Save My Soul

Saw a man standing by the side of the road
Gonna tell you a story that's never been told
What you want you can't get with gold
So the Devil and me are gonna take your soul
Hey there mister you don't know me
If you want my ghost you won't get it for free
Gotta save my soul
Old Legbah took one look at me
Said you're the sorriest sight I ever did see
Come here boy and sign this deed
One drop of blood is all I need
Well old Legbah you don't know me
If you want my blood you won't get it for free
Gotta save my soul
Saw a man standing by the side of the road
Gonna tell you a story that's never been told
What you want you can't get with gold
So the Devil and me are gonna take your soul
Hey there mister you don't know me
If you want my soul you won't get it for free
Gotta save my soul

And it’s gonna be one
One, Two
One, Two, Three
Count my dollar bills to payday
Went out last Friday
Wallet flush with dollar bills
Went out last Friday
Out on the town, looking for thrills
Woke up Sunday morning, Lord so much pain
Woke up Sunday morning, Three dollars to my name
And it’s gonna be one
One, Two
One, Two, Three
Count my dollar bills to payday
Monday morning’s coming
Off to work I go
Monday morning’s coming
Up with the cock, ready to crow
Don’t get paid till Wednesday, need some time to think
Don’t get paid till Wednesday, Lord I need me a drink
And it’s gonna be one
One, Two
One, Two, Three
Count my dollar bills to payday

Trying To Get Somewhere
02:27
|
|||
|
I’ve been calling, I’ve been calling
But the lines are not in place
Lord I’m falling, Lord I’m falling
For the lines on your face
Summertime breeze blowing up your skirt
Brings a smile to my face
Hold me darling, lift me up
Before I fall flat on my face
I’m trying to get somewhere
I’m trying to get somewhere
Hear me calling, hear me calling
Just a knockin’ at your door
Come on baby, open up
Stop trying to start a war
5 minutes alone is all we need
Then we're lying on the floor
Lord I'm falling, catch me darling
When there's no one left to catch me
I’m trying to get somewhere
I’m trying to get somewhere

Just Cuz
03:57
|
|||
|
Just cuz you want me
Just cuz you care
Just cuz you need me
When no one is there
Every time I leave you alone
You are warm and safe at home
Go to sleep, and dream a dream so lonely
Just cuz you feel it
Hard as a stone
Just cuz you’re bleeding
Sad and alone
From the first time I saw your face
You’re astounding, amazing grace
Sleep now babe, and dream a dream so lonely
Every time that we say good night
Don’t give up that fight
I’m coming back, but maybe not tomorrow
I’m coming back babe, maybe tomorrow

Treat Me Right
03:06

|
Stop for a minute, I’ll tell you when the time is right
Wait up for a minute, you know my favorite time is night
I’ve been waiting for a lover who can find a way to treat me right
Stop just a minute, we gotta play this hand just right
Hold on just one minute babe, you’re shining in the pale moonlight
I’ve been waiting for a lover who can find a way to treat me right
I don’t need a woman who keeps me up crying all night
I need a sweet loving Mama with a body that makes me feel all right
Hold on just a minute babe, we gotta time this thing just right
Wait up for a minute babe I’m spinning like a satellite
I’ve been waiting for a lover who can find a way to treat me right
Well I finally found a lover
I could never find another
Treat me right

Well I want you to know
What you do to me
Well I want you to know
What you do to me
Oh baby
When you move like that there
Well I want you to see
What you do to me
Well I want you to see
What you do to me
Oh baby
When you move like that there
Well I want you to touch
I love it so much
Well I want you to touch
Mmm I love it so much
Oh baby
When you move like that there

Killer
03:22
|
|||
|
Once in a lifetime that train comes along
Picks you up, leaves you where you belong
All you ever wanted shines like sun
Do you think you’re the chosen one
Just like a killer back from the grave
Your body and mind are my slave
All you ever wanted wanes like the moon
I’ll be coming home soon
I’m a killer of love
I’m a killer of love
You’re my number one lover
My number one chance
My number one victim of circumstance
You might just like it or try to get away
But you’ll never get away
Nah babe, you’re here to stay
I’m a killer of love
I’m a killer of love

Going To Hell
03:01
|
|||
|
Head full of smoke
Tears in your eyes
You start to choke
On a mouthful of lies
Ice in your veins
Is burning like fire
Neverending dream
Is all you desire
Understand man, you ain’t got no real plan
If I’m going to Hell
I’m taking you with me
Standing at the edge
Staring at the noose
Shotgun is cocked
The razor is popped
Understand man, you ain’t got no real plan
If I’m going to Hell
Listen to me boy, your life ain’t no toy
If I’m going to Hell
I’m taking you with me

Stand By My Woman
04:12
|
|||
|
I’m in love but I don’t wanna be
So much pain trapped inside of me
After all the times you said we’d stick together babe
You were lying, left me crying in the pouring rain
Don’t waste my time little girl
I’m gonna stand by my woman
Stand by my woman
Stand by my woman
Until the day that I die
After all the times you said we’d stick together baby
You were lying, you left me crying in the pouring rain
You said I‘d always be the one you come home to
You said I’d always be the one you belong to
That’s not true
Don’t waste my time girl
I’m gonna stand by my woman
Stand by my woman
Stand by my woman
Until the day that I die
Sometimes I see you walking on the street
All those pretty young boys trying to meet ya
I’m not gonna wait till I hear you cry
I’m not gonna wait and wonder why
I’m not gonna wait, I’m not gonna wait
Until the day that I die

Sole Survivor
02:55
|
|||
|
Contradiction to the Nth degree
So uncertain when you’re here with me
Just want some peace babe, I want to be free
But my tongue gets tied when you’re next to me
Shut me down every time I open up
Sipping away on your half empty cup
Honey do you know the trouble you’ve wrought?
I’ve been waiting Ten years for you to grow up
Everything that you say
Just fades away
Do you want to be the sole survivor?
I’m just trying to be myself
It’s just a question of my mental health
Don’t need fame, I don’t need wealth
Just some solitude so I can express myself
Somehow we got lost along the way
Feel like a dog who’s bone’s been taken away
Can’t live tomorrow, you gotta live today
Got to plant those seeds before they get blown away

Walkin' Shoes
04:37
|
|||
|
I went down to the Devil
To find me a new pair of walkin’ shoes
I went down to the Devil
To find me a new pair of walkin’ shoes
He said Jimi I’ll write you a one-way ticket
But you gotta sing those Blues
Some people pray to God
Soothes their soul, ease their mind
Some people pray to God
Soothe their soul, ease their mind
When I called out to Jesus at the Crossroads
You know he left me behind
Now when I look at the man in the mirror
I know he’s all mine
Take me down, take me down
Take me down to the bottom
I went down to the Devil
To find myself a new pair of walkin’ shoes
Said I went down to the Devil
To find me a new pair of walkin’ shoes
He said Jimi I’ll write you a one-way ticket
But you gotta sing those Blues
Momma always said no man is an island
And I know this is true
Take me down, take me down
Take me down to the bottom

Jim Dan Dee Toronto, Ontario
“Real Blues” presents an honest and raw portrait of the band’s musical Blues and Rock influences. We tried for a no overdubs approach whenever possible; listeners will get about as close as they can to the live experience without leaving their homes. We really wanted this album to breathe; all the squeaks, breaths, clicks and buzzes remain on record, so the quiet moments have a life of their own. ... more
