1. Jealous Man Play
Jealous Man
I walked into a barroom
A gun held in my hand
Out side there was a bad moon
I am a Jealous man

I looked into the corner
And saw you standin' there
Smilin' at another
His hands laced through your hair

You gave me kisses sweet as wine
Well I thought you were the one
But now your lovin' someone else
And so all I have left is a gun

I called your name in anger
You looked then turned away
This gun would be my answer
This gun would make you pay

The shot rang out like thunder
And you fell onto the floor
Someone cried out murder
As I ran out the door

You gave me kisses sweet as wine
Well I thought you were the one
But now your lovin' someone else
And so all I have left is a gun

I woke up in the back room
Of a dirty cheap motel
My days are spent with whiskey
My nights with muscatel

You gave me kisses sweet as wine
Well I thought you were the one
But now your lovin' someone else
And so all I have left
I said all I have left
I said all I have left
Is a gun
I got a gun
Lyrics
2. Night Train Play
Night Train
Night train comin' down the track 'bout half a mile from here
I see your smoke rise from your stack and watch it disappear
Night train comin' round the bend now where you been so long
You pull into my station lord then suddenly your gone

mmm Ridin' the night train
Gonna ride the whole night through
mmm Ridin' the night train
And together we can chase the blues ..... away

Night train rollin' down the line so powerful and free
Your rythym and you motion take my breath away from me
Night train movin' oh so fast about to lose control
Somehow got to make it last and satisfy my soul

mmm Ridin' the night train
Gonna ride the whole night through
mmm Ridin' the night train
And together we can chase the blues ..... away

Night train move from town to town it never stay to long
Ride it for a little while and leave before the dawn
Night train movin' on again deep into the night
Someone gonna climb on board and gonna do it right

mmm Ridin' the night train
Gonna ride the whole night through
mmm Ridin' the night train
And together we can chase the blues ..... away
Lyrics
3. Hoodoo Man Play
Hoodoo Man
I stand all alone in the street by your window
When no one else is around
I wait by my self in the dark and the sh adows
Barely makin' a sound

It seems I've been waiting hours and hours
The rain keeps pourin' on down
I hope that your home and not out with another
Messin' and a foolin' around

If you are I tell you what I'm gonna do
Gonna find me someone with mojo tools
Gonna make an offer that he can't refuse
Put his charms to work and cast a spell on you

And then I'll be there in the dark after midnight
Gently strokin' your hair
And we'll be as one as we dance in the moonlight
Oh but baby beware

Please baby please don't you be untrue
Or the hoodoo man will cast a spell on you
My pretty baby oh Lord please save me
If I catch you messin' around
If I catch you messin' around
I said no more foolin' around

I walk all alone through the streets of the city
Searchin' all over town
I slip through the cracks in the backs of the alleys
To places he might be found
Deep down inside I know he is waitin'
For me to come round
I know he is near cause my soul is fadin'
and he's pullin' me down

In his bag he carries John de Conquer Root
A mojo hadn and sweet love perfume
A black cat bone and some lodestone too
And for a small price he'll cast a spell for you

He waits all alone in the dark after midnight
For poor lost souls to come round
He gives them a charm or mix you a potion
To stop your baby foolin' around


Please baby please don't you be untrue
Or the hoodoo man will cast a spell on you
My pretty baby oh Lord please save me
If I catch you messin' around
If I catch you messin' around
I said no more foolin' around
Lyrics
4. Little Bit of Your Love Play
Little Bit of Your Love
I’ve been waiting
Waiting such a long time
Hoping and a praying for a little bit of your love
I’ve been searching
Hoping I could find you
Hoping and a praying for a little bit of your love

Ooh but you’ve been taking so long
Your taking your sweet time just to get here
Your running me around with those games that you play
Yes I’ve been waiting
Waiting such a long time
Dreaming and a hoping for a little bit of your love

I’ve been crying
Tear stains on my pillow
Hoping and crying for a little bit of your love
I’ve been lonely
Holding out for your touch
Hoping and a crying for a little bit of your love

Ooh but my mind is reeling
It’s thinking about the way you left me
Pain is so bad that I thought I’d drown in my tears
Yes I’ve been waiting
Waiting such a long time
Dreaming and a hoping for a little bit of your love

Ooh but you’ve been taking so long
Your taking your sweet time just to get here
Your running me around with those games that your play
Yes I’ve been waiting
Waiting such a long time
Dreaming and a hoping for a little bit of your love
Of your love love oh
Lyrics
5. Funny Sunny Day Play
Funny Sunny Day
It’s just another funny sunny day
I got this special feeling and I want to say
Now it can be a sunny day even a cold and cloudy rainy day
Just open up a little part a little corner of your heart and say oh ho

Lyrics
6. No Not Yet Play
No Not Yet
Lucius Aloysius P.C. Johnson Fredrick Jones
Stumbled out of his bed late this morn'
Stickin' of cheap whiskey mixed with extra strong cologne
Oh he tried to remember what he'd done

His head was filled with a fog hanging there
And a vision he soon would not forget
Of a beautiful ladyas she floated through the air
All she said was not yet
She's a high anxiety virgin

Lucius Aloysius P.C. Johnson Fredrick Jones
Stumbled out of his door half past noon
His shirt was torn an tattered oh his pants were hanging loose
And with untied laces in his shoes

He moved along like a puppet on a string
Like the devil had won him in a bet
On and in his mind only one sweet voice would ring
All it said was not yet
She's a high anxiety virgin

Lucius Aloysius P.C. Johnson Fredrick Jones
Stumbled up on the stairs close to two
To call upon no other then the sweet Velveeta Moon
Oh he hoped that she would not refuse

He brought her all the gold and diamonds she could wear
And you no she took what she could get
When he turned and asked for some lovin' she could spare
All she said was not yet
She's a high anxiety virgin

no not yet, not yet, no not yet, no not yet
Lyrics
7. Ruby Play
Ruby
It was early in the morning
It was early in the spring
All the trees were filled with blossoms
Raining down on everything
All the sky was filled with colors
Of the early morning dawn
And my heart was filled flowers
As I wrote for you this song
Wrote this song, wrote this song

Take me down won't you Ruby
Take me down won't you down
I have got the blues this morning
So I hope you are around
We can go down to the river
Where the wild waters flow
We can lay down in the flowers
As we watch our garden grow
Watch it grow, Watch it grow

Now I see you in the morning
Now I see y ou in the light
Oh your hair is softly glowing
And your face is shining bright
Then you gently try to tell me child
That soon you will be gone
Will you stay a little longer
If I sing for you a song
Sing a son Sing a song

Reflections of your face in the water
Visions of your life I can see
Ruby in your life I loved you like no other
Can't you see
Can't you see
Can't you see me, Can't you see
Ruby Pg 2

Now I fell you in the morning
I feel you deep inside
Like a wildfire burning me
A pain I just can't hide
Why did you have to leave me child
Why did you have to go
Across that bridge without me girl
You left me all alone
All alone, all alone

Take me down won't you Ruby
Take me down take me down
I have got the blues this morning
So I hope you are around
We can go down to the river
Where the waters deep and wide
We can cross that bridge together
And walk on the otherside
By your side, by your side
Lyrics
8. When The Levee Moans Play
When The Levee Moans
Times a comin' honey
Waters high
Rain keeps pourin' down from the dark sky baby
River's swollen and it won't be long
Til we kneel before this ragin' storm
And the levee moans
And the river roams
And the levee moans
And the river roams
Hear it moan

Times a wastin' honey
River's grown
The dogs are barkin'
And the birds have flown baby
Pain that's comin' honey
Must be borne
Lest we run before this ragin' storm
And the levee moans
And the river roams
And the levee moans
And the river roams
Hear it moan

Time for prayin' honey
Time to mourn
River's left your spirit raised and torn baby
Washed away with all those seeds you sown
Muddy water's come to claim its own
And the levee moans
And the river roams
And the levee moans
And the river roams
Hear it moan
Lyrics
9. Sweet Peggy Play
Sweet Peggy
Oh sweet Peggy, now come down and turn me on
Oh now sweet Peggy can nothing go wrong
Come on sweet Peggy don’t play so cheap with me
I’m alone and tired and could use the company

Oh sweet Peggy now come down and turn me on
Oh now sweet Peggy can nothing go wrong
Come on now Peggy don’t play that game with me
I can do it just this once I’ll walk away you’ll see

Come on now Peggy don’t play that game with me
I’m alone and hurting could use the company
Come on now darling got one chance to get it right
To start all over and fly through the night

Come on now Peggy don’t play that game with me
I’m alone and hurting could use the company
Come on now darling got one chance to get it right
To start all over and stay with me tonight

Oh sweet Peggy as she put it in her vein
Freeing all the calmness as it rushes through her brain
Oh sweet Peggy did she die all alone
Knowing where you where and with whom you brought home

Oh sweet Peggy the last thing through her brain
She traded it all for love
Some would call insane
Lyrics
10. Break These Chains Play
Break These Chains
If I told you we were free would you believe me
I know this love inside it won't decieve me
I feel it there but the words keep getting in the way

If I told you I had hope deep down inside me
That some day together we could walk free
Please take my hand Don't let it slip away

You know that we are stronger undivided
Be proud of who you are try not to hide it
Break these chains cause they're only getting in the way

I sing of peace not so far away
I sing for joy I know it can be made
I sing for tomorrow not just another day
Oh listen to what I say

You know that we are stronger undivided
Be proud of who you are try not to hide it
Now break these chains cause they're only getting in the
Break these chains cause they're only getting in the
Break these chains cause they're only getting in the way
Lyrics
11. Broadway Marquee Play
Broadway Marquee
You’ve got to go where the lights are a shining
You’ve got to go where your name can be seen
You are the cream of the crop and when you rise to the top
They’ll put your name on a broadway marquee

You’ve got to walk through the streets of the city
You’ve got to sing dance or just make a scene
And if they really like your stuff
And you give them enough
They’ll put your name on a broadway marquee

You think you got what it takes to be a big star
With your name up in lights for all to see
Someday they’ll know just who you are
And your name will go down in history

You’ve got to ride through the streets of the city
In your own private stretch limousine
Oh your price will be steep at the top of the heap
When your names on a broadway marquee

You think you got what it takes to be a big star
With your name up in lights for all to see
Some day they’ll know just who you are
And your name will go down in history

We’ve got to ride through the streets of the city
In our own private stretch limousine
Our price will be steep at the top of the heap
Oh with our names on a broadway marquee
With our names on a broadway marquee
Lyrics
