The Lucky Old Sun

Oh lawd oh lawd! I'm tired and weary of pain
Please lawd! please lawd! forgive me if I complain
Up in the mornin' out on the job work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
but roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin', tears all in my eyes;
Send down that cloud with a silver linin', lift me to paradise
Show me that river take me across and wash all my trou-bles away.
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

That Lucky Old Sun

Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till i'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Dear lord above, can't you know i'm pining, tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do but rol around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Youre Gonna Quit Me

Youre gonna quit me, baby,
Good as I been to you, lawd, lawd.
Good as I been to you, lawd, lawd.
Good as I been to you.
Give you my money, honey,
Buy you shoes and clothes, lawd, lawd.
Youre gonna quit me, baby,
Put me outta doors, lawd, lawd.
Six months on the chain gang,
Believe me, it aint no fun, lawd, lawd.
Day you quit me, baby,
Thats the day you die, lawd, lawd.
Jailhouse aint no plaything,
Believe me, aint no lie, lawd, lawd.
Day you quit me, baby,
Thats the day you die, lawd, lawd.

Bound No’th Blues

Goin’ down the road, Lawd,
Goin’ down the road.
Down the road, Lawd,
Way,way down the road.
Got to find somebody
To help me carry this load.

Road’s in front o’ me,
Nothin’ to do but walk.
Road’s in front of me,
Walk…an’ walk…an’ walk.
I’d like to meet a good friend
To come along an’ talk.

Hates to be lonely,
Lawd, I hates to be sad.
Says I hates to be lonely,
Hates to be lonely an’ sad,
But ever friend you finds seems
Like they try to do you bad.

Road, road, road, O!
Road, road…road…road, road!
Road, road, road, O!
On the no’thern road.
These Mississippi towns ain’t
Fit fer a hoppin’ toad.

Puttin' The Baby Away

EIGHT of 'em hyeah all tol' an' yet
Dese eyes o' mine is wringin' wet;
My haht's a-achin' ha'd an' so',
De way hit nevah ached befo';
My soul's a-pleadin', 'Lawd give back
Dis little lonesome baby black,
Dis one, dis las' po' he'pless one
Whose little race was too soon run.'
Po' Little Jim, des fo' yeahs' ol'
A-layin' down so still an' col'.
Somehow hit don' seem ha'dly faih,
To have my baby lyin' daih
Wi'dout a smile upon his face,
Wi'dout a look erbout de place;
He ust to be so full o' fun
Hit don' seem right dat all's done, done.
Des eight in all but I don' caih,
Dey wa'nt a single one to spaih;
De worl' was big, so was my haht,
An' dis hyeah baby owned hit's paht;
De house was po', dey clothes was rough,
But daih was meat an' meal enough;
An' daih was room fu' little Jim;
Oh! Lawd, what made you call fu' him?
It do seem monst'ous ha'd to-day,
To lay dis baby boy away;
I'd learned to love his teasin' smile,
He mought o' des been lef' erwhile;
You wouldn't t'ought wid all de folks,
Dat's roun' hyeah mixin' teahs an' jokes,
De Lawd u'd had de time to see
Dis chile an' tek him 'way f'om me.
But let it go, I reckon Jim,
'll des go right straight up to Him
Dat took him f'om his mammy's nest
An' lef' dis achin' in my breas',
An' lookin' in dat fathah's face
An' 'memberin' dis lone sorrerin' place,
He'll say, 'Good Lawd, you ought to had
Do sumpin' fu' to comfo't dad!'

They made you be born in a manguh (manger)

Roll Like The River

(lovett/peacock/clyne)
I see the birds up in the sky
They can fly so high, then why cant i
I see the fishes in the sea
And they just swim so free and laugh at me
Now I can run as fast as anyone
And no one follows me
Can you imagine anybody so free?
I got no secrets in my head
I got no books to read that must be read
I wonder down the water way
I left my cares and troubles yesterday
I got no need to be ahurrin
And no ones pushin me
And nothing ever gets to worrin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
I see new opens to the sun
And theres no door to close to anyone
Who makes rivers down my face
And Ill leave each one to find its place
I got no need to be ahurrin
And no ones pushin me
And nothing ever gets to worrin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me

Deal Goin Down

When the deal goin down and you gonna take your chance
Theres always just a mystery that locks you in a trance
No matter what the future brings youre booked, and lawd youre bound
Be steppin softly when you know the deal is goin down
When the deal go down and the noose is bein tied
Aint no gettin round it, fade back and let it lie
No matter what the future brings youre booked, and lawd youre bound
Be steppin softly when you know the deal is goin down
No matter what the future brings youre booked, and lawd youre bound
Be steppin softly when you know
No matter what the future brings youre booked, and lawd youre bound
Be steppin softly when you know the deal is goin down
Goin down
Down, down

An Ante-Bellum Sermon

We is gathahed hyeah, my brothahs,
In dis howlin' wildaness,
Fu' to speak some words of comfo't
To each othah in distress.
An' we chooses fu' ouah subjic'
Dis - we'll 'splain it by an' by;
'An' de Lawd said, ' Moses, Moses,'
An' de man said, 'Hyeah am I.''

Now ole Pher'oh, down in Egypt,
Was de wuss man evah bo'n,
An' he had de Hebrew chillun
Down dah wukin' in his co'n;
'T well de Lawd got tiahed o' his foolin',
An' sez he: 'I'll let him know -
Look hyeah, Moses, go tell Pher'oh
Fu' to let dem chillun go.'

'An' ef he refuse to do it,
I will make him rue de houah,
Fu' I'll empty down on Egypt
All de vials of my powah.'
Yes, he did - an' Pher'oh's ahmy
Was n't wuth a ha'f a dime;
Fu' de Lawd will he'p his chillun,
You kin trust him evah time.

An' yo' enemies may 'sail you
In de back an' in de front;
But de Lawd is all aroun' you,
Fu' to ba' de battle's brunt.
Dey kin fo'ge yo' chains an' shackles
F'om de mountains to de sea;
But de Lawd will sen' some Moses
Fu' to set his chillun free.

An' de lan' shall hyeah his thundah,
Lak a blas' f'om Gab'el's ho'n,
Fu' de Lawd of hosts is mighty
When he girds his ahmor on.
But fu' feah some one mistakes me,
I will pause right hyeah to say,
Dat I'm still a-preachin' ancient,
I ain't talkin' 'bout to-day.

But I tell you, fellah christuns,
Things'll happen mighty strange;
Now, de Lawd done dis fu' Isrul,
An' his ways don't nevah change,
An, de love he showed to Isrul
Was n't all on Isrul spent;
Now don't run an' tell yo' mastahs
Dat I's preachin' discontent.

'Cause I is n't; I'se a-judgin'
Bible people by deir ac's;
I'se a-givin' you de Scriptuah,
I'se a-handin' you de fac's.
Cose ole Pher'oh b'lieved in slav'ry,
But de Lawd he let him see,
Dat de people he put bref in, -
Evah mothah's son was free.

An' dahs othahs thinks lak Pher'oh,
But dey calls de Scriptuah liar,
Fu' de Bible says 'a servant
Is a-worthy of his hire.'
An' you cain't git roun' nor thoo dat
An' you cain't git ovah it,
Fu' whatevah place you git in,
Dis hyeah Bible too 'll fit.

So you see de Lawd's intention,
Evah sence de worl' began,
Was dat His almighty freedom
Should belong to evah man,
But I think it would be bettah,
Ef I'd pause agin to say,
Dat I'm talkin' 'bout ouah freedom
In a Bibleistic way.

But de Moses is a-comin',
An' he's comin', suah and fas'
We kin hyeah his feet a-trompin',
We kin hyeah his trumpit blas'.
But I want to wa'n you people,
Don't you git too brigity;
An' don't you git to braggin'
'Bout dese things, you wait an' see.

But when Moses wif his powah
Comes an' sets us chillun free,
We will praise de gracious Mastah
Dat has gin us liberty;
An' we'll shout ouah halleluyahs,
On dat mighty reck'nin' day,
When we'se reco'nised ez citiz'-
Huh uh! Chillun, let us pray!

W'en de sto'm er railin' an' de shettahs blowin' 'bout,
Dat de time de fiah-place crack hits welcome out.
Tain' my livin' business fu' to trouble ner enquiah
De Lawd'll min' de wintah an' my mammy'll min' de fiah.

Ez it does in bakin' any othah time o' yeah.
De bacon smell ez callin'-like, de kittle rock an' sing,
De same way in de wintah dat dey do it in de spring;
Dey ain't no use in mopin' 'round an' lookin' mad an' glum
Erbout de wintah season, fu' hit's des plumb boun' to come;
An' ef it comes to runnin' t'ings I's willin' to retiah,

Get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots and pans.

Well, it wont do nothin to save your doggone soul.
Im like a one-eyed cat, peepin in a seafood store.
Im like a one-eyed cat, peepin in a seafood store.
Well, I can look at you and tell you aint no child no more.
Way over the hill, and wigged out underneath.
Way over the hill, and wigged out underneath.
You make me roll my eyes; baby, make me grit my teeth.

Roll down, Long River (song)

Roll down, Long, Long River to the sea,
Call me, Long, Long River where I should be.
Sing me a lullaby
How to live and die.
Lark's song in the sky
Lets me survive…

Bring your mud mad waters to the East.
Are you tired, Long River, of the heartless lucky beasts?
Lonely tears and cries,
Cruel lies and crimes
You submerge as well,
You'll never tell…

Roll down, Long, Long River to the sea…
Call me, Long, Long River where I should be…
Roll down, Long, Long River…
Roll down, Long, Long River…
To the East…

Misunderstood

When you're back in your old neighborhood
The cigarettes taste so good
But you're so misunderstood
You're so misunderstood
There's something there that you can't find
Honest when you're tellin' a lie
You hurt her but you don't know why
You love her but you don't know why
Short on long term goals
There's a party there that we oughtta go to
Do you still love rock and roll?
Do you still love rock and roll?
It's only a quarter to three
Reflecting off your C.D.
You're looking at a picture of me
You're staring at a picture of me
Take the guitar player for a ride
He ain't never been satisfied
He thinks he owes some kind of debt
Be years before he gets over it
There's a fortune inside your head
All you touch turns to lead
You think you might just crawl back in bed
The fortune inside your head
You know you're just a mama's boy
Positively unemployed
So misunderstood
So misunderstood
I know you're gotta God shaped hole
Leanin' out your_______________
So misunderstood (x4)
I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
I'd like to thank you all for nothin' at all
I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
Nothin' (x4)
Nothin' at all
Nothin' (x3)

Ol Man River

(oscar hammerstein ii and jerome kern)
Old man river, that old man river,
He dont say nothin, but he must know somethin
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.
He dont plant taters,
And we all know he dont pick cotton.
But them that plant em, are soon forgotten, that
Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does.
You and me, we sweat and toil,
Our bodies all achin and racked with pain, now listen!
Lift that bar, youd better, tote that bail,
And if ya get a little drunk,
Youll land in jail.
Im so weary, and sick of tryin,
Im tired of livin, but afraid of dyin.
That, that god-darn old river, he just keeps rolling along.
Keep on rollin along.
Keep on rollin along.
Old man river dont you stop your way.
Keep on runnin from the north, the south, the east or west,
You gotta roll it ...

Send Me An Angel

Do you believe in heaven above?
Do you believe in love?
Don't tell a lie,
Don't be false or untrue,
It all comes back to you
Open fire on my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defenses are down,
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own.
If a girl walks in and carves her name in my heart,
I'll turn and run away
Everyday we've all been led astray,
It's hard to be lucky in love.
It gets in your eyes,
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love,
Calling heaven above...
(Chorus)
Send me an angel,
Send me an angel...
Right now,
Right now...
Send me an angel,
Send me an angel...
Right now,
Right now...
Empty dreams can only disappoint,
In a room behind your smile
But don't give up
Don't give up
You can be lucky in love
It gets in your eyes,
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love,
Calling heaven above...
(Chorus)
Send me an angel,
Send me an angel...
Right now,
Right now...
Send me an angel,
Send me an angel...
Right now,
Right now...

Life is a paradise
Oooh yeah!
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven I know, I know
'Cause I've been there with you tonight
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven I know, I know
'Cause I've been there with you tonight
I'm a prisoner of hope I know
I believe life could be paradise once again
And the love we thought we lost is sleeping within
Close your eyes, it's something for you
Lucky Love....
We are young and we are old we're fallen like leaves
And your heart's so full of soul it makes me believe
Once again, it's something for you

Hey Lucky Lady

Hey lucky lady lucky lady I was once the lucky lady
I was happy with my baby I was such a lucky lady
Hey lucky lady lucky lady you are now the lucky lady
Are you happy with my baby you know you're a lucky lady you lucky lady
Lucky lady that's what I was I was happy to have his love
All a woman could wish for he was that and so much more
He was mine and how I loved him before your hands ever touched him
Long before your temptin' eyes lured my baby from my life
Hey lucky lady lucky lady...
Is it love or is it pleasure do you know you've found a treasure
Are you only having fun do you know the prize you've won
If you don't want something lasting if it's just the time you're passing
Lucky lady give him up cause I do love him very much
Hey lucky lady lucky lady...
Hey lucky lady lucky lady...

Lucky Man

Runnin down the highway half-past eleven
Waitin for my odometer to roll straight sevens
Im a lucky man
I went to see the gypsy the other night
She looked in my palm, looked me in the eye
And said youre a lucky man
Some folks got fortune, some got eyes of blue
What you got will always see you through
Youre a lucky man
Pa went from the army to the factory to the killin yard
I make my living with my hands hind the wheel of this car
Im a lucky man
Messin with me, man, it wouldnt be wise
Roll them dice, son . . . snake eyes
Im a lucky man
Had a girl in calgary, I gave her up
Man, that love thing was messin with my luck
And Im a lucky man
Ill wake up tomorrow morning in another state
Kiss me now, baby, before its too late
If you wanna kiss a lucky man
I dont miss no girl, I dont miss no home
He travels fastest who travels alone
Hes a lucky man
A man with the world in the palm of his hands
