The things that I used to do
Lord I won’t do no more
The things that I used to do
Lord I won’t do no more
I used to sit around holding your hand darling
Crying and begging you not to go
I would search all night for you darling
Lord and that search would always end in vain
You know I used to search all night for you honey
Lord and my search would always end in vain
I should have known all along honey
That you were hiding out with your other man
I’m gonna send you back to your mama darling
Going back to my family too
Said I’m gonna send you back to your mama darling
Lord, I’m going back to my family too
You’re not welcome around here no more, no
There was nothing I could ever do to please you
I just can’t get along with you

Weep For Me
03:02
|
|||
Sitting at the bar, looking at half past three
Sitting at the bar, looking at half past three
Woman over there, can’t take her eyes off of me
And they walked
And they talked
And they slide
Like two pieces of a puzzle
On some kind of Ultraglide
Well turn my motor on baby
Let’s go for a ride
Jumping on the bed, her and just me too
Jumping on the bed, her and just me too
Watch out baby, I think I’m in love with you
Man walked in, he was seven foot one
Man walked in, he was seven foot one
He put his eyes on my boy
Man it’s time to run
And they walked
And they talked
And they collide
A head-on collision
Felt like I was going to die
Well sayonara baby
I’ll meet you on the other side
Well weep for me mama
No, I’ll never be found
Well weep for me woman
Cause you know I’ll never be found
But I’m just sitting at the bar
Clear on the other side of town

Real Blues
03:44
|
|||
Mama’s gone
Left a child of Five
Just wanna know
If’s she’s still alive
This is the real blues
This is the real blues
Well it won’t be long
Till the cards all drawn
In the real blues
I offered her, my heart that day
Like a dog
She just ran away
This is the real blues
This is the real blues
Well it won’t be long
Till the cards all drawn
Yes, it feels so wrong
And all that remains is a
sad, sad song
The things we do
Behind locked doors
Baby get your fix
And come back for more
This is the real blues
This is the real blues
Oh, it won’t be long
Before you will is all gone
And you thought you were so, so strong
Can’t keep holding on
You’re
Gone
Gone
Gone

Two Timing Woman
02:22
|
|||
Got a two-timing woman
I am a one-timing man
Got a two-timing woman
Run away as fast as you can
Got a two-timing lady
I am a one-timing lad
Two-timing lady
Get lost while you still can
Got loose change in my pocket
Got a rattlesnake in my jeans
Ain’t nothing you can slip by me
Seen all there is to be seen
That two-timing woman
Oh one-timing man
That two-timing woman
Run away as fast as you can
Got a two-timing Mama
Oh no a one-timing Dad
Got a two-timing mama
Lay down as much as she can
Look Out!
Got a booby-trap in my ice box
Got a pistol hid in my drawer
Gotta pick up the pieces of my heart
You smashed it there on the floor
Oh no!
Got loose change in my pocket
Got a rattlesnake in my jeans
Got more than enough to satisfy
By all the ways and means
Gonna write me a loveless letter
And leave it pinned to her door
Said “Lighting don’t strike twice my dear,
Don’t come back no more!”

The Doctor
04:29
|
|||
Called my honey just the other day
Said she thinks she’s getting sick
All this time we spent together baby
Ain’t no habit we can’t lick
Well, you don’t need no medicine baby
No nothing I can’t provide
I’ll be your Doctor baby doll
Check you out and inside
I heard a bomb drop today
Made a hole in the ground
Would’ve made a thousand widows weep
But there was no one around
Well, if home is where you hang your hat
I’m gonna hang mine on the streets
Don’t need no plaster walls around me
Just the ground beneath my feet

Work so hard it don’t do no good
So damn tired can hardly find my wood
When I get home, you make it all right
Come on baby let’s get out tonight
The music hits you, you’re out of control
Just can resist that rock’n’roll soul
I did it all for the love, you know
To hear my song on the radio
To hear the song on the radio
Two shakes of a lamb’s tail (X3)
Two Shakes
I’ll be right there
It’s getting hot! I like it like that
Your kind of love feels like a heart attack
But I don’t mind if you give me some more
Pick up the gas at the corner store
Feels so good just to be alive
I know you’re waiting for me to arrive
We’re in the groove, and what do you know?
Moving to the song on the radio
Grooving to the song on the radio
Two shakes of a lamb’s tail (X3)
Two Shakes
I’ll be right there
I feel all right, I’m feeling fine
Think I could do this till the end of time
Just like a rocket, that’s ready to blow
You play that song on the radio
She says play that song on the radio
Two Shakes of a lamb’s tail (X3)
Two shakes
I’ll be right there

Bleed Me Dry
02:16
|
|||
I need a break cuz it’s never enough
Knock ‘em down and they jump back up
What happens next, I don’t know
Caught between a spoonful and diggin’ a hole
Won’t you bleed me
Bleed me dry
Won’t you bleed me
Bleed me dry
The glass is half full so they say
I’m trying to quit drinking anyway
Ya really wanna know what I do it for?
Fill up the cashbox at the door
Won’t you bleed me dry
Bleed me dry
Don’t you bleed me dry
Bleed me dry
I heard you saying that you wanted some
I’m tired baby when my job is done
I don’t know if there’s room for two
Just ask my wife if she’s into you
Won’t you bleed me
Bleed me dry
Won’t you bleed me
Bleed me dry
Won’t you bleed me
Bleed me dry

Hang'Em High
04:19

Wandering
When I come, back
It could be you and me
Like it used to be
I don’t mind
If we don’t always see
Eye to eye
Swallow you pride baby
Let your love
Glide back to me
I’m scattered like
Ashes in the sea
Slipping down a dark hole
Callin’ me
Pace yourself
You’re not as young as you used to be
But when you’re so close to
The edge baby
Never feel so free
When the darkness, you know it comes to me
I Just might consume My soul
Like a hungry beast
I can feel it comin’
Coming alive
Even in the darkness
Shine so bright
So bright, so bright
I can hear it calling
Calling to me
I’m just a lonely sailor
Lost at sea
Find me sugar
When I’m lost like a little child
I can’t do it on my own
Help me find a way

T For Trouble
03:39
|
|||
I’ve got trouble on my left
Oh Lord, trouble on my right
I got trouble with my best friend
Trouble with my wife
People call me T for trouble
They say I’ll never see the light
I’ve got trouble in the daytime
Trouble in the night
I’ve got trouble for my lifetime
I Just can’t get it right
You can call me T for trouble
If you’re looking for a fight

Lost In The Dark
02:56
|
|||
Some people say
You’ve got to give your time away
I’ll double down
Tomorrow’s another day
I live lost in the dark
My life’s a walk in the park
I live lost in the dark
Nothin’ can blow my mind
I just don’t know
If I should grow up myself
But when I’m waiting
You’ll go and find somebody else
I live lost in the dark
Life’s a walk in the park
I live lost in the dark
Nothin’ can blow my mind
I was lost in the dark
Life was a walk in the park
You left me standing here
Who wants to take me home
|

Saw a man standing
On the side of the road
Asked me for a ride
To a town I didn’t know
He didn’t say nothing
About an hour and a half
When I asked him why
All he did was laugh
He said
Money don’t work on the Devil
Money don’t work on me
Money don’t work on the Devil
Money won’t set me free
1, 2, 3, 4, they’ll kick you out the door
5, 6, 7, 8, Pray to God it’s not too late
Money don’t work on the Devil
Money don’t work on me
Money don’t work on the Devil
Money won’t set me free
Later one evening
I was stumbling home
A little too much whiskey
I thought I was alone
Down a dark alley
I could hear a man’s voice
Said “Son don’t do what I did, I never had a choice”
Money don’t work on the Devil
Money don’t work on me
Money don’t work on the Devil
Money won’t set me free

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
