bobby mcgee
From the coalmines of kentucky
To the california sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin right beside me lord
Through every thing I done
Every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near salinas lord
I let her slip away
Searchin for the home
I hope shell find
And Id give all my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Holdin bobbys body close to mine
Freedoms just another word
For nothin left to lose
Nothin aint worth nothin
But its free
Feelin good was easy lord
When bobby sang the blues
Feelin good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and bobby mcgee

But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die ... Oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river, but the river was dry.
He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.

A woman needs a man that he can lean on,
But my leanin' post is done left and gone.

And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!

And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.

Aint That The Truth
Now pardon my personal demons, child but if you do insist
Sit down and listen to me story awhile, cause it goes something like this
The joint was small but we were having a ball
At a place called the blue duck inn
When I couldnt help but notice her
My future wife walked in
I needed me a dose of her, so I got a little closer
And this is what she said
My old man stands about six foot five
And if he catches you, youre dead
Now I dont need none of that
Giving me the blues
The old man sitting next to me said
Son, let me tell you
Chorus:
Life, you just cant fake it
Love, you gotta make it
Time, you better take it
Lord, aint that the truth
Hear me out
Your heart will surely feel it
Women come and steal it
Time can only heal it
Lord, aint that the truth
I save friday night for the ladies
Saturday night for my gin
Come sunday morning, Im asking the good lord
To forgive me for my sins
Lately my heave-ho get-up-and-go
Wouldnt get me out of bed
I felt like some big wrecking ball
Done hit upside my head
Now I dont need a preacher man
Telling me how to run my life
Until an angel sitting next to me
Said son, heed my advice. she said
Repeat chorus
You better get your story straight
What comes around goes around

I Found Jesus On The Jailhouse Floor
There once was a time when I was dead inside
I cussed the Lord for the day I was born
And prayed to the Devil to die
Just when I thought the Devil had won
Someone opened up the door
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
Chorus:
Now, he broke the chains that bound me, and now Im free
Today Im right where Mama
Prayed Id be
Im down on my knees
Now I believe
What Mama knew for sure
Hes King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
Now, if youre in trouble friend, let me tell you what to do
Ill tell you what hes done for me
And I know what hell do for you
It makes no difference what youve done
Youve a friend in the One that I adore
The King of kings
Lord of lords

Oh lord, the last long day she said goodbye
Hey lord I thought I would cry
Shell do me

And lord I love to hear her
When she calls me sweat daddy

Ive grown so used to you somehow

well hank made a living out of lonely
he sang liek a freight train whistle moan
Said "You'll never get our of this world alive"

Rode down that hillbilly highway
took a big black cadillac on home
and he said "driver keep on driving"
'till all the lonely's go
(Chorus) 'Till all the lonely, 'Till all the lonel
'Till all the lonel's gone, gone, gone
Let's just hold on to eahc other
'Till all the lonely's gone
I told my mama, "Dear sweet mama,
I'm tired and weary to the bone
Just let me walk along your flowers"
Makes me wonder why i roam, lord, lord
Makes me wonder why i roam
Feed me biscuits and milk gravy
'Till your baby's feeling strong
We'll sit up picking on the front porch, yeah
'Till all the lonely's gone
(Chorus)
Well now Jesus was praying in the garden
He never felt so all alone
They knew his suffreing was over
When they rolled away stone, Lord , Lord
When they rolled away the stone
On golden staris he walked to heaven
and there he's waiting on the throne
He loves to hear his children sing and shout
'Till all the lonely's gone

A trust betrayed, a rusty blade

They fight to take control

Needs you like the power, lord, needs the sun

I love you like the miner man loves his gold
Love you like the fishermen loves the sea
I love you like the flowers love the work of bees

But I never have quite made it to the door
I never thought the time would come
Id ever see this day
When you could make me feel so thrown away

All worn out from walking through these blues
