If I had possession, over judgment day
If I had possession, over judgment day
Lord, the little woman I'm lovin' wouldn't, have no right to pray
And I went to the mountain, lookin' as far as my eyes could see
And I went to the mountain, lookin' as far as my eyes would see
Some other man got my woman, and these lonesome blues got me
And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long
And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long
Boy, I woke up this mornin', my biscuit roller gone
Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away
(spoken: I didn't like the way she done)
Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away
I said in my mind, "Yo' trouble gon' come some day1"
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee
I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me

I met a woman on a Saturday night
Looked like an angel in the dawns early light
Ever since that day I ain’t been right
She moves me in mysterious ways
She got the sweetest moves, I’ve never seen
A little freaky - if you know what I mean
Does this thing called the sowing machine
She moves me in mysterious ways
On the day she met me
Lord she came to get me
I was just some catfish – destined for her plate
Just with her candy – lordy she landed me
Hook line and sinker
I took the bait
She got an oven but she don’t cook
Her culinary skill’s ain’t from a book
Tenderizes me with just one look
She moves me in mysterious ways
Ooo what a kisser,
I would surely miss her
Hypnotizes me, Just saying hello
The way she acted, keeps me distracted
Its a roller coaster man, and I can’t let go
She’s so hot – she turn a green tomato! (noooo!!!)
She so hot – I wear sun screen to bed! (noooo!!!)
She so hot – she make a proud man beg! (noooo!!!)
She moves me in mysterious ways
I’m so delirious
moves me in mysterious ways

I’m a-lookin’ up the road, lookin’ for the Devil’s shoes
Yes, I’m a-lookin’ up the road, lookin’ for the Devil’s shoes
When I find the Devil’s shoes, gonna stomp all over the land
When I find the Devil’s shoes, well you better watch our boy!!
Won’t you come along, goin’ to a place I know
Won’t you come along, goin’ to a place I know
Gonna get there real soon, just around the corner boy
Yes I’ll be there real soon, only take a little while
When I find the Devil’s shoes
Gonna stomp all over the land
When I find the Devil’s shoes
Gonna stomp all over the land
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
I’m a-lookin’ up the road, lookin’ for the Devil’s shoes
Yes, I’m a-lookin’ up the road, lookin’ for the Devil’s shoes
When I find the Devil’s shoes, gonna stomp all over the land
When I find the Devil’s shoes, well you better watch our boy!!

Whining boy, don't deny my name
Just a whining boy, I said don't deny my name
Whining boy, don't deny my name
Pick it up and shake it like sweet stavin’ chain
Whining boy, don't deny my name
Well, mama, mama, take a look at sis
I said, mama, mama, take a look at sis
Said, mama, mama, take a look at sis
She's out there on the levee doin' the double twist
Whining boy, don't deny my name
Sister, sister, dirty sow
I said, sister, sister, dirty little sow
Well, sister, sister, dirty sow
Wants to be a bad girl but she don't know how
Whining boy, don't deny my name
Well, just a whining boy, don't deny my name
Just a whining boy, I said don't deny my name
I'm a whining boy, don't deny my name
Pick it up and shake it, stir the chain
Whining boy, don't deny my name

I'm gonna send my baby a brand new 20 dollar bill
I'm gonna send my baby a brand new 20 dollar bill
If that don't bring her I know something that will
Hamilton ain't no river Wellington ain't no Hilly town
Hamilton ain't no river Wellington ain't no Hilly town
She won't do nothin' to tear my reputation down, well
Shout baby shout
Shout baby shout
Shout baby shout
I know my baby she just shook and jumped and shout
My baby left town you know she left me a mule to ride
My baby left town you know she left me a mule to ride
Train left the station my mule let down and died, well
Shout baby shout
Shout baby shout
Shout baby shout
I know my baby she just shook and jumped and shout
I know my baby she just shook and jumped and shout

Bourjeois Blues

Lord, in a bourgeois town
It's a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Home of the brave, land of the free
I don't wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie
Lord, in a bourgeois town
Uhm, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Well, me and my wife we were standing upstairs
We heard the white man say "I don't want no niggers up there"
Lord, in a bourgeois town
Uhm, bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Well, them white folks in Washington they know how
To call a colored man a nigger just to see him bow
Lord, it's a bourgeois town
Uhm, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
I tell all the colored folks to listen to me
Don't try to find you no home in Washington, DC
'Cause it's a bourgeois town
Uhm, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Songwriters: Huddie Ledbetter

Cold is knockin’ on my door
Cold is knockin’ on my door
What he want to come here for
Cold is knockin’ on my door
Sun is risin’ o’er the hill
Sun his risin’ over the hill
Someone askin’ to be kilt
Swallowing a bitter pill
I wake the morning in my bed
Starin’ at the ceiling in my bed
Wonderin’ ‘bout the things I did
Now I’m lyin’ in my bed
What I’m gonna do now?
What I’m gonna do about this
Pack my bag – head along
In a while, I’ll be gone….

There's a great big mystery, and it sure is worryin' me
it's Diddie Wa Diddie, it's Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
Met a little girl 'bout four feet four, go on poppa n' and gimme some more
of the old Diddie Wa Diddie, the old Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
I went out and walked around, Somebody yelled, said "Look who's in town"
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
Went to church put my hat on the seat,
Lady sat on it, said "Daddy you sure are sweet
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
I said "Sister I'll soon be gone, Just gimme that thing you sittin' on
My Diddie Wa Diddie, My Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
Then I got put out of church, cuz I talk about Diddie Wa Diddie too much
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means

The Way Things Gonna Be
03:44
|

It was late in the evening I was lyin’ on the floor
Thinkin’ bout that slammin’ door
And I’m tryin’ hard to undertand, cos nothin’ seems right to me
But I guess that’s the way things gonna be
I got up in the morning washed my face and combed my hair
Then I sat right down in a kitchen chair
I was lookin’ out the backroom door and what do you think I see
I guess that’s the way things gonna be
Well it’s 3 oclock in the morning boys
And I should have gone to bed
I’ve got a funny feelin’ it was something that I said
And well – one and one and one is three
I gotta monkey sittin’ in my tree
And I guess that’s the way things gonna be
Well I’ve travelled up the East Coast and I’ve been to Waihau Bay
I’ve seen many things that really made my day
And there’s many a place I’d like to go to see what I can see
But I guess that’s the way things gonna be
