- Beer Drinking Woman
The story's true ladies and gentlemen.
All the names have been changed to
Protect the innocent.
The year 19 hundred and forty.
The city, Chicago. The place, Rubin's Tavern
The story goes something like this:
- Guess I'm A Fool
You told me you were leavin'
After all that we've been through
Guess I'm a fool falling in love with you
There ain't no sense of grievin', -
do what you want to do
Guess I'm a fool falling in love with you
You told me that the kind of love you had
- Lend Me Your Love
Now lend me your love, little girl, please lend me your love
Lend me your love, baby, please lend me your love
I know you hear me keep moanin', moanin' just like Noah's dove
You got a mortgage on my love, girl, there really is no doubt
You got a mortgage on my love, girl, there really is no doggone doubt
But someday I be lucky enough to find another woman,
Gonna buy your love mortgage out
- Mother Earth
You may not have me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother earth is laying for you
Cuz of all the debts you got to pay
Don't care how great you are
Don't care what you worth
When it all ends up you got to
- Old Taylor
Now I love to sing that good old Taylor blues
I love to sing that good old Taylor blues
When we want a little drink
I swear we just can't lose
Now you see, Mr. Melrose, standin' in the floor
Oh, I see that man that's standin' in the floor
He gonna give us a little drink
- One Man's Mad
I've got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here, runnin'
Because walkin' is most too slow
I'm going back to the border
Where I'm better known
'Cause you haven't done nothin'
- Steppin' Out
You go where you want
You do what you please
Never let on, that even once
That you've ever been lonely
It's nice to see you alone
Are you lookin' for somethin'
Maybe you ain't gettin' at home?
- The Jive Blues
My room was empty, and my woman was gone
My room was empty, and my woman was gone
I didn't have a nickel, and all my clothes in pawn
I asked my next door neighbor, which-a-way did my baby go?
Asked my next door neighbor, which-a-way did my baby go?
She says she left for the border, down in old Mexico
I found a note on the floor, it almost sent me off in a trance
I found a note on the floor, it almost sent me off in a trance
