Shotgun Blues

Driving down the highway,
I'm running down the old 49.
Driving down the highway,
I'm running down the old 49.
No matter how fast I be going,
I just can't get you off of my mind.

Crossing over the border,
I been running for two weeks or so.
Crossing over the border,
I been running for two weeks or so.
Cause when you shot your woman down,
You ain't got nowhere to go.

Sheriff behind me,
I can hear his siren ring.
Sheriff right behind me,
I can hear his siren ring.
So I pull out my shotgun,
And the whole of Texas did hear it sing.

I'm living alone,
Living in a cell just built for one.
I am living alone,
Living in a cell built for one.
But at least when I get out,
I still got my good old shotgun.

Picasso Was Never as Blue as Me, Baby

Feel free to write me a letter baby,
I'll write you back some day.
Feel free to write me a letter some day baby,
I'll write you back some day.
Tell me why you've gone to him,
And sent me on my way.

I gave you my all,
Gave you everything I had.
I gave you my all,
Gave you everything I had.
Now you hand it all back to me,
Now ain't that kinda sad?

Nobody loves me,
Ain't got no friends no more.
I say nobody loves me,
Ain't got no friends no more.
And to make things a little worse,
My baby just walked out the door.

Picasso was a painter,
Never painted a picture as blue as me.
Picasso was a painter,
Never painted a picture as blue as me.
I'd let myself out the backdoor,
But ain't no-one given me no key.

Fatal Discharge

When I was a young boy,
At the age of seven.
My mama said to me,
You'll make the women go to heaven.

Now I'm a man,
Almost 33.
I'm glad to say,
All the women come to me.

Fatal Discharge,
It's been a-killing me.
Fatal Discharge,
It's been a-killing me.

Goin' back to the country,
Where a man can be free.

One and one is two,
Two an' two is four.
Way things been going babe,
I don't love you no more.

I'm a man,
I'm 33.
I'm glad to say,
All the women come to me.

CHORUS

Packed my bags this mornin',
You won't be seeing me.

Standin' Tall an' Straight

Well the night was red,
And my sky was blue.
Been thinkin' all day,
'bout him and you.

Cryin' baby,
Got certain things all on my mind.
Don't look so good,
The way you treats me so unkind.

Well I feel just like old Stagolee,
Walkin' down the line like a man who was free.

Watch out baby,
Better shut that door.
'Cause I'm-a chase you,
Down to the killing floor.

Well the rider,
He came up to me,
Told me the truth,
'Bout my lady.

Look out baby,
Better start flaggin' a ride.
'Cause I'll be searchin' for you,
This whole town wide.
I say watch out baby,
Better shut that door.
'Cause I'm-a chase you,
Down to the killing floor.

Stand Up (Let's Have Us A Revolution)

Starin' at the white man,
He strain' straight back at me.
People treated badly,
Why can't we be free?

Actions have no meaning,
What really changed?
You see we got no power,
No power to educate.

We got to STAND UP,
(And have a revolution.)
We got to STAND UP,
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.)

King he had a dream,
A dream for you and me.
Malcolm X he told us what to do,
By any means we need.

CHORUS

Lynchings are the future,
They burning down our homes.
Ku Klux Klan, they rule our streets,
In their big white robes.

CHORUS

Need to start some action,
Marchin' in the streets.
Make our voices heard
To everyone we meets.

Up in old Chicago,
Down in New Orleans.
We sure gonna be movin'
To help us reach our dreams.

CHORUS

The Eagle Has Landed (Upon You)

Driving down the space highway,
Cruisin' a hundred lights years an hour.
Driving down the space highway,
Cruisin' a hundred lights years an hour.
Don't know if I can make it,
The Lord gave me strength,
The Lord gave me power.

It's a one small step,
To get to you.
It's a one small step,
To get to you.
The Eagle Has Landed,
Right upon you.

Gonna dock my spaceship,
Right in your loading bay.
Gonna dock the spaceship,
Right in your loading bay.
Wonder if I'll ever make it,
The Lord gave me strength,
The Lord gave me power.

It's a one small step,
To get to you.
It's a one small step,
To get to you.
The Eagle Has Landed,
Right upon you.

Collage In My Mind

Got the blues this mornin',
Can't get myself outta bed.
Got the blues this mornin',
Can't get myself outta bed.
You see I been cryin',
It's because our love is dead.

Someone can write my mother,
Tell her I apologise.
Someone please write my father,
Tell him I apologise.
Tell 'em I can't keep on walking,
'Cause of that woman's lyin' eyes.

Think I'll go back to the Delta,
Can see myself livin' there.
I'm goin' back to the Delta,
Can see myself livin' there.
Sure as hell cain't stay,
No not after that affair.

SPOKEN: Hand me another whiskey,
Not long it matters any more.
Just pass me the last whiskey,
It don't matter no more.
I'll go out in a moment.
Go out through the backdoor.

Believe Her 'Till I Leave Her

Seen the sky this morning,
It's smilin' right back at me.
Seen the sky this morning,
Smilin' right back at me.
See the way I'm-a feelin',
everything good in life is free.

Got here last week,
Don't know how long I'll stay.
Found this town last week.
Don't know how long I'll stay.
But I got that funny kinda feeling,
I finally found my way.

I believe my baby,
I believe her good.
I believe my baby,
You know I believe her good.
I'll believe her 'till I leave her,
As long as she does to me like she should.

Gonna get me some crawlin',
We be crawlin' all night long.
Gonna get me some crawlin',
We be crawlin' all night long.
We gonna drink that moonshine.
We be shakin' to the dawn.

I'm Back

Got here this evening,
Still wiping tears from tired eyes.
Got here this evening,
Still wiping tears from tired eyes.
Baby, looking at your face,
I detect a note of surprise.

I'm back, mama,
I'm back to stay for good.
You see I'm back, ma,
Back to stay for good.
Swore I'd never see your face again,
But you know that I know I should.

Nothing has changed,
Your place still look the same.
Nothing has changed, ma,
Your place still look the same.
Sure don't do a lot of cleaning,
But you're such a fine dame.

I'm back, ma.
Think I'll stay here tonight.
You know I'm back, ma.
Think I'll stay here tonight.
Staying whether or not you want it,
But baby I don't want to fight.

Dust My Broom

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I quit the best girl I'm lovin',
now my friends can get in my room

I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gonna write a letter,
telephone every town I know
If I don't find her in Mississippi, she be in East Monroe I know

And I don't want no woman,
wants every downtown man she meets
No I don't want no woman,
wants every downtown man she meets
Man, she's a no good doney,
they shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah

Heretic (Jesus Died For Your Sins)

A naive boy of eighteen,
Well he had an innocent mind.
Hung out with the wrong crowd,
He thought they would be kind.

He's drinkin' as he please,
In a gutter every night.
And when he's not doin' that,
He's out lookin' for a fight.

He was a Heretic, Heretic.
My boy's a Heretic.
He was a Heretic,
Don't you know that Jesus died for your sins?

I used to be proud of him,
But now he makes his old man cry.
I gotta teach the boy some sense,
Before he ends up doin' time.

He's drinkin' as he please,
In a gutter every night.
And when he's not doin' that,
He's out lookin' for a fight.

He was a Heretic, Heretic.
My boy's a Heretic.
He was a Heretic,
Don't you know that Jesus died for your sins?

Preachin' (Not Teachin')

My lord he said to me,
He said "BC, you gotta run free."
I'll leave it to you to choose,
Just as long as you sing those blues."

I've been preachin', preachin',
But I not be teachin' you.
I been singin', singin',
I been singin' the blues.

My Lord he said to me,
"Will you do this one thing please?
You been gone all this time,
But now you're back in your right mind."

I've been preachin', preachin',
But I not be teachin' you.
I been singin', singin',
I been singin' the blues.

My lord he said to me,
"Can you feel the rhythm in your feet?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
Thank god you're still alive."

I've been preachin', preachin',
But I not be teachin' you.
I been singin', singin',
I been singin' the blues.

What'd I Say [Bonus Track]

Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong
Come and love your daddy all night long
All right now, hey hey, all right

See the girl with the diamond ring
She knows how to shake that thing
All right now now now, hey hey, hey hey

Tell your mama, tell your pa
I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas
Oh yes, ma'm, you don't do right, don't do right
Aw, play it boy

Tödlichen Entlastung [Bonus Track]

Als ich ein kleiner Junge
Im Alter von sieben Jahren
Meine Mutter sagte zu mir
Ich möchte, dass alle Frauen in den Himmel
Nun bin ich ein Mann
Fast dreiunddreißig
Ich freue mich sagen zu
Alle die Frau zu mir kommen 

Tödlichen Entlastung
Es ist Tötung ich gewesen
Tödlichen Entlastung
Es ist Tötung ich gewesen
Ich gehe zurück in das Land
wo ein Mann kann kostenlos  

eins und eins ist zwei
zwei und zwei ist vier
so wie die Dinge schon Baby
ich liebe dich nicht nicht mehr  

Tödlichen Entlastung
Es ist Tötung ich gewesen
Tödlichen Entlastung
Es ist Tötung ich gewesen
verpackte meinen Kasten heute morgen,
das du nicht mich sehen wirst

Ich (Ging Heute Morgen Und) Habe Eine Pistole [Bonus Track]
