Fake Fur Coat Blues
Mama won't you buy me a fake fur coat so I can boogie in it all night long?
mama won't you get me a tailor made lover I can write me up a holy song?

She sleeps up in the desert with me and she lives with a copper snake
She sleeps up in the desert with me and she lives with a copper snake
she's got loving to give my blues
she's got the fever karma get me news
she's loving up a man in a fake fur coat to boogie with him all night long

What Good Is A Heart Without Love?
I can't get a lift I guess I better run
What good is a heart without love?
Those who ignore us never seem to go away
What good is a heart without love?
I must be in love with the pain
Now Baby I'm lost without a train
Broken heart running wherever these dreams are bound
But It's time to pick up the pace
because these are the good old day
with sunshine around your brain as you dance around
I tried the churches tried the bars
but true life is on the road
What good is a heart without love?
But we've come a long long way
why must we have such a long way to go?
What good is a heart without love?
Now I can make things happen but I'm stranded on this ice
singing in my memory laughing at the wildness of dice
my memories can't be trusted as long as they're made in central time
wash my spirit clean under the western sun
What good is a heart without love?
I tried the churches tried the bars
but true life is on the road
What good is a heart without love?
But we've come a long long way
why must we have such a long way to go?
What good is a heart without love?
What good is a heart without love?
What good is a heart without love?

Too Busy Drinking
I'm too busy drinking to be thinking about my baby doll
I'm too busy drinking to be thinking about my baby doll
The more I get to drinking the less I want to think at all
She's got power over me more than anybody can see
She's got power over me more than anybody can see
that's why I'm out here drinking so people can see what's come of me
I'm too busy drinking to be thinking about my baby doll
I'm too busy drinking to be thinking about my baby doll
The more I get to drinking the less I want to think at all
I had a roving eye for long been guilty of loving more than one
I had a roving eye for long been guilty of loving more than one
somebody poke my eye out sometime I got my blues on the run
Well I'm old and haggard but baby I'm far from done
well I'm old and haggard but baby I'm far from done
But since I been here drinking this barstool just ain't no fun.
I'm too busy drinking to be thinking about my baby doll
I'm too busy drinking to be thinking about my baby doll
The more I get to drinking the less I want to think at all.
I'm the gentle Gigilo jiggle parts wherever I go
I'm a gentle Gigilo jiggle parts wherever I go
some flirts call me humble because I got parts I don't even know
I'm too busy drinking to be thinking about my baby doll
I'm too busy drinking to be thinking about my baby doll
The more I get to drinking the less I want to think at all.

Time Is Slipping Away Blues
You know I want you
don't make me ask again
You know I want you baby
don't make me ask again
I just have my fun
because the time is slipping away
Well some may wonder
baby so do I
some may wonder baby so do I
how many blues can a man take before he's gonna die
Well now Loving keeps you living
living keeps you loved
money keeps you funny
pain keeps you numb
You know I want you
don't make me ask again
I just have my fun
because the time is slipping away
I was dancing alone
that makes me your fool
Well I dance alone
does that make me your fool?
sorry for living baby I just ain't waiting on you
You know I want you
don't make me ask again
You know I want you baby

Drinking Blues
Well she told me she'd love me all the time
and now she wants to see her boyfriend too
Well she told me she'd love me all the time
and now she wants to see her boyfriend too
I say he's on the other side
loving nothing she done do
So I get down to drinking and a sad man don't ever win
so I get down to drinking and a sad man don't ever win
I can't tell if I'm drowning or if I'm teaching my sorrows how to swim
How about Mr. Morrison?
never seen old Van smile
What about mr. Morrison?
Ain't never seen old Van smile
He'd be my drinking buddy
if I made a telephone of my radio dial
I said a prayer
"send a killer to her boyfriends home"
I said a prayer
"send a killer to a boyfriends house"
when the blues they got you
and your woman got someone else
Yonder comes Maria
she's bound to teach me how to swim
yonder comes Maria
she's bound to teach me how to swim
since I got down to drinking
stone cold heart got me drowning.

Bad Blood Blues
Whatever happened to hello?
I see you there in your chair
you look my way look away
and you'll still like I'm not there
Nice not knowing you
You've got the bad blood blues
Why not say what's on your mind
you might realize I'm kind
for something I say or I do
you're too cool to talk this through
Nice not knowing you
you've got the bad blood blues
Some say that bad blues is bad 'cause it makes you hungry for air
I say the bad blood blues ain't bad 'cause it's plain to see
who the hell don't care
Well I'm tired of being fired from the scenes I sure don't need
as I'm walking you keep talking but it's your mouth looking bad not me
nice not knowing you
you've got the bad blood blues.
I'm gonna sit with you all a bit
and watch the hell on your neck
feel the vibes one more time
then I'll be flying
no goodby'in
Nice not knowing you
you've got the bad blood blues
Nice not knowing you
you've got the bad blood blues
Nice not knowing you
you've got the bad blood blues

I'm singing my song I'm gonna sing 'til I ain't poor no more

but I'm gonna sing 'til my voice get too sore.
Guy in my hotel says I ain't got no rent
Guy in my hotel says I ain't got no rent
I say "landlord I'm sorry - I ain't got a cent"
Train tracks are burning and the mid day sun shining in the sky
Train tracks are burning and the mid day sun shining in the sky
Well those tracks won't be a burning
when that coal train comes to take me tonight
I gotta get me a couple dollars to ride me that train to Missouri
I gotta get me a couple dollars to ride me that train to Missouri
I'll stand here and holler my blues 'til I get enough to leave.
Guitars just a humming
nickel and dime nickel and dime
Guitar just a humming
nickel and dime nickel and dime
I maybe broke and hungry but my stomping foot keeps good time
I'm singing my song I'm gonna sing 'til I ain't poor no more

It's gonna take a lot of singing

Leaving The Same Way I Came
I'm not going for your big rite of passage
Just want to carry on with my day
I'm not going for your big rite of passage
Just want to carry on with my day
You invite me to your gathering
I'm leaving the same way I came
Money must flow around here
so when will it flow my way?
Money must flow around here
so when will it flow my way?
I put out the vibrations
if it all works out I will stay
I don't play no Kirtan music
so don't vibe me like I'm wrong
I don't play no Kirtan music
so don't vibe me like I'm wrong
If you open up your minds
I'll still sing you all a song
You're all nice and all
but my life force is on the line
You're all nice and all
but my life force is on the line
So get me now where I can belong
and not waste more of my precious time
I'm not going for your big rite of passage
Just want to carry on with my day
I'm not going for your big rite of passage
Just want to carry on with my day
You invite me to your gathering

Poor little girl all lonely and blue
Poor little girl all lonely and blue
so we spoke for a while about everything else we've been through
When I asked her out

I think that was a yes
but it don't matter anyhow

left me on the outskirts of town
Well she's a dumptrucker
she will dump you on the road

Now she's honky tonking elsewhere
and I got nothing to lose

Boys at the table

Date With The Devil Blues
I got a date with the devil
and you know she's on my mind
Vibrations of the devil
Lord knows she's on my mind
I got heaven in my heartache
and hell it's hard to unwind
Yeah won't you get me some wheels
get me some wheels down a stormy road?
Rain on my conga baby
and I've got a heavy load.
The steel rain shivers me
plays the Mexican blues on the piano grass
and I've gotta get back home.
Still sometimes I wonder
if a lover is a book or a look
Sometimes I wonder
if a lover is a book or a look
she's got a mind of a child
but she's still worth another look
I got a date with the devil
and you know she's on my mind
I got the vibrations of a devil
and you know that she's on my mind
I got heaven in my heartache
and hell it's hard to unwind.

When I was a little boy

My family had no money
had to make up my blues alone
Well tomorrow coming
I say they all better step aside
well tomorrow's coming
so won't you boys step aside
with my blues belt outside the doorway
you better run and hide
I'm a bluesman and I ain't got no home
I'm a bluesman and I ain't got no home
Well I'm out there on the road
where the other bluesmen roam

I gotta find me a good woman before the sun going down
I gotta look at her in the morning
I gotta like what I found
She's gotta save all her money so I don't spend a dime

Gypsy Lady Blues
You need a chaser you're too bitter on your own
shedding a few layers even though it's far too cold
you're someone I admire me before the heart you stole
Gypsy lady please have mercy on my soul
Gypsy lady please have mercy on my soul
Enough time has healed since the bastards have left town
if hell had a hatch we'd send a full gasoline can down
worrying don't take your troubles it just takes your peace of mind
I can't wait to leave all this uncertainty behind
well Gypsy lady please have mercy on my soul
It's safe to say I have hope but not much faith
Well be beyond probation until we know that we're safe
a little sunshine in my heart to light the gaping hole
Gypsy lady please have mercy on my soul
You need a chaser you're too bitter on your own
shedding a few layers even though it's far too cold
you're someone I admire me before the heart you stole
Gypsy lady please have mercy on my soul
Gypsy lady please have mercy on my soul

I Want A Damn Good Woman Blues
I got my eye on a baby but I know a baby just won't do
I got my eye on a baby but I know a baby just won't do
She's got to be a woman and a damn good woman too
I keep looking through crowds talking to anyone I meet
I kept looking the crowds looking through everyone I meet
Woman sure won't find me so I've always gotta be on my feet
She's brown eyed and pretty but I know she just won't do
She's brown eyed and pretty but I know she just won't do
She's gotta be a woman and a damn good woman too.

with an arrow full of love
and you watch me

I may be a saint
but a true one I ain't
and I'll follow tomorrow
yesterday will not
stop me.

Lonely Man's Blues
I come from a lonely background I used to talk to a wall
sitting down in New Orleans, Louisiana
gotta give the band a call
we're gonna play the blues all night
we're gonna have ourselves a ball
When you live down here
they play the blues when it rains
some fellow dudes might
like to play out in the sugar cane
in blues you feel the feel
but you feel no pain
I used to be curious
why would my happiness fall?
and then I'd get all faithful
I'd give the sky a call
you know there was no need to worry
no need to worry at all

Make me a man who can be there all night long
make me a man who can be there all night long

On The Roadside
My mama left me stranded far away on the roadside
told me to use this money spend it well and spend it right
don't do like your papa baby don't do just like he done me
I met my papa once he was never close to home
he was traveling on the roadside
heard him slur and then he spoke
"when there ain't no place to hide, son, that's when
you know you're not alone"
Well that was many years ago I traveled hard wore down my shoes
I was crying on the roadside ran out of money couldn't pay my dues
My mama's words have haunted me
"don't you get mixed up in the booze"
my mama's words have haunted me
"drink like him you gonna lose"

Craigslist Blues
When we hit hard times my baby she hit the town
When we hit hard times my baby hit the town
she had craigslist hopping she met all the boys lying down
She didn't wait long didn't take but two or three days
She didn't wait long didn't take but two or three days
She was too busy to talk
she'll have to someday change her ways
And I'm guilty of peeking but I'm awful glad I spied
And I'm guilty of peeking but I'm awful glad that I spied
While she was retreating in fact she'd solid booked her good times
She won't have me dangling on her fool strings no more
She won't have me dangling on her fool strings no more
'Cause I got too wise daddy ain't got no time for no lying whore
Maybe I'll miss the side she showed to me
Maybe I'll miss the side she showed to me
but If you gotta be evil I'll let you be alone
and be all you can be
Nobody gets away with lying to me for too long
Nobody gets away with lying to me for too long
She'll never hear from me again unless I'm singing
how bad she'd done me wrong
When we hit hard times my baby she hit the town
When we hit hard times my baby hit the town
she had craigslist hopping she met all the boys lying down

She said she’s having my baby
and she ain’t my baby no more
She said she’s having my baby
well she ain’t my baby anymore
I’m not certain it’s my baby
because my baby was a whore
If I sold all I owned I would still be in the hole
If I sold all I owned I’d still be in the hole
well if she has my baby
she best be getting on the dole
yeah she’s out there drinking cussing
she’s roughhousing all night long
and if she’s having my baby
something with the baby bound to go wrong
She said she’s having my baby
and she ain’t my baby anymore
I’m not certain it’s my baby
because my baby is a whore
My baby she racked up all kinds of lies
My baby she racked up all kinds of lies
she sent me a baby message
half a month after we said our goodbyes
I got the secret paternity blues
and I wasn’t born of sin
I got the secret paternity blues
and I wasn’t born of sin
I’ll vomit in a bucket if I ever do see her again

I'm not dragging some tug boat out to sea

I'm tired of dragging on
pulling this heavy load
cause your ways are dragging me down
your loving never showed
I got a piece of paper
ain't had a smoke all day
gonna wipe my ass to tell you
I ain't got nothing to say
I ain't got no money
got no time to lay
everybody thinks that I'm nobody's lucky day
I'm tired of dragging this tug boat out to sea
you say you love me but I'm going my way
goodbye baby goodbye thanks for the ride
i got the rope baby you're gone

Devil's Best Friend
Well my shadows as nameless as the street I'm down
My shadows as nameless as the street I'm down
the secret is surviving two nights on the town
Mistress she can call me from her bedroom until she cries
mistress she can call me from her bedroom until she cries
the tree is dark and fallen and there ain't no axe to grind
Papa said loneliness is the devil's best friend
papa said loneliness is the devil's best friend
hello devil only travels where my old man went
well I've mingled with dismay
life's a bitch I know her well
I've mingled with dismay
life's a bitch I know her well
she takes away my days
and makes me suffer oh so well.

Walk On Me
Well I saw my ex love yesterday morning
but you should have seen her last night
well I saw she lost her conscience and told her guilt to take a ride
she's been telling everybody that her man is good as gone
I say she's got the whole world laughing but she just about made me cry
I say she's got the whole world laughing but she just about made me cry
I guess everyone was kidding of me
I guess they were looking for a fight
Well now if some people wanna walk all over my I have to shine their shoes for them
because they've got their girl by their side I'm gonna have to shine their shoes
because they have their girl by their side it seems that I've got the right to lose.
