Ten Years After Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes

Lyricist:Al Kooper

I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes

Early in the morning
About the break of day
I fall down on my knees
I fall down and I pray
I think about my woman
My woman who's long gone

I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes

Later in the evening
I watch the sun go down
I think about my woman
But my woman Lord she ain't around
My heart is filled with sadness
And my eyes are filled with tears

I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Oh momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes


2.Goin' Back to Birmingham

Lyricist:Richard Penniman

Come on baby, won't do you no wrong

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, little baby
Now, now, now, now, now, now
Hey, yeah
Come on baby, come on down with me

Boom, boom, boom, boom
I said baby, boom, boom
Yeah, with my baby, yeah, yeah
Come on baby, come on down the road

Goin' back to Birmingham
Way down in Alabama
Goin' back to Birmingham
Way down in Alabama
Gonna do some boppin'
In a rock and rollin' band


3.Choo Choo Mama

Lyricist:A Lee

Choo choo mama, won't you ride the train?
My life without you is just misery and pain, come back to me
I'll treat you best I can
Choo choo mama, you should have a choo choo man

Choo choo mama, won't you ride a rail?
I need your loving, can't you hear me wail, come back to me
You know I love you so
Choo choo mama, won't you get a choo choo home?

Choo choo mama, won't you ride the track?
I need your loving, won't you bring some back on home to me
I need your loving, babe
Choo choo mama, don't you know you drive me mad?

Choo choo mama, you're a cheery thing
I love you, baby, can't you help me sing, come back to me
I want you back again
Choo choo mama, won't you get a choo choo train?


4.Don't Want You Woman

Lyricist:Lee A

Don't want you woman, please stay away from me
Don't want you woman, please stay away from me
Well, when I got you, sure good enough for me

Don't call me, baby, I don't think it's kind
Don't call me, baby, I don't think it's kind
Well, I got another woman, don't intend to leave her behind

Don't call me, baby, over on the phone
Don't call me, baby, over on the phone
If you wanna be kind to me, girl, try and leave me alone

Don't come on to me, baby, seeing me walkin' in the town
Don't come up to me, baby, if you see me walkin' in the town
around
Here I am

Don't want you woman, please stay away from me
Won't you woman, please stay away from me
Well, the one I got here is sure good enough for me


5.In The Year 2525

Lyricist:Rick Evans

In the year 2525
If man is still alive

If woman can survive they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth tell no lies

Everything you think do and say is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth won't need your eyes

You won't find a thing to chew, nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms are hangin' limp at you side

Your legs got nothin' to do, some machines doin' that for you
In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband won't need no wife

You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7015
If God's a-coming he oughta make it by then

Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day
In the year 8015
God is gonna shake his mighty head

He'll either say, I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kind a wond'rin' if man is gonna be alive

He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothin'
Now it's been ten thousand years, man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew, now man's reign is through

But through eternal night the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
In the year 2525


6.Let's Shake It Up

Lyricist:Gould Stephen Burt, Lee Barnes Alvin

I'm glad to see you made it to the show tonight
I know you live your rock n' roll
Rhythms gonna get you and make you feel alright
Move it to your very soul

You're working hard, now it's time to play
Time to let your soul be free
Music gonna get you like the jungle drums
Won't you rock n' roll it with me

It's a fever burning
Burning in my soul
Let's shake it up
Let's shake it up

Well, I feel like working on some rock n' roll
The sweat dripping off my face
Get the fire a' burning, shovel on some coal
Time to win the human race

Put some heat in the place
I see your body moving, I can feel the heat
Lord, how I love that rock n' roll
Feel it from my head to my feet

It's a burning fever
Burning in my soul
Let's shake it up
Let's shake it up


7.Rock And Roll Music To The World

Lyricist:Alvin Lee

We did some rock and roll up in Texas
And the folks from the Coast Towns said
You better watch yourself up in Texas
Or you, you might just end up dead, boy

But the people I found grooving to the sound
Of rock and roll music in the air
We all had a ball with no hassles at all
Pretty soon I'm gonna go back there

I'm singing rock and roll music to the world
Rock and roll music to the world

Ain't no relation to the United Nations
Keep rock and rolling to the world
Give peace a chance, get up and dance
When I sing rock and roll music to the world

I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna shout
Get my emotions and work them all right out
I wanna live just like I give
No need to fight, wait for tonight
When I sing rock and roll music to the world

Rock and roll music to the world
Rock and roll music to the world

Ain't got no calling, except for balling
Rock and roll music to the world

Don't need no boost, just turn me loose
And I sing rock and roll music to the world
I tell the truth, I ain't no star
I only shout and leave the rest to my guitar

Rock and roll music to the world
Rock and roll music to the world

Ain't no relation to the United Nations
Keep rock and rolling to the world
Don't need no boost, just turn me loose
And I sing rock and roll music to the world


8.You're Driving Me Crazy

Lyricist:Alvin Lee

You're driving me crazy, you're driving me mad
You're making me lazy, you're making me bad
You know you're no good to me
But you're the best woman I ever had

You lose all my friends, you scare them away
It looks like the end, babe, of living my way
You know you do me no good
But then I hope that you're going to stay

You ruined my health, you used me too much
You've blown all my wealth, you cripple my crutch
I know I'm playing with fire
But then I like what I feel when I touch

My mama, she warned me about your kind
My friends all scorned me, they say I'm blind
But then I know what I like
And babe, I like it with you all of the time

They call you a witch, they say I'm a fool
They call you a bitch, say you're really uncool
But babe, when I get on you
It's just like getting a kick from a mule


9.I Can't Keep From Cryin' Sometimes

I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Oh, momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes

Early in the morning
About the break of day
I fall down on my knees
I fall down and I pray
I think about my woman
My woman who's long gone

I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Oh, momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes

Later in the evening, I watch the sun go down
I think about my woman
But my woman, Lord, she ain't around
My heart is filled with sadness
And my eyes are filled with tears

I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Oh, momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes


10.Stone Me

Stone me, stone me
See if I care, it won't get you nowhere
Stone me, stone me, stone me
I am free

I can't deny, I am high
High on my own, out of this zone
And I can't cry no more
I've been down on the floor

Ride on, ride on
Straight down the road, carry your load
Ride on, ride on, ride on
I am strong

I can't explain, I feel no pain
Feeling so strong, I just keep going on
And I don't give a damn
'Cause I am what I am

I can't explain, I feel no pain
Feeling so strong, I just keep going on
And I don't give a damn
I just am what I am

Stone me, stone me
See if I care, it won't get you nowhere
Stone me, stone me
Stone me, stone me

Stone me, stone me
Stone me, stone me
Would you stone me, stone me
Stone me, would you stone me, yeah

Stone me, stone me, whoa, yeah
Stone me, stone me
