1.I Got The Blues
Lyricist：H Eddy Owens
Sometimes I'd sing the blues when I know I should be prayin'
Sometimes I'd sing the blues when I know I should be prayin'
'Fore I share the world's troubles, it's why I feel this way
I wake up some mornin' feel like I wanna cry
I began to sing the blues, yes, to ease my worried mind
I was born with emotions and a song was in my soul
Another part of my story, it may never be told
If I only knew when my trouble would end
If I only knew when my trouble would end
I'd kiss bad luck goodbye and start all over again

If I don't get you back, baby
I've only myself to blame
29.She's The No Sleepin'est Woman
When I tiptoe to the house, high as a kite
I'd rather face a tiger than to face my wife

When I hit the doorstep, she knows it's me
With my shoes in my hand, I'm careful too
It makes no difference, it's, 'Honey, is that you？'
She's the no sleepin'est woman I ever did see
When I hit the doorstep, she knows it's me
Well, I like to play around sometime with my friend
But when I go home, I'm afraid to go in
She thinks my head is a rubber ball
It's the same old story from summer to fall
She knows I'm sick, and a little tight
But I gotta prepare for a all night fight
She's the no sleepin'est woman I ever did see
When I hit the doorstep, she knows it's me
Well I like to play around sometime with my friend
But when I go home, I'm afraid to go in
She thinks my head is a rubber ball
It's the same old story from summer to fall
She knows I'm sick, and a little tight
But I gotta prepare for a all night fight
She's the no sleepin'est woman I ever did see
When I hit the doorstep, she knows it's me
She's the no sleepin'est woman I ever did see

No sleepin'est woman that I ever did see

When I first met you, baby, you were a real gone chick

You better wake up, baby 'n' change your antique ways
Instead of advancin', baby, you're goin' back to horse and buggy
days
You said the style is changin', I don't know why I should laugh
or cry
You said the style is changin', I don't know if I should laugh

Better get yourself a job now, baby, I'm tired of you worrying
me
Well, you made a lot of money, baby but you never saved a dime

Prices are high now darlin' and all the good jobs are gone
34.Description Blues
I was in love with a married woman an' I just couldn't help
myself
I was in love with a married woman an' I just couldn't help
myself
But I don't go 'round breakin' up families an' that's the reason
why I left
She looked at me like she could kill me when I said that we were
through
She looked at me like she could kill me when I said that we were
through
I'm on the side that's doin' the buildin' and not the wreckin'
crew

There are so many single women that are footloose an' fancy free
So why should I fool with a married woman
Who can't, can't do a thing for me？
35.I Want A Little Girl
I want a little girl, call my own
She must be someone who's all alone now
Say, I want a little girl to fall in love with me, oh yeah
I want a little girl but she may not look
Just like a picture in a story book
If she can cook chicken, yeah, she'll suit me to a T
And she don't have to wave her hair
Or even wear fancy clothes
I wouldn't even care she don't wear nylon hose, oh no
I want a little girl to love a lot
You know that I'd give her everything I got
I want a little girl to fall in love with me
36.Midnight Blues
Well, the clock is strikin' twelve, somebody's got to go
Well, the clock is strikin' twelve, somebody's got to go
Gee but I'm going to miss ya, baby, this is one thing I'm sure
you know
When it's twelve o'clock in Memphis it's one o'clock in San
Antone
When it's twelve o'clock in Memphis it's one o'clock in San
Antone
When it's midnight in California I'll be so all alone
Midnight is an awful hour, why does it come so soon？
Midnight is an awful hour, why does it come so soon？
It never bring me happiness, it always leave me filled with
gloom
Don't ever gamble buddy unless you're sure that you can't lose
Don't ever gamble buddy unless you're sure that you can't lose
You better take my advise unless you want this midnight blues
Put it away
37.Street Walking Woman
I've got a street walkin' woman
She stays tall and twisted all the time
I've got a street walkin' woman
She stays tall and twisted all the time
She goes to bed with a fifth of whiskey
And she wakes up with a jug a-wine
She leaves home early in the mo'nin'
Then she don't come back until the sun's goin' down
She leaves home in the mo'nin'
An' she don't come back until the sun is goin' down
She's always got her whiskey up to her mouth
And her face full of ugly frown
I work hard every day
Try to make ends meet
I work hard every day
And try to make ends meet
All that woman wants to do
Is keep her big feet in the street
I love my street walkin' woman
She walks the avenue up and down
I love my street walkin' woman
She walks the avenue up and down
Sometime I wish she would start ta walkin'
An' keep on walkin' outta town
