I'm alone because I love you
I love you with all my heart
I'm alone because I need to be true
I'm sorry I can't say the same thing about you
When your gone, out comes the rain
til you get back in town I won't be happy again
I'm alone because I love you
I love you with all my heart
Yesterday's kisses are bringing me pain
Yesterday's sunshine has turned into rain
I'm alone because I love you
I love you with all my heart
I love you with all my heart

Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't got no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
I ain't got a dream that's working
I ain't got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare up I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me pappy, I can't get happy
Since my ever loving baby left town
I ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings left to bruise
I ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues
I ain't got no rest in my slumber
I ain't got no feelings left to bruise
I ain't got no telephone numbers
cuz I aint got nothing but the blues
Aint got no east
no west
no good
no best
I ain't got no man to choose
I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing but the blues

When it rain 5 days and the sky turned black as night
When it rained 5 days and the sky turned black as night
Trouble's going on in the low lands late at night
I woke up this morning and I can't get out get out my door
I woke up this morning I can't get out my door
There ain't no place for this poor old girl to go

Do For Myself

I guess I'll do for myself if it's gonna get done
But I just want a man to love me
Well it's a cry for love, in the morning it's done
I just want a man to love me
In a battle with a man, the road's always won
They always throw their cards down 'fore the dealing gets done
Guess I'll do for myself, and hope someday he'll come
Be the man that's gonna love me
I guess I'll do for myself, if it's gonna get done
But I just want a man to love me
Well it's a cry for love, in the morning it's done
I just want a man to love me
In a battle with a man, the road's always won
They always throw their cards down 'fore the dealing gets done
Guess I'll do for myself
or he'll never come
Be the man, that's gonna love me

Slowburn, it lights up my heart
Each longing day we're apart I dream in the night you're by my side
Slowburn to never grow cold
This passion takes hold and I'm left with the promise of virtues untold
This mood in me, I long for divinity
I hold your sweet face with indelible grace
In memory
Slowburn, My dream in the night
How it quickly takes flight and I'm left with a shadow of love that feels right
oh Slowburn, it lights up my heart
Each longing day we're apart I dream in the night you're by my side
Slowburn, to never grow cold
This passion takes hold and I'm left with a promise of virtues untold
This mood in me
I long for divinity
I hold your sweet face with indelible grace, in memory
Slowburn, my dream in the night
How it quickly takes flight and I'm left with a shadow of love that feels right

Lucky Devil

I'd Like to be that Lucky Devil that gets to burn with you
I'd learn to live on that lower level
with a big box fan or two
I'm no angel, my wing's been clipped
I've traded my halo for horns and a whip
I'd like to be that Lucky Devil
That gets to burn with you, that's true, I'd like to burn with you

You made me think you cared for me
and I believed in you
You told me things you never meant
and made me think them true
I gambled in the game of life
I played my heart and lost
I'm now a wreck upon life's sea
Alone I pay the cost
You made me what I am today
I hope you're satisfied
You dragged me down and down until all the hope within me died
You shattered each and every dream
You fooled me from the start
And though you're not true
I still love you
That's the curse of an aching heart
You made me what I am today
I hope you're satisfied
You dragged me down and down until all the soul within me died
You shattered each and every dream
You fooled me from the start
And though you're untrue may god bless you
That's the curse of an aching heart

Sweet substitute baby, sweet substitute lord lord

He's got such lovin ways
Got my head in a daze
My new recruit, he's mighty sweet and cute
I'm crazy bout my substitute
don't want no reglars
Crazy bout my substitute

Gimme a Pigfoot

Up in Harlem on a saturday night
when all the highbrows get together it's so right
They all hang out at an all night strut
and what they do is bop de bop
Old Hannah Brown from way cross town gets full of corn liquor
Starts breakin em down
and at the break of day
You can hear old Hannah say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me gate cuz I don't care
I feel like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink cuz he's brining me down
He's got a rhythm when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and all your guns
Do the shim sham shimmy til the morning comes
Give me reefer and a gang of gin
Don't blame me cuz I'm full of gin, you can't blame me
Don't blame me cuz I'm in my sin
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me gate cuz I don't care
I feel like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink cuz he's brining me down
He's got a rhythm when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and all your guns
Do the shim sham shimmy til the morning comes
Give me reefer and a gang of gin
Don't blame me cuz I'm full of gin, you can't blame me
Don't blame me cuz I'm in my sin

Joseph, Joseph

Joseph won't you make your mind up
It's time I knew where I stood with you
My heart's no clock but it can't help but wind up
Each time we make up after being through
Listen Joseph, now time is fleeting
Here and there my hair is turning grey
My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear
So Joseph won't you name that day
Joseph won't you make your mind up
It's time I knew where I stood with you
My heart's no clock but it can't help but wind up
Each time we make up after being through
Listen Joseph, now time is fleeting
Here and there my hair is turning grey
My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear
So Joseph won't you name that day
