Johnny Winter Live Bootleg Series Volume 5 Lyrics
1.Introduction


2.Third Degree

Got me accused of peeping
I can't see a thing
Got me accused of petting
I can't even raise my hand

Bad luck
Bad luck is killing me
Well I just can't stand
No more of this third degree

Got me accused of murder
I ain't harmed a man
Got me accused of forgery
I can't even write my name

Bad luck
Bad luck is killing me(it's killing me)
Well I just can't stand
No more of this third degree

Can't stand this third degree

Yeah!
That's what I'm talkin' about!

Got me accused of taxes
I don't have a lousy dime
Got me accused of children
And ain't nary one of them mine

Bad luck
Bad luck is killing me
Well I just can't stand
No more of this third degree

No more of this third degree, oh no!
Yeah...


3.Talk Is Cheap

Well I don't want to hear you talk
I don't want to hear no speech
'Cause words don't mean a thing
If you don't practise what you preach

Talk is cheap, that's what I heard
If you want to prove something to me
Actions speak louder than words

Well now, people always talking
Talking day and night
Shakin' hands and makin' plans,
I just feel like cryin'

Talk is cheap, that's what I heard
If you want to prove something to me
Actions speak louder than words

Let's have some action now!

Well, you talk in the morning
You talk all day long
All that hot air
Is bound to wreck our happy home

Talk is cheap, that's what I heard
If you want to prove something to me
Actions speak louder than words

Yeees...!

I don't want to hear you talk
I don't want to hear no speech
Words don't mean a thing
If you don't practise what you preach

Talk is cheap, that's what I heard
If you want to prove something to me
Actions speak louder than words

If you want to prove something to me
Actions speak louder than words


4.You're Humbuggin' Me

You say I haven't been around
The way I dress is a sin
I've been further under the house
Lookin' for eggs than you've ever been

You're humbuggin' me
You're humbuggin' me
I believed all those stories darlin'
Now you're humbuggin' me

You told me darlin' you loved me
You said you'd go through fire or pain
Last week you wrote me a letter
Sayin' 'I'll see ya if it don't rain'
You're humbuggin' me
You're humbuggin' me
I believed all those stories
And now you're humbuggin' me

Yeah!

Well when I married you darling
You thought I was a puppet I know
You promised me chicken and pork roast
You give me sour milk and burnt toast

You're humbuggin' me
You're humbuggin' me
I believed all those stories darlin'
Now you're humbuggin' me

Yeah! You're humbuggin' me
Hey yeah! You're humbuggin' me
I believed all those stories darlin'
Now you're humbuggin' me


5.Light's Out

Standin' on my front porch
Grabbed her and I kissed her
Boy(I) was surprised when
I saw her little sister

Lights out
Lights out
I'm glad the lights was out
Sister knows(what) it's all about
What to do when the lights go out

Mother looked at me
She was peepin' through the window
Way she looked at me you'd have thought
I was her sister

Lights out
Lights out
I'm glad the lights was out
Sister knows(what) it's all about
What to do when the lights go out

lovin' on the front porch
took mama's swing
I can almost hear those weddin' bells ring

Lights out
Lights out
I'm glad the lights was out
Sister knows(what) it's all about
What to do when the lights go out

now we('re) married
and we got a little house
had to marry little sister
'cause the lights went out

Lights out
Lights out
I'm glad the lights was out
Sister knows(what) it's all about
What to do when the lights go out

now we('re) married
and we got a little house
had to marry little sister
'cause the lights went out

Lights out
Lights out
I'm glad the lights was out
Sister knows(what) it's all about
What to do when the lights go out


6.You Keep Sayin' That You're Leavin'

You keep sayin' that you're leavin'
If it's true I'll help you pack
Yes you keep tellin' me you're gonna leave me baby
You know if it's true I'll help you pack
But you know I ain't gonna be here waitin'
Girl if you come runnin' back

You keep sayin' that you're leavin'
But girl I swear I don't know why, I don't know why
Oh oh, you keep sayin' that you're leavin' baby
But girl I swear I don't know why
I did everything a man could do to keep you happy
And it don't seem like you even try, that you even try

I said everything before
Now I ain't got no more to say
Yes I said everything before girl
Now I ain't got no more to say
You know you treated a good man so bad
Well down the line you gonna pay


7.New York New York

Moon over Brooklyn, shining bright
Gonna see my baby in the Bronx tonight
Staten Island, Queens County, New York Harbor
Gotta get back to my Manhattan mama

New York, New York
New York, New York
You know it sounds so nice
I've got to say it twice
New York, New York

Downtown local bound to take me home to
Country canyons made of glass and chrome
Gotta get yourself hip to the ways of the street
You can't get into it until you get down deep in

New York, New York
New York, New York
You know it sounds so nice
They had to name it twice
New York, New York

See the wealth passing by my door
Looking through my window on the 86th floor
Can't get used to living where the air is clear
I got to dig the funky urban atmosphere

New York, New York
New York, New York
You know it sounds so nice
I've got to say it twice
New York, New York
New York!

Moon over Brooklyn, shining bright
Gonna see my woman in the Bronx tonight
Staten Island, Queens County, New York Harbor
Gotta get home to my Manhattan mama

New York, New York
New York, New York
You know it sounds so nice
They had to name it twice
New York, New York

Oh, New York, New York
New York, New York
You know it sounds so nice
I've got to say it twice
New York, New York


8.Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo(Bonus Track)

I couldn't stop moving when it first took hold
It was a warm spring night in the ol' town hall
There was a group called The Jokers,
they were layin' it down
Don'tcha know I'm never gonna lose that funky sound

Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news

The skeeters start buzzing 'bout this time o' year
I'm goin' round back,
she said she'd meet me there
We were rollin' in the grass that grows behind the barn
When my ears started ringin' like a fire alarm

Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news

Hope ya'll know what I'm talkin' about
The way they wiggle that thing,
it really knocks me out
I'm gettin' high all the time,
hope ya'll are too
Well come-on a little closer,
gonna do it to you

Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news

That I'm tired of payin' dues
Done said goodbye to all my blues
Lawdy mama light my fuse
