I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive 02:14
lyrics
buy track
Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kind-a mad I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand My woman run away with another man No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive A distant uncle passed away And left me quite a batch And I was livin' high until the fatal day A lawyer proved I wasn't born I was only hatched Ev'rything's agin' me and it's got me down If I jumped in the river I would prob'ly drown No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time Is full of holes and nails And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow 'Cause nothin's ever gonna be allright nohow No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive

There's A Tear In My Beer 02:37

There's a tear in my beer 'Cause I'm crying for you dear You are on my lonely mind Into these last nine beers I have shed a million tears You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinkin' Until I'm petrified And then maybe these tears Will leave my eyes There's a tear in my beer ’Cause I'm crying for you dear You are on my lonely mind Last night I walked the floor And the night before You are on my lonely mind It seems my life is through And I'm so doggone blue You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinkin' Till I can't move a toe And then maybe my heart Won't hurt me so There's a tear in my beer ’Cause I'm crying for you dear You are on my lonely mind Lord I've tried and I've tried But my tears I can't hide You are on my lonely mind All these blues that I've found Have really got me down You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinkin' Till I can't even think ’Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink There's a tear in my beer ’Cause I'm crying for you dear You are on my lonely mind

Weary blues from waitin' Lord I've been waitin' too long These blues have got me cryin' Oh sweet mama please come home The snow falls 'round my window But it can't chill my heart God knows it died the day you left My dream world fell a-part Weary blues from waitin' Lord I've been waitin' too long These blues have got me cryin' Oh sweet mama please come home Thru tears I watch young lovers As they go strollin' by Oh all the things that might have been God forgive me if I cry Weary blues from waitin' Lord I've been waitin' too long These blues have got me cryin' Oh sweet mama please come home

Long Gone Lonesome Blues 02:50
lyrics

I went down to the river To watch the fish swim by But I got to the river So lonesome I wanted to die oh Lord And then I jumped in the river But the doggone river was dry She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue I had me a woman Who couldn't be true She made me for my money And she made me blue A man needs a woman That he can lean on But my leanin' post Is done left and gone She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue I'm gonna find me a river One that's cold as ice And when I find me that river Lord I'm gonna pay the price oh Lord I'm goin' down in it three times But Lord I'm only comin’ up twice She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue She told me on Sunday She was checkin' me out Long about Monday She was nowhere about And here it is Tuesday Ain't had no news I got them gone But not forgotten blues She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue

(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle 02:07
lyrics

I was ridin' Number Nine Headin' south from Caroline I heard that lonesome whistle blow Got in trouble had to roam Left my gal an' left my home I heard that lonesome whistle blow Just a kid actin' smart I went and broke my darling's heart I guess I was too young to know They took me off the Georgia Main Locked me to a ball and chain I heard that lonesome whistle blow All alone I bear the shame I'm a number not a name I heard that lonesome whistle blow All I do is sit an' cry When the evenin' train goes by I heard that lonesome whistle blow I'll be locked here in this cell Till my body's just a shell An' my hair turns whiter than snow I'll never see that gal of mine Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I Won't Be Home No More 01:53
lyrics
buy track
Well you're just in time to be too late I tried to but I couldn't wait And now I 've got another date So I won't be home no more You're just in time to miss the boat So don't take off your hat and coat Be on your way that's all she wrote 'Cause I won't be home no more I stood around a month or two And waited for your call Now I 'm too busy pitchin' woo So come around next fall I scratched your name right off my slate And hung a sign on my front gate You're just in time to be too late And I won't be home no more Well you're just in time to turn around And drive your buggy back to town You looked me up I turned you down And I won't be home no more You're just in time to change your tune Go tell your troubles to the moon And call around next May or June 'Cause I won't be home no more I used to be the patient kind Believed each alibi But that's all done I 've changed my mind I 've got new fish to fry Well you're just in time to celebrate The things you didn't calculate You're just in time to be too late And I won't be home no more

Ramblin' Man 02:53
lyrics
buy track
I can settle down and be doin' just fine Till I hear an old freight rollin' down the line Then I hurry straight home and pack And if I didn't go I believe I'd blow my stack I love you baby but you gotta understand When the Lord made me He made a Ramblin' Man Some folks might say that I'm no good That I wouldn't settle down if I could But when that open road starts to callin' me There's somethin' o'er the hill that I gotta see Sometimes it's hard but you gotta understand When the Lord made me He made a Ramblin' Man I love to see the towns a-passin' by And to ride these rails 'neath God's blue sky Let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea 'Cause that's the life I believe He meant for me And when I'm gone and at my grave you stand Just say God’s called home your Ramblin' Man

No Woman No Cry 05:25
lyrics

'Cause I remember when we used to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites As they would mingle with the good people we meet Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost Along the way In this bright future you can't forget your past So dry your tears I say No woman, no cry No woman, no cry Little darlin' don't shed no tears No woman, no cry Said I remember when we used to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown And then Georgie would make the fire light Log wood burnin' through the night Then we would cook corn meal porridge Of which I'll share with you My feet is my only carriage So I've got to push on through But while I'm gone... Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright (now) Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright So, no woman, no cry No, no woman, no woman, no cry Oh, little sister, don't shed no tears No woman, no cry [Repeat second verse]

Bad Moon Rising 02:02

I see the bad moon arising I see trouble on the way I see earthquakes and lightning I see bad times today Don't go around tonight Well it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise I hear hurricanes ablowing I know the end is coming soon I fear rivers over flowing I hear the voice of rage and ruin Don't go around tonight Well it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise Hope you got your things together Hope you are quite prepared to die Looks like we're in for nasty weather One eye is taken for an eye Don't go around tonight Well it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise

To Ramona 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Ramona come closer Shut softly your watery eyes The pangs of your sadness Will pass as your senses will rise The flowers of the city Though breathlike get deathlike at times And there's no use in tryin' To deal with the dyin' Though I cannot explain that in lines Your cracked country lips I still wish to kiss As to be by the strength of your skin Your magnetic movements Still capture the minutes I'm in But it grieves my heart love To see you tryin' to be a part of A world that just don't exist It's all just a dream babe A vacuum a scheme babe That sucks you into feelin' like this I can see that your head Has been twisted and fed With worthless foam from the mouth I can tell you are torn Between stayin' and returnin' Back to the South You've been fooled into thinking That the finishin' end is at hand Yet there's no one to beat you No one to defeat you 'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad I've heard you say many times That you're better 'n no one And no one is better 'n you If you really believe that You know you have Nothing to win and nothing to lose From fixtures and forces and friends Your sorrow does stem That hype you and type you Making you feel That you gotta be just like them I'd forever talk to you But soon my words They would turn into a meaningless ring For deep in my heart I know there is no help I can bring Everything passes Everything changes Just do what you think you should do And someday maybe Who knows baby I'll come and be cryin' to you

Clap Hands 02:51

Sane sane they're all insane The fireman's blind the conductors lame A Cincinatti jacket and a sad luck dame Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain Clap hands clap hands Clap hands clap hands Said roar roar the thunder and the roar Son of a bitch is never comin' back here no more Moon in the window a bird on the pole Can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal Clap hands clap hands Clap hands clap hands Steam steam a hundred bad dreams Goin' up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans A fifty dollar bill inside a Palladin's hat And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at Said roar roar the thunder and the roar Son of a bitch is never comin' back here no more Moon in the window a bird on the pole Can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal Clap hands clap hands Clap hands clap hands Shine shine a Roosevelt dime All the way to Baltimore and runnin' out of time Salvation Army seemed to wind up in the hole They all went to Heaven in the little row boat Clap hands clap hands Clap hands clap hands
