Progressive Blues Experiment

Johnny Winter Progressive Blues Experiment Lyrics
1.Rollin' And Tumblin'

Well I roll and tumble

Brother all night long

Well I roll and tumble

Brother all night long

Well I woke up this morning

All my thrill was gone

Well I know my baby

She got a red dress on yeah baby

Well I know my baby

She got a red dress on

When the sun goes up now

I tumble walking out

Well when I blow that whistle

She comes running down

Well when I blow that whistle

She comes running down

Oh I can hear them talking

With my baby there


2.Tribute To Muddy

Woah lord i wish lord i wonder what happens

Answer's the nickel a deep blues sea

I tore all the good looking women somewhere

Sure enough baby that's me 'cause it's gonna happen

Lord my mother well so as my father

About three months long before i was born

Said i got a boy child coming

Sure enough it gonna be a rolling stone

Lord i'm gonna get a rolling stone man

Lord i'm broke

Lord i'm broke

Now i reckon i better do

Lord if i clean up little girls

Then i go home with you

Yeah man i'm gonna walk

Woah lord it's true two things running

Lord i believe you're the worst child in my way

We're gonna watch them run at midnight

But the one that's running just gonna lie dead

Lord she's lone yeah and she's tall

Lord she weeps like a banshee

Lord the folks they say she's no good

But she's all right with me 'cause i'll be right there

Woah **** ****

Somebody help me help me i always lose

Lord see if the girl don't love the man you know

That's when i do the voodoos

Ah don't make you hurt honey

When my bad luck quit me man my trouble just began

Lord i'm sittin' down and thinkin' man i'm a long long way from
home

Just sittin' down and thinkin man i'm a long long way from home

Think about all my good times lord and my friends all want to
know

Other people won't accept me they say man leave me alone

Sittin' down and thinkin' lord i'm a long long way from home

Thinkin' about my good times man and my friends all want to know

6.Mean Town Blues

Lord my mother she done told me and my father done told me

My father told me too, yeah my mother she done told me

And my father done told me, my father told me too, it's a mean
old town to live in by yourself

Yeah, work for a dollar or several thousand, could not save a
dime

You know I worked for a dollar, or several thousand, man
couldn't save a dime

Ain't nobody worried and there isn't nobody's crying

Yeah, I got my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get some
of my cash

Lord I try to get my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get
some of my cash

It's those great big smiles to keep us out of that trash

So I packed up my suitcase and I move on down, hit that lonesome
road

You know I packed up my suitcase and I hit that lonesome, move
on down

I'm still crying to make it when the day was done


7.Broke Down Engine

Feel like a broke down engine Mama Lord my driving wheel

Got me all tied up and lonesome

You know exactly how it makes a good man feel

I've been shooting craps and gambling Mama I believe I done got
broke

Been shooting craps and gambling woman I believe I done got
broke

Had a poor mean forty four man and I'm already closing so

Man I went down to my praying ground and I felt down on my knees

Went down to my praying ground Lord I fell down on my knees

I ain't trying for no religion won't you bring me back my good
gal please

If you just send me my baby won't have to worry and cry no more

If you just send up my baby man

Don't have to bring it to my house Lord won't you leave her up
at my door
