Four Chords&Several Years Ago

Huey Lewis And The News Four Chords&Several Years Ago Lyrics
1.Shake, Rattle, And Roll

shake, rattle, and roll
(c. calhoun)

Get outta that bed, and wash those face and hands.
Get outta that bed, and wash those face and hands.
Get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots and pans.

When you wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin' through.
When you wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin' through.
I can't believe my eyes, all of this belongs to you.

I believe in my soul you're the devil in nylon hose.
I believe in my soul you're the devil in nylon hose.
Well, the harder i work, the faster my money goes.

I said 'shake, rattle and roll',
I said 'shake, rattle and roll',
I said 'shake, rattle and roll',
I said 'shake, rattle and roll',
Well, it won't do nothin' to save your doggone soul.

I'm like a one-eyed cat, peepin' in a seafood store.
I'm like a one-eyed cat, peepin' in a seafood store.
Well, i can look at you and tell you ain't no child no more.

Way over the hill, and wigged out underneath.
Way over the hill, and wigged out underneath.
You make me roll my eyes; baby, make me grit my teeth.

I said 'shake, rattle and roll',
I said 'shake, rattle and roll',
I said 'shake, rattle and roll',
I said 'shake, rattle and roll',
Well, it won't do nothin' to save your doggone soul.

7.Mother In Law

(a. toussaint)

Mother in law, mother in law

Mother in law, mother in law

The worst person i know

Mother in law, mother in law

She worries me so

Mother in law, mother in law

If she leaves us alone

We could have a happy home

Sent from down below

Mother in law, mother in law

Mother in law, mother in law

Satan should be her name

Mother in law, mother in law

To me they're about the same

Mother in law, mother in law

Everytime i open my mouth

Steps in trying to put me out

How could you stood so low

Mother in law, mother in law

Mother in law, mother in law

Come home with my pay

Mother in law, mother in law

She asks me what i made

Mother in law, mother in law

She thinks her advice is a contribution

If she would leave that would be the solution

Don't come back no more

Mother in law, mother in law

Mother in law, mother in law....

10.Stagger Lee

The night was clear, and the moon was yellow

And the leaves came tumblin' down. . .

I was standin' on the corner

When i heard my bull dog bark.

He was barkin' at the two men

Who were gamblin' in the dark.

It was stagger lee and billy,

Two men who gambled late.

Stagger lee threw a seven,

Billy swore that he threw eight.

'stagger lee,' said billy,

'i can't let you go with that.

'you have won all my money,

'and my brand-new stetson hat.'

Stagger lee went home

And he got his .44.

He said, 'i'm goin' to the ballroom

'just to pay that debt i owe.'

(bridge)

Go, stagger lee

Stagger lee went to the ballroom

And he strolled across the ballroom floor.

He said 'you did me wrong, billy.'

And he pulled his .44.

'stagger lee,' said billy,

'oh, please don't take my life!

'i've got three hungry children,

'and a very sickly wife.'

Stagger lee shot billy

Oh, he shot that poor boy so hard

That a bullet went through billy

And broke the bartender's bar.

Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!

Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!

(to fade)


11.She Shot A Hole In My Soul

(m. gayden, c. neese)

She shot a hole in my soul

I'm walking all over town

Calling her name and trying to find her

She shot a hole in my soul-yeah

I'm walking all over town

Knockin and beatin on every door

Some pity me

And people start to cry

One man said he helped me

But i thanked him and said goodbye

'cause i've got to keep on trying-oh

I'm going crazy, about to lose my mind

I've got to keep on trying

I'm going crazy, about to lose my mind

My heart says

Without a love you're dying

Baby, baby, baby

Can't you hear me crying

Say, oooh

Woooh, help me somebody

She shot a hole in my soul

I'm walking all over town

Calling her name and try to find her

She shot a hole in my soul-yeah

I'm walking all over town

Knockin and beatin on every door

I walked into a club

Jumped up and grabbed the microphone

I asked the man, leading the band

To let me sing a song

'cause my heart says

Without a love you're dying

Baby, baby, baby

Can't you hear me crying

Say, oooh

Woooh

She shot a hole in my soul

I'm walking all over town

Calling her name and try to find her

She shot a hole in my soul-yeah

I'm walking all over town

Knockin and beatin on every door


12.Surely I Love You

(m. oliver, j. bracken)

Chorus:

Surely, surely, surely, surely,

Surely, surely, surely, surely,

I, i, i, i,

I, i, i, i,

Love ov, lo lo, love ov, lo lo, love ov, lolo love you

Come rain, come snow

Come, come sunshine

Your love will stop the rain

It will melt the snow

'cause you're mine

All i find to say

When i feel this way

Is just i...i

Love you, love you, love you

I love you because

Darling, you're for real

You showed this heart of mine

How a real true lovin' ought to feel

Surely, surely, surely, surely,

Surely, surely, surely, surely,

I, i, i, i,

I, i, i, i,

I love you because

Honey, you're for real

You showed this aching heart

How a real true lovin' ought to feel

13.You Left The Water Running

(r. hall, d. penn, o.franck)

Chorus:

You left the water running

When you left me here behind

You left the water running

Running from these eyes of mine

Running from these eyes of mine

You turned off the life and love

And left with another guy

You turned off all of your love from me

But you forgot to turn off the cry

You forgot to turn off the cry

You pull the shades a way down low

You disconnect the telephone

Oh baby, but these tears, a-running from my eyes

You can't turn 'em off any, no

No you can't turn 'em off any, no

(brass solo)

Chorus

You locked the door, left my heart outside

And then you threw the key away (tell 'em colla)

But you'll regret and you'll be upset

When you get your water bill to pay

When you get your water bill to pay

Chorus


14.Your Cash Ain't Nothing But Trash

(c. calhoun)

Walking down the main drag one night

I met a fine chick that looked- just right

She stopped in and i flashed my roll

I told her she could have all of my dough

She turned around, and with a fround

She said this ain't no circus and i don't need a clown

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

So there ain't no need in your hangin' around

Just to make the hit with that chick

I tried to get a cadillac right quick

The man at the place looked so strange

I had nine hundred bucks and some change

We disagreed, i tried to pleed

He said i ain't no chicken and i don't need your feed

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Then brother you're crawling we passed your speed

I'm walking and countin my bucks

The man with the gun said hands up

I tried to get away but i was too slow

He caught me and took all of my dough

I heard him shout, as he cut out

'you really lost nothing what you're crying about?'

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

And he took my watch and i passed out

I woke in the arms of a big cop

Police station next stop

The judge swung his fist down plunk plunk

Twenty dollar fine 'cause you're drunk

Dig up the dough, and you can go

And all i had was a buffalo

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

But i sure better get me some more

16.Better To Have And Not Need


17.Going Down Slow

(j. oden)

Well i've had my fun if i don't get well no more

Well i've had my fun if i don't get well no more

Yeah my head is spinning

And i'm going down slow

Please write my mother tell her the shape i'm in

Please write my mother tell her the shape i'm in

Tell her to pray for me

Forgive me for my sins

(harmonica solo)

Don't send me no doctor he won't do me no good

Don't send me no doctor he won't do me no good

I said it's all my fault

Did do things i shouldn't have... (chris)

(guitar solo)

Driftin' and stumblin' like a ship out on the sea

Driftin' and stumblin' like a ship out on the sea

I ain't got nobody

To care for me
