Mr. Jack crossed a railroad track
Singin’ the blues and cryin’
His ghost and voice
Are haunting me
Listen…
Lord have mercy
Please…somebody help me…
His ghost and voice
Are haunting me again

The sky will always be blue
But James got those black cat blues
The sky will always be blue
and Albert got to hit the road again
If you win on Monday night
Tuesday morning you ‘re sure to lose
The sky will always be blue
But Willie ‘s got a jealous-hearted woman
The sky will always be blue
and Harry ‘s got the freight train blues
If you win on Wednesday night
Thursday morning you ‘re sure to lose
The sky will always be blue
But John’s heart done turned to stone
The sky will always be blue
But Vera ‘s heart began to moan
If you win on Friday night
Saturday morning you ‘re sure to lose

As the night began to fall ,
all the passengers got out of their minds
A rolling bass went to the bar
and ordered me a drink
A girl is shy and all the others are blue
there is no friend I could find
People are tired of being all alone
They want to hear the rhythm of a crazy trip
I wish I could change their minds
But if you bet all your money , you ‘ll lose it
Watch that, hear that , a crazy major strain
You can’t leave…there ain’t a place to go
All people have left their minds behind
I ‘m out of luck and it seems me that soon I will fall down
The clock stroke 12 times , what on earth are we gonna do?
Ain’t nothing like it was before , I think I am in hell
This train is full of madness…

A Strange Melody
04:00
|
|||
Give me a low-down beat
And say goodbye to the stormy weather
Here ‘s a little tune I ‘m gonna play for you
And your worries and troubles will be gone
I don’t know what the night will bring
But I ‘m sure tonight the moon will be bright
Go on and play that guitar brother
Howlin’ the blues makes me feel all right
A strange melody keeps my heart’s deep secrets
It makes me happy night and day
But now I ‘ve got to play that low down blues again
‘cause in the morning another melody will carry me away

It's True
03:47
|

The blues will always be around
‘cause people feel it
It’s a simple kind of music
It cures your heart when you’re down
Johnny and Albert said it
and you know it’s true
We all feel the blues
In many different ways
The blues makes us hope
For some better days
Otis and Stephen said it
and you know it’s true
A few riffs here and there
Will make you feel the blues
All of its sounds have a meaning
I bet you darlin’ you know it too.
Jimmy and John said it
and you know it’s true
I ‘m so far away from Mississippi
I ‘m so far away from Memphis
I ‘m so far away from Texas
I ‘m so far away from Chicago
But three chords have haunted my life
and you know it’s true

Seven plus seven
For 14 days I was sick n’ down
14 plus seven
My blues harp was moaning for 21 long nights
Now I ‘m lost in the blues
‘cause my baby won’t treat me right
21 plus seven
For 28 days I was low down and lonely
28 plus seven
My guitar was weeping for 35 nights
Now I ‘m lost in the blues
and my babe won’t treat me right

You done lost your mind little girl
Your way I really can’t stand
You need another man to do your rolling
And that is driving me mad
I don’t want no trouble with you babe
You better grab your stuff and go
The blues will be my companion
But it’s the last part of this show.
My life is dark and cold
Everything I do seems to be wrong
You got my mind messed up darlin’
that’s why I’m singin’ this song
I don’t want no trouble with you babe
You better grab your stuff and go
The blues will be my companion
But it’s the last part of this show.

It Took Me A Long Time
03:49
|
|||
It took me a long time
to understand the saints & the sinners
It took me a long time
to find out that ain't no right or wrong way
now I 'm gonna kill my nightmares
singin' the blues my own way
It took me a long time
to fill this house with lies and smoke
It took me a long time
to find out what was on your mind
now I have to steal a little time
to drink the bad times with red wine
It took me a long time
to trap the devil in a bottle
It took me a long time
to drink up all the sorrows on my own
now I got to chase the bad times away
Cause I’m a blues boy to the bone
It took me a long time
to understand the saints & the sinners
It took me a long time
to find out that ain't no right or wrong way
now I 'm gonna kill my nightmares
singin' the blues my own way

Roy B.

I walk alone again in the middle of the night
and I feel like a drop of rain in the sea
I hear your perfect sound and the cry of your soul
I feel your pain that makes me go down
I swear to god, believe me my friend,
six strings are enough for you to take me far away
like a drifter, like a bum, with no direction and home
all you need is to take your six strings in your hands
Now you are in the sky my friend Roy B.
on the heaven's band you play 12 bars on G
they were waiting for you
to welcome you to the band
the Messiah will come again
but you won't be here
everybody knows, everybody feels
that only a lonesome man can sing the blues
but everywhere I go, everywhere I look
people hurt and feel the pain
I swear to god, believe me my friend,
six strings are enough for you to take me far away
like a drifter, like a bum, with no direction and home
all you need is to take your six strings in your hands
Now you are in the sky my friend Roy B.
on the heaven's band you play 12 bars on G
they were waiting for you
to welcome you to the band
the Messiah will come again
but you won't be here

When I am be ready
To fly with you in the sky
You ‘ll laugh and walk away
Waving goodbye
I can hear the evening wind
Whispering to me my mistakes
The clouds turned as dark as night
And the world is painted blue again
|

My baby ‘s so sweet and so lovin’
She ‘s all I’m livin’ for
Surely my body gets the message
And I never wanna let her go
She ‘s got everything my poor heart needs
And I wanna be with her nay and day
Surely my body gets the message
Even if she is far away

Red Snakes & Cave Bats
04:12

You are busy , I ‘m lazy’
You are brave , I ‘m scared
Your dawn is my dusk
Your right is my wrong
Red snakes and cave bats
Are my true friends
You are an angel , I ‘m the devil
You are clean , I ‘m dirty
Your Spring is my Fall
You are the law and I ‘m an outlaw
Red snakes and cave bats
Are my true friends
You are modern , I ‘m old
You ‘re safe , I ‘m in danger
Your east is my west
Your start is my finish
Red snakes and cave bats
Are my true friends
