Black hearted woman, can't you see your poor man dyin'.
Can't count on both hands, babe, all the lonely nights i've been
cryin'.
Well i'm tired of all your slippery ways, i can't take your evil
lyin'.
Oh, no.
Black hearted woman, cheap trouble and pain is all you play.
Black hearted woman, cheap trouble and pain is all you play.
Some time thinking i'll be much better, if i was stiff down in
my grave.
No, i just can't stay.
Yesterday i was your man, now you don't know my name.
Yesterday i was your man, now you don't know my name.
Well i'm going out to find a new way babe, oh, to get back into
your
Game.
Yeah, yeah.
One of these days, i'm gonna catch you with your back door man.
One of these days, yeah, i'm gonna catch you with your back door
man.
I'll be moving on down the road pretty baby, oh, to start all
over
Again.
Oh, yeah.


2.Don't Keep Me Wonderin'

(c) 1970 & 1974 by no exit music co. inc.

Oh, tell me 'bout the car i saw,
Parked outside your door,
Tell me what you left me waiting,
Two or three hours for.
Tell me why when the phone rings baby,
You're up and across the floor,
Please don't keep me wonderin' no longer.
I think about the bad times,
Lord i think about yours and mine,
You were lost in the silver spoon,
Thought i pulled you out in time.
And i hope that you got reasons,
For the way that you've been lyin',
Please don't keep me wonderin' no longer.
I think i'm gonna go now,
But you know that i'll be back.
Now you can think it over baby,
Tell me how you're gonna act.
I'm gonna keep on holding on,
But i don't get no stronger,
Please don't keep me wonderin' no longer.

Just one more mornin'
I had to wake up with the blues
Pulled myself outta bed, yeah
Put on my walkin' shoes,
Went up on the mountain,
To see what i could see,
The whole world was fallin',
Right down in front of me.

'cause i'm hung up on dreams i'll never see, yeah baby.
Ahh help me baby, or this will surely be the end of me, yeah.

Pull myself together, put on a new face,
Climb down off the hilltop, baby,
Get back in the race.


Pull myself together, put on a new face,
Climb down off the hilltop, baby,
Get back in the race.

6.Hoochie Coochie Man

Copyright 1967 (renewed) hoochie coochie music (bmi)

Gypsy woman told my mama
'while 'fore i was born.
Got a boy child comin' mama,
He'll be a bad one, now.
I'll make all you little girls,
Turn your heads around.
Then i'm gonna take you little girls,
Gonna take you right on down... with me yeah
Ho, you just wait and see.
I'll be your hoochie coochie man,
I'll set you free.
On the seventh hour of the seventh day
On the seventh month, seven doctors they say.
I've got lots of good luck, you know they all agree.
But now if ya, if you're lookin' for trouble babe,
You better not mess with me.
Hey, 'cause you know i'll getcha one by one.
Ain't no fun.
I'm that old hoochie coochie man,
A bad son of a gun.
Got a john the conqueroot and got some mojo too,
We got a black cat born, we're gonna slip it to you.
Hey, move over people just as fast as you can.
Said i know you're waitin' for me 'cause i'm the hoochie coochie
man.
I'm gonna get you, one by one.
I got set on that old hoochie coochie man
And i'm yo' son of a gun.
Now the gypsy woman told mama, oh 'while 'fore i was born,
She said you know he's comin' mama, he'll be a bad, very bad
one.
Make all the ladies, turn their heads around.
You said, i can just see all those women, chasin' him all down.
I'm your hoochie coochie man, everybody knows it.


7.In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed


8.It's Not My Cross To Bear

About our bad, bad misfortune and i ain't here a wond'rin' why.
But i'll live on and i'll be strong
'cause it just ain't my cross to bear.

I sat down and wrote you a long letter, it was just the other
day.
Said, sure as the sunrise, baby, tomorrow i'll be up and on my
way.
But i'll live on and i'll be strong
'cause it just ain't my cross to bear.

But in the end, baby, long towards the end of your road,
Don't reach out for me, babe, 'cause i'm not gonna carry your
load.
But i'll live on and i'll be strong
'cause it just ain't my cross to bear.


9.Leave My Blues At Home

Copyright 1970 unichappell inc. and elijah blue music (bmi)
I been trapped inside four walls, feel like i can't call to no
one
Ah, way out on the outside.
Well livin' alone is easy, but too long just don't seem really
Quite the thing to do, no.
Think i'll drink up a little more wine, to ease my worried mind.
And walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. all
behind.
The landlord is on my line, i can't get no peace of mind.
But i know there's something better.
I can't stay and i can't run, can't keep waitin' for someone
To find and go roll.
Well i'll gather up all my four leaf clovers.
Don't leave, i'm on my way over.
A walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. all
behind.
And i feel i have to scream
Whenever i get the notion.
And though i try so hard,
I can't hold back my emotions.
But i... love you, but i can't have ya. won't you sit by my
side.
You don't work, the man don't pay ya.
There ain't no saint to come and save ya, oh, puttin' your toll
down.
Well, if you ride you pay the fare... with satan on your back.
And he don't care where you come from or where you goin'.\
And before i get myself all down, i jump up and kick the door
down.
And walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. all
behind.


10.Midnight Rider

And i'm bound to keep on riding.
And i've got one more silver dollar,
But i'm not gonna let them catch me, no,
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

And i don't own the clothes i'm wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And i've got one more silver dollar,
But i'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

And i've gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed i'll soon be sharing,
And i've got one more silver dollar,

Repeat three times and fade
But i'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider.


11.Please Call Home

Copyright 1970 unichappell inc. and elijah blue music (bmi)
Take one last look... before you leave,
'cause oh, somehow it means so much to me.
And if you ever need me, you know where i'll be.
So please call home... if you change your mind.
Oh, i don't mind.
I guess i saw it comin'... day by day.
But oh, i could not stand the failure.
Before you leave, there's just one thing i must say.
Please call home... if you change your mind.
Oh, i don't mind.
And i know, that you're used to runnin'.
Oh you're lost baby, and i ain't funnin'.
But oh, when you call to me, well, i'll come runnin'
Safe to your side... again i'll confide... in you.
So go on, i won't say no more.
My heart ain't in it, but i'll hold the door.
But just remember, what i said before.
Please call home... if you change your mind.

13.Trouble No More

Copyright 1955 (renewed 1983) watertoons music (bmi)
Don't care how long you go,
I don't care how long you stay,
It's good kind treatment,
Bring you home someday.
Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore.
Now you keep on bettin',
That the dice won't pass.
Well i know, and i know,
Whoa, oh you're livin' too fast.
Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore.
Yeah, i'll tell everybody,
In my neighborhood.
You're a kind little woman,
But you don't do me no good.
But someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore.
I know you're leaving,
If you call that's gone.
Oh without my lovin' yeah,
Oh, you can't stay long.
Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore.
Well good bye baby,
Yeah well take my hand.
I don't want no woman no,
Who can't have no man.
But someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble,
Poor me, anymore. trouble no more.
Oh yeah... yeah babe.


14.Whipping Post

I don't know why i let that mean woman make me a fool.
She took all my money, wrecked my new car.
Now she's with one of my goodtime buddies,
They're drinkin' in some crosstown bar.

Sometimes i feel, sometimes i feel,
Like i been tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, i feel like i'm dyin'.

My friends tell me, that i've been such a fool,
And i have to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin' you.
Drown myself in sorrow, and i look at what you've down.
But nothin' seems to change, the bad times stay the same,
And i can't run.

Sometimes i feel, sometimes i feel,
Like i been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, i feel like i'm dyin'.

Sometimes i feel, sometimes i feel,
Like i been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, i feel like i'm dyin'.
