Eric Clapton Riding With The King[With B B Lyrics
1.Riding With The King

Lyrics:John Hiatt
Music:John Hiatt

I dreamed I had a good job and I got well paid.
I blew it all at the penny arcade.
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll.
No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl.

Get on a TWA to the promised land.
Every woman, child and man
Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring.
Don't you know you're riding with the king?

He's on a mission of mercy to the new frontier,
He's gonna check us all on out of here.
Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled.

Get on a TWA to the promised land.
Everybody clap your hands.
And don't you just love the way that he sings?
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Riding with the king.
Don't you know we're riding with the king?

A tuxedo and shiny 335.
You can see it in his face, the blue never lie.
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings.
And don't you know we're riding with the king?

I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old
With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold.
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die.

Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Riding, you're riding with the king.
You're riding, you're riding with the king.


2.Ten Long Years

Written:Riley B.King/Jules Bihari

Well, I had a woman,
She was nice, kind and loving to me in every way.
Oh, I had a woman,
She was kind and loving to me in every way.
Oh, she used to love me
And bring my breakfast to the bed every day.

Oh, for ten long years,
She was my pride and joy.
Oh, for ten long years,
She was my pride and joy.
I used to call her my little girl.
Oh, she used to call me, she used to call me her little boy.

Oh, it's all over baby.
You know I'm all alone.
It's all over baby.
Babe you know I'm all alone.
Well, the reason you hear me singing the blues, baby,
Yeah, you know my baby's gone, she's gone, she's gone.


3.Key To The Highway

Written:Charles Segar/Willie Broonzy

I got the key to the highway,
Billed out and bound to go.
I'm gonna leave here running;
Walking is most too slow.

I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known.
You know you haven't done nothing,
Drove a good man away from home.

Live Verse:When the moon peeks over the mountains
I'll be on my way.
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day.

Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go,
'Cause when I leave this time you know I,
I won't be back no more.

4.Marry You

It's the sugar so sweet
The kind I like to eat
You and me
Tell no one else about it

I'm gonna make you mine
Cause I know we've got the time
Now and then baby
Hey I want you to know

I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too

Come on in the back of my '57
Let me show you the way
Way to heaven
You're looking so sweet, yes you are
I'll make sure that you got some heat

I've got you on my mind
You know you've got my time
Now and then baby
I want you to know

I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too

I'm falling in love with you
I'm in love with you
You make all my dreams come true
Make all my dreams come true
Falling in love with you
I wanna marry you

I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too


5.Three O'Clock Blues

Well now it's three o'clock in the morning
And I can't even close my eyes
Three o'clock in the morning baby
And I can't even close my eyes
Can't find my baby
And I can't be satisfied

I've looked around me
And my baby she can't be found
I've looked all around me, people
And my baby she can't be found
You know if I don't find my baby
I'm going down to the Golden Ground
That's where the men hang out

Goodbye, everybody
I believe this is the end
Oh goodbye everybody
I believe this is the end
I want you to tell my baby
Tell her please please forgive me
Forgive me for my sins


6.Help The Poor

Lyrics:Charles Singleton
Music:Charles Singleton

Help the poor,
Won't you help poor me?
I need help from you, baby,
Need it desperately.
I need you so much, I need your care,
Need all the loving, baby, you can spare.
Help the poor,
Oh baby, won't you help poor me?

Say you will,
Say you'll help me on.
I can't make it no longer
In this world alone.
Baby, I'm begging with tears in my eyes
For your love, don't you realize
I need help.
Oh baby, help poor me.

You are my inspiration,
Baby, that make me be a king,
But if you don't come to my rescue,
I couldn't ever be anything.

Help the poor,
Won't you help poor me?
Have a heart, won't you baby?
Listen to my plea.
Oh, I lost my courage till I found you.
You've got what it takes, baby, to pull me through.
Help the poor,
Oh baby, won't you help poor me?

Chorus

Third Verse


7.I Wanna Be

I wonder helplessly day by day
It's so much easier to run away
My mind is telling my body so
Never know which way to go

I'm always there for you baby
You let me see
If we can get closer everyday

I wanna be
Held by you
I wanna be
Touched by you
I wanna be
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be
Anything you want me to

Don't mean nothing when you're growing old
Nobody knows what the future holds
I am left with a bitter taste
Turn away from that beautiful chase

I'm always there for you baby
You let me see
If we can get closer everyday

I wanna be
Held by you
I wanna be
Touched by you
I wanna be
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be
Anything you want me to


8.Worried Life Blues

Lyrics:Maceo Merryweather
Music:Maceo Merryweather

Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
But someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

You're on my mind every place I go.
How much I love you, nobody know.
Yeah, someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So many days since you went away.
I've had to worry both night and day.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So many nights since you've been gone.
I've been worried, grieving my life alone.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So that's my story and this is all I've got to say to you:
Bye bye, baby, I don't care what you do.
'Cause someday darling,
I won't have to worry my life any more.

Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
Oh, but someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.


9.Days Of Old

Way back yonder in the days of old
The men was workin' but not savin' any dough
Then came a woman lookin' real cool
She said to herself 'Now, that's my fool'
I'm gonna ball tonight
I'm gonna ball tonight
Well you can't break the rule becauses every man is some woman's
fool

Met a girl on the avenue
She was shy and I was blue
Like a teacher and a student in the school
Looked at me and said 'You're my fool'
Gonna ball tonight
We're gonna ball tonight
Man I can't break a rule cause every man is some woman's fool

Way back yonder in the days of old
The men was workin' but not savin' any dough
Then came a woman lookin' real cool
She said to herself 'Now, that's my fool'
I'm gonna ball tonight
I'm gonna ball tonight
Well you can't break the rule becauses every man is some woman's
fool

I'm gonna ball tonight
We're gonna ball tonight
We're gonna ball tonight
We're gonna ball tonight
Well I can't break the rule becauses every man is some woman's
fool


10.When My Heart Beats Like A Hammer

Written:Riley B.King/Jules Bihari

When my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears,
Oh, when my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears,
You know you've only been gone 24 hours, baby,
Oh, but it seems like, it seems like a million years.

Now if I ever mistreated you baby,
You know I didn't mean no harm.
Oh, if I ever mistreated you baby,
God knows I didn't mean no harm.
You know, I'm just a little country boy, baby,
And I was raised right down on the cotton farm.

Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Babe, that I don't know what to do.
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Baby, I don't know, I don't know what to do.
Oh, I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing now, baby,
Babe, and it's all on, it's all on account of you.


11.Hold On I'm Coming

Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt
In a river of trouble about to drown

Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming

I'm on my way your lover
When you get cold
I'll be your cover
Don't have to worry
Because I'm here
Don't need to suffer
Because I'm here

Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming

Reach out to me
For satisfaction
Call my name
Quick reaction
Hey hey hey

Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt
In a river of trouble about to drown

Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
Hold On, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming


12.Come Rain Or Come Shine

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harold Arlen

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
Come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain and deep as a river,
Come rain or come shine.

Well I guess when you met me
That it was just one of those things,
But don't you ever bet me,
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me.

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me,
Come rain or come shine.
Happy together, unhappy together,
Won't that be fine?

Day may be cloudy or sunny,
We're either in or we're out of the money.
I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.

Third Verse

Fourth Verse

I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
