Blues shadows fallin', since my baby went away Blues shadows fallin', since my baby went away You know the blues is my companion, every night and every day
The blues walked in this morning, when my baby said goodbye The blues walked in this morning, when my baby said goodbye I wish I could change her mind, but I know it's no use for me to try
Yes will you talk to me baby, if it's just by the telephone Won't you please talk to me baby, if it's just by the telephone Let me tell you how I miss you baby and how it feels to be alone
So brother, if you got a good woman, man, you better take my advice Say, if you got a good woman, man, you better take my advice You better treat her like an angel and keep her home at any price
You never treated me gentle Yet you spend up all of my gold Then you look around for a young man Tell me I'm too old That's why we can't agree Yeah, baby, we can't agree
Now if I don't see you no more, baby It'll be way too soon for me You're known for being a lover You like to holler loud One man for you ain't nothing You talk so loud you draw a crowd That's why we can't agree Yes, baby, we can't agree Now if I don't see you no more, baby It'll be way too soon for me
You're used to eating hot dogs When you go out to dine I taught you what a steak was And now you've almost lost your mind That's why we can't agree Yes, baby, we can't agree Now if I don't see you no more, baby Honey, that'll be way too soon for me You know it will
Now your clothes look like a sifter Because they had so many holes You know we both Came from the ghetto, baby And everybody knows We can't agree Yes, baby, we can't agree Now if I don't see you No more, little woman Honey, it'll be way too soon for me Yes, it will
Another one of them crazy endings. That's the only way I could get out of it.
She's a ghetto woman, waitin for her man to come home Oh poor ghetto woman waitin for her man to come home She's just a ghetto woman waitin for her man to come home To come home
A rat run cross the floor, a roach turn up the wall Everything is noisy around her, that don't seem to bother her at all Cause she's a ghetto woman, sittin there all alone She's just a ghetto woman waitin for her man to come home To come home
Yes, the tv's on, radio blastin' the news Somebody down the hall, playin the low down dirty blues My ghetto woman, she's all alone She's just a ghetto woman, waitin for her man to come home To come home
Cause she's a ghetto woman, said she's a ghetto woman Oh, ghetto woman, what's on your mind Sometimes I look in your face, can't help but cry.
You know I got to find me People, I got to find me A part time love Oh I need I need me a part time love Every time Every time my baby leaves me You know I need a part time love
The people in the cemetery They're not all alone Some turn to dust And some have bone You know I'd rather be dead Six feet in my grave Than to live lonely Each and everyday
I need me I need me a part time love Every time my woman leaves me You know I need a part time love
She came home this morning I asked her where she'd been She said, "Don't ask me No questions, baby 'Cause I'll be leaving again"
I've got to find me Don't you see, I've got to find me A part time love My baby leaves me I need a part time love Yes, I do
Oh every time my woman leaves me Have to suffer The whole time she's gone I got to say it again When she leaves me I suffer every time she's gone When she leaves me I just got to have me a part time love Is there somebody out there
Oh I need Mm, I need me a part time love Can't say it too much I need, oh, I need . . .
I've been all over Europe And across the sea With each new place It gets clearer to me Week after week On tour with my band You don't have to speak 'Cause they all understand
The power of the blues Hey, hey, the power of the blues And that's good news I'm talking about the power of the blues
Yes, it's just a few changes That I won't deny But if you think it's easy You just give it a try You know the truth But you're afraid to say it That it ain't what I play It's the way that I play it
That's the power of the blues Yes, the power of the blues You'll change your views When you hear the power of the blues
Now me and Lucille We're gonna stop this war I'm no politician But I know the score You can call me a hawk Or maybe I'm a dove But all we gotta do Is shoot 'em full of love
With the power of the blues Hey, the power of the blues It's the thing to use Talking about the power of the blues Yes, I am
Once upon a time, a long long time ago, wherever you'd lead me, I would surely follow Girl, you put me through some pain and misery And now you are standing on my doorstep, telling me how much you need me Baby, ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home)
How many times I begged for you to come home, but you laughed at me and said let me alone Through my falling tears I saw you walk away And now you're beggin' me to forgive you, but this time, baby, it's your turn to beg Baby, ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home)
Girl, I used to love you, placed no one else above you Gave you everything that I own Girl, you can't come back here Ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home)
Once upon a time, when you went on your way But, girl, I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day But time has made some changes, turned me upside down So, you can beg me to forgive you, but this time, baby, you can turn right around
Ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home Girl, you hurt me once (Chorus: ain't nobody home) I hear you knockin' (Chorus: ain't nobody home)
Now now, my darling Can I have a little talk with you Oh now now now now, darling Can I have a little talk with you You know I don't think it will be long Before our love is through
Yes, tell me, darling Am I right or am I wrong Oh tell me, tell me, tell me Am I right or am I wrong I just wanna know, baby When are you coming home
Hey, listen to me, baby While I hold your hand Hey, listen to me, baby While I hold your hand Don't want nothing I just wanna be your man
When darkness falls I'm so all alone Yes, yes, my darling I'm so all alone And you know I wouldn't be, baby If I knew when you were coming home
Hey, listen to me, baby Honey, while I hold your hand Hey, I want you to listen to me, baby Honey, while I hold your hand I don't want nothing I just wanna be your man
Your smiles are my happiness Your sorrow are my tears Oh your smiles are my happiness And your sorrow are my tears If you just whisper love to me, baby You know it'll live on through the years Yes, it will
