Got me accused of murder, I ain't harmed a man
Got me accused of forgery, I can't even write my name
Bad luck, bad luck is killing me
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree

Got me accused of taxes, I ain't got a dime
Got me accused of children, and ain't nary one of them was mine
Bad luck, bad luck is killing me
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree

We've been together so long to have to separate this way (2x)
I'm gonna let you go ahead on now baby, pray that you'll come back home someday

But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here

I got the black cat bone and I got a mojo tooth
I got the John the Conquerer Root, gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls lead me by my hand
And then the world will know the hoochie coochie man.

But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here

On the seventh hour, on the seventh day
On the seventh month, seven doctors say
"He was born for good luck, that you'll see."
I got seven hundred dollars; don't you mess with me!

But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here

I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago
The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out

I went to the river to jump in
My baby showed up and said, "I will tell you when."
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found
I love you babe with all my heart and soul
Love like mine will never grow old
Love you in the morning and in the evening too
Every time you leave me I get mad with you

I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

I love you baby with all my might
Love like mine is out of sight
I'll lie for you if you want me to
I really don't believe that your love is true

I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found

I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found

Blues, blues won't let me take my rest (2x)
My mind is rambling like a wild geese out in the west

Well, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream
Yes, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream
I love that woman better than anyone I've ever seen

Blues, blues follow me all day long (2x)
Blues, blues won't you please leave me alone

I used to have plenty of money, the finest clothes in town
But bad luck and trouble overtaken me, bound to get me down
Please have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please

Keep on working now, child
Lord every morning

Well if I've been a bad boy, baby, I declare I'll change my ways
I don't want bad luck and trouble to follow me all my days
Please have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please

Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night
Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night
Well, you didn't come home till the sun was shining bright

I had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled
Had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled
Well, he's had a lotta women, gonna let my ham bones burn

Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done
Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done
Well, I give you my jewelry, he ain't give you none

And when you see two women, always running hand in hand
When you see two women, always running hand in hand
You can bet your bottom dollar, one got the other one's man

Lord, I'm going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair
I'm going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair
And if the blues overtake me, gonna rock away from here.

You love him more when you should love him less
I pick up behind him and take his mess
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too

He love another woman and I love you
But you love him and stick to him like glue
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too

Now you better leave him; he better put you down
Oh, I won't stand to see you pushed around
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too

Every day my clouds are grey
It takes you to roll all those clouds away
I said but someday, someday baby
After a while, you will be sorry

Trouble, trouble, trouble on my mind
Trouble, trouble, way down the line
I don't need, I don't need no sympathy
So babe, babe, don't you, don't you pity me

I may be blue, but I don't mind
Because I know way down the line
I said someday, someday baby
After a while, you will be sorry

Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile
Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile
You got so many men, I'm afraid you may get me killed

Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (No, don't get me killed, honey!)
Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (Oh man, leave that woman alone!)
When I was deep in love with you, little girl
you were just sweet as an apple on a tree

If my baby would only take me back again (2x)
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 (2x)
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 (2x)
Because I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me

I would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun (2x)
Than to think of some other man holding you in his arms

My heart gets so heavy, Lord I shakes down in my bones (2x)
I can't hurt a murderer, oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car
Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far
And I'm thinking' 'bout the love that you laid on my table

Wander 'round in the dark
I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park
Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to Mable

Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down
Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round
And you better pick yourself from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down, they bring the curtain down

Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle

Feel when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you're all I want to know
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free

I can walk down the street there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road my eyes don't see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free

I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
Though my mind wants to cry out loud

Dance floor is like the sea
Ceiling is the sky
You're the sun and as you shine on me
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free.

It's getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you my love
To give you my dawn surprise
I'll be with you darling soon
I'll be with you when the stars start falling

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love

I'm with you my love
The light's shining through on you
Yes, I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love

I'm with you my love
The light's shining through on you
Yes, I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me if you please."

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by

I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down

Strange brew, kills what's inside of you

She's a witch of trouble in electric blue
In her own mad mind, she's in love with you
With you
Now what ya gonna do
Strange brew, kills what 's inside of you

She's some kind of demon messing in the glue
If you don't watch out it'll stick to you
To you
What kind of fool are you
Strange brew, kills what 's inside of you

On a boat in the middle of a raging sea
She would make a scene for it all to be
Ignored
And wouldn't you be bored
Strange brew, kills what's inside of you

Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew
Strange brew, kills what 's inside of you

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away

In your heart I want to stay
It's all wrong, but it's all right
The way that you treat me baby
Once I was strong but I lost the fight
You won't find a better loser

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away

Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye
I'm sure we're gonna meet again
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away

I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I long to stay

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy (2x)

All around in my home town
they're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
for the killing of a deputy
for the life of a deputy
But I say

I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence
I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
for what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
he said, 'Kill it before it grows'
He said, 'Kill it before it grows'
But I say

I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence
I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence

Freedom came my way one day
and I started out of town
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
aiming to shoot me down
so I shot, I shot him down
But I say

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy (2x)

Reflexes got the better of me
and what is to be, must be
Every day the bucket goes to well
but one day the bottom wuill drop out
yes, one day the bottom will drop out
But I say

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy (2x)

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We're gonna stimulate some action
We're gonna get some satisfaction
We're gonna find out what it is all about

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
We're gonna give an exhibition
We're gonna find out what it is all about

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
We're gonna give an exhibition
We're gonna find out what it is all about

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (5x)

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see
Comin' for to carry me home
A band of angels comin' after me
Comin' for to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Just tell my friends that I'm a comin' too
Comin' for to carry me home

I'm sometimes up and sometimes down
Comin' for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home

There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me
I know you've got somewhere to go
But won't you make yourself at home
And stay with me
No don't you ever leave

Lay Down Sally
And rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to
Lay Down Sally
Don't need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

Sun ain't nearly on the rise
We've still got the moon and stars above
Underneath the velvet skies
Love is all that matters
Won't you stay with me
Don't you ever leave

Lay Down Sally
Rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to
Lay Down Sally
No need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

I long to see the morning light
The color in your face so dreamily
So don't you go and say goodbye
You can lay your worries down
And stay with me
Don't you ever leave

Lay Down Sally
Rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to
Lay Down Sally
There's no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

Lay Down Sally
Rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to
Lay Down Sally
There's no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door (4x)

Mama, take these guns away from me
I can't use them anymore
There's a long black cloud followin' me
I feel like I'm knockin' on heavens door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door (4x)

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knockin on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door (4x)

It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight

We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you

It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

I'm standin' at the crossroads
tryin' to read the signs
to tell me which way I should
go to find the answer
and all the time I know
let your love and let it grow.

Let it grow, let it grow,
let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun and in the snow
love is lovely, let it grow.

Lookin' for a reason
to check out on my mind.
It's so hard to find a
friend that I can count on.
There's nothin' left to show,
plant your love and let it grow.

Let it grow...

Time is gettin' shorter
and there's much for you to do,
only ask'n you will get what you are needin',
the rest is up to you.
Plant your love and let it grow.

Let it grow...

I don't care if you never come home
I don't mind if you just keep on
Rolling away on a distant sea
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me

You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give 'em a smile and they melt
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine

La la, la la la la la

I don't care what you do at night
Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights
I'm gonna leave you alone, I'll just let it be
I don't love you and you don't love me

I've got a problem, can you relate
I've got a woman calling love hate
We made a pvow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end

I tried to lvoe you for years upon years
You refused to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
And I still love you, just love me

I've got a problem, can you relate
I've got a woman calling love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end

La la, la la la la la

I tried to love you for years upon years
You refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
And I'd still love you if you just love me

I've got a problem, can you relate
I've got a woman calling love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end

La la, la la la la la

{Repeat bunches}

You've been told, so maybe it's time that you learned
You've been sold, maybe it's time that you earned

I can't stand it
You're fooling around, I can't stand it
You're running around, I can't stand it
You're fooling around with my heart

I'll explain; I feel like I'm being used
Make it plain, so you don't get confused

I can't stand it
You're fooling around, I can't stand it
You're running around, I can't stand it
You're fooling around with my heart

I can't stand it
You're fooling around, I can't stand it
You're running around, I can't stand it
You're fooling around with my heart

It's time, time for me to let you know
Ain't no crime, no crime to let your feelings show

I can't stand it
You're fooling around, I can't stand it
You're running around, I can't stand it
You're fooling around with my heart
