Perrier Blues
Perrier blues
By: jimmy buffett
1978
-- spoken:
This is a brand new song wed like to do for you now. and, I wrote this
Song sittin sandin the ol main mast sittin in the hurricane hole, in
Nassau, bahamas. about to throw up and the only thing that could get me
Through was a bottle of perrier and a jackson browne album. so, this is
Called perrier blues.
Ridin high atop the main mast
Harbor stretched out below
All day Ive been feelin kind of half-assed
So I asked the boy to lower me slow
Lower me slow
Sat down and drank me some perrier
Watched the seaplane disappear out of sight
Confused in my head well I jumped back in bed
Wondering whos at the fronton tonight
Shinin bright
I know the night and I miss it
Ive got this thing for applause
But like a cat on my rockin chair cushion
Ive got to stretch my claws
Move my jaw
I know Ive got the best of both worlds
Though that sounds like a t.v. show
When that anchor goes down and the sails are all furled
Well its back on the road I go
Back I go
Well I bitch about the food and the weather
Wondering why the hell I ever came back
But knowing deep down I love this merry-go-round
And I cant wait to lay down this track
When I get back
Yeah, I know the night and I love it
Ive got this thing for a show
If the balls hit my way Im going to glove it
cause thats the only thing I know
All I know
Yeah, I know the night and I miss it
Ive got this thing for applause
But like a cat on my rockin chair cushion
Ive got to stretch my claws
Move my jaw
Move my jaw
Cant seem to lose those perrier blues
Cant seem to lose those perrier blues
Cant seem to lose those perrier blues

She's Got The Rhythm ( And I Got The Blues)
Spoken: Ya'll got the rhythm in here tonight?
Crowd noisethenAw Yea,
Old bar stool's feelin' higher
I've started sinkin' lower
The minute that she waltzed right through that door
Not long ago I held her, like a fool I went and left her
Now she's with somebody new out on that floor.
And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues
And she's showin' me how much I had to lose
With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm and I've got the blues.
Yee Haw.
--- Instrumental ---
That music's gettin' louder
As my heart keeps beatin' faster
As she spells out regret in perfect time
Well, I thought I wanted freedom but that ball and chain I need 'em
'Cause when you choose sometimes you lose the prize.
'Cause she's got the rhythm and I got the blues
She's showin' me how much I had to lose
With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm and I've got the blues.
--- Instrumental ---
Yeah, she's got the rhythm and I got the blues
She's showin' me how much I had to lose
With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm and I've got the blues.
Yeah, with her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm and I got the blues...

This old bar stools feeling higher
As a started sinking lower
The minute that she waltzed right through that door
Not long ago i held her

Now she's with somebody else out on that floor
And she's got the rhythm and i got the blues
And she's showing me how much i had to lose
With her every little move she's telling me i'm over you

Azure-te
(b. davis, d. wolf)
Gone and got the blues in paris,
Paris blues called azure-te.
How can I be blue in paris?
Easy, cause youre far away.
Cant lose this blues,
This azure-te.
Moments, springtime, eiffel tower,
Funny taxes, kids at play.
Paris without you is lonesome,
Yearning more and more each day.
Cant lose this blues,
This azure-te.
~interlude~
If you knew how much I need you,
Youd come back to me to stay.
Having you with me in paris
Really is the only way
To lose this blues,
This azure-te.
Cant lose this blues,
This azure-te.

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...)

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

Runnin Blue
Poor otis dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Poor otis dead and gone
Yeah, back down, turn around slowly
Try it again, remembering when
It was easy, try it again
Much to easy, rememberin when
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin blues
Dont fight, too much to lose
Cant fight the runnin blues
Well, Ive got the runnin blues
Runnin away, back to l.a.
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in l.a.
Runnin scared
Runnin blue
Goin so fast
Whatll I do
Well, Ive got the runnin blues
Runnin away, back to l.a.
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in l.a.
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin blues
Dont fight, too much to lose
Cant fight the runnin blues

Dont fight, too much to lose

Dip It Low [Video Version]
Says he wants you
He says he needs you
It's real talk, then why not make him wait for you
If he really wants you
If he really needs you
Really got to have you
Take your time and feel him out
When he's a good boy
I mean a really really good boy
Why not let him lay with you
That's when you give it to him good
[Chorus:]
Dip it low
Pick it up slow
Roll it all around
Poke it out like your back broke
Pop pop pop that thing
Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"
Dip it low
Pick it up slow
Roll it all around
Poke it out like your back broke
Pop pop pop that thing
Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"
You getting bold
He growin' cold
It's just the symptoms of young love
Growin' old
You think it's time
And you're thinking of leaving
But give it time
It's late at night
He's coming home
Meet him at the door with nothin' on
Take him by the hand
Let him know what's on
If you understand me
Yall come on
All my ladies wind it up
If you know just how to move (mooove)
All my fellas jump behind
And show her what you want to do (show her what you got daddy)
All my ladies wind it up
If you know just how to move
All my fellas jump behind
And show her what you want to do (ouuuh..wouh ouh)
Dip it low
Pick it up slow (ohhh)
Roll it all around
Poke it out like your back broke
Pop pop pop that thing
Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo" (ima show you how to make him)
Dip it low (ouhhh)
Pick it up slow
Roll it all around
Poke it out like your back broke
Pop pop pop that thing
Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"
We can move if you wanna
We can move if you wanna
We can mooove if you wanna
We can mooooooove...
Dip it low
Pick it up slow (slowww)
Roll it all around (ohhhh)
Poke it out like your back broke
Pop pop pop that thing (yeah)
Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"
Dip it low
Pick it up slow
Roll it all around
Poke it out like your back broke (come on come on come on)
Pop pop pop that thing
Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo" (ooooh)
Dip it low
Pick it up slow
Roll it all around
Poke it out like your back broke
Pop pop pop that thing
Ima show you how to make your man say "Ooo"

Too Young For The Blues
Such a bad thing to run away from my mother
Right into the arms of a lover
I should walk away from you in my brand new shoes
Because I'm just too young, too young for the blues
I'm a baby, and your kiss is so tender
I'm a big fool if I ever surrender
I'll come back some day when I learn the rules
Because I'm just too young, too young for the blues
Soon enough the blues will come and break my heart
So I'll make my getaway before the teardrops start
It's a hard game and I'm just a beginner
Why play if the blues is the winner
If I stick around I know I'll lose
Because I'm just too young, too young for the blues
Soon enough the blues will come and break my heart
So I'll make my getaway before the teardrops start
It's a hard game and I'm just a beginner
Why play if the blues is the winner
If I stick around I know I'll lose
Because I'm just too young, too young for the blues
Just too young, too young for the blues.

Everybodys Rockin
When grandma and grandpa get out on the floor
They rock until they drop and then they rock some more
Yeah, everybodys rockin, well, everybodys rockin
Everybodys rockin, rockin to the dancin beat.
From the shaky city down to new orleans
The golden gate to the bronx and queens
Everybodys rockin, yeah, everybodys rockin,
Well, everybodys rockin, rockin to the dancin beat.
When ronnie and nancy do the bop on the lawn
Theyre rockin in the white house all night long.
Everybodys rockin, everybodys rockin,
Everybodys rockin, rockin their blues away.
Everybodys rockin, rockin their blues away
Everybodys rockin, rockin all night and day.
Everybodys rockin, everybodys rockin
Yeah, everybodys rockin, everybodys rockin
Everybodys rockin, rockin to the dancin beat.
Everybodys rockin, dancin to the rockin beat.

The Jazzy Bard
Labor is a thing I do not like;
Workin's makes me want to go on strike;
Sittin' in an office on a sunny afternoon,
Thinkin o' nothin' but a ragtime tune.
'Cause I got the blues, I said I got the blues,
I got the paragraphic blues,
Been a'sittin' here since ha' pas' ten,
Bitin' a hole in my fountain pen;
Brain's all stiff in the creakin' joints,
Can't make up no wheezes on the fourteen points;
Can't think o' nothin' 'bout the end o' booze,
'Cause I got the para--, I said I got the paragraphic, I mean the column constructin' blues.

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
My old friend the blues
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
My old friend the blues
Just let me hide my weary heart in you
My old friend the blues

A Mess Of Blues (#1)
I just got your letter baby
Too bad you can't come home
I swear Im goin' crazy
Sittin' here all alone
Since your gone
I got a mess of blues
I ain't slept a week since Sunday
I can't eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since you've been away
Since your gone
I got a mess of blues
Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace
Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since your gone
I got a mess of blues

Anythings Better Than Feelin The Blues
(matrica berg/randy scruggs)
I sent myself a dozen roses
Right before the office closes
Just to make my girlfriends green with envy
Ever since I lost you
All the crazy things I do
I didnt even know I had it in me.. oh but
Hey its all right
Its just another saturday night
Got nobody.. got no nothin to lose
Im gonna get dressed up and go downtown
Spread a little misery round
Anythings better than feelin the blues
Found a restaurant on my way
Told em it was my birthday
Just to hear the waiters sing off-key
Ive sprung a loose wire.. thats a fact
Got a strange little monkey on my back
But I kinda like the company.. and I guess
Hey, its all right
Its just another saturday night
Got nobody.. got no nothin to lose.
Im gonna get dressed up and go downtown
Dance the little monkey around
Anythings better than feelin the blues
Hey its alright.
Its just another saturday night
Got nobody... got no nothin to lose.
Im gonna get dressed up and go down town
Live it up and never live it down
Anythings better than feelin the blues
Anythings better than feelin the blues

Babys Gone Blues

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
