Rollin' And Tumblin'
(Morganfield)

Well I'm rollin' and a tumblin' I've cried the whole night long
Oh well I'm rollin' and a tumblin' I've cried the whole night long
Oh well I hurt your feelin' baby, so this gone all wrong

Oh well I really love you baby, come on and say you'll be mine
Oh well I really love you baby, come on and say you'll be mine
Well if you don't like my tattoo's??? don't you drink my wine

Oh well I cried as my momma have cried the night before
Oh well I cried as my momma have cried the night before
Oh well I hurt your feelin' baby, you don't love me no more

Well in the river was whiskey I wasn't drive and drunk
Well in the river was whiskey I wasn't drive and drunk
Well I was whipped to the bottom baby I wouldn't come up

Oh well I'm rollin' and a tumblin' I've cried the whole night long
Oh well I'm rollin' and a tumblin' I've cried the whole night long
Oh well I hurt your feelin' baby, so this gone all wrong

On The Road Again
(Jones/Vestine)

Well, I'm so tired of crying, but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well, I'm so tired of crying, but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend

You know the first time I traveled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
You know the first time I traveled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
I didn't have no payroll, not even no place to go

And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
When I was quite young
And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
When I was quite young
She said "Lord, have mercy on my wicked son"

Take a hint from me, mama, please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me, mama, please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
'Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm going

But I ain't going down that long old lonesome road
All by myself
But I ain't going down that long old lonesome road
All by myself
I can't carry you, baby, gonna carry somebody else

Going Up The Country
(Wilson)

I'm going up the country, baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going up the country, baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place where I've never been before

I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man you know I'd sure can't stay

Now, baby pack your leaving trunk
You know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause it's a brand new game and I don't want to play

No use of you running or screaming and crying
'Cause you got a home as long as I got mine


Amphetamine Annie
(Canned Heat)

This is a song with a message, want you to heed my warning

I wanna tell you all a story about this chick I know
They call her "Amphetamine Annie"
She's always shovelling snow
I sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear
"I don't mind you gettin' high
But there's one thing you should fear
Your mind might think it's flying, baby on those little pills
But you ought to know it's dying 'cause speed kills"

But Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor
She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door
Her mind was like a grinding mill
Her lips were cracked and sore
Her skin was turning yellow, I just couldn't take it no more
She thought her mind was flying on those little pills
She didn't know it was going down fast 'cause speed kills
Yeah, speed can kill you, too baby

Well, I sat her down and told her, I told her one more time
"The whole wide human race has taken
Far too much methedrine"
She said "I don't care what a Limey says, I've got to get it on
I'm not hip to the scene of the man
Who come from across the pond"
She wouldn't heed my warning
Lord, she wouldn't hear what I said
Now she's in the graveyard and she's awfully dead

Time Was
(Hite jr./Vestine/Wilson/Taylor/A. Delaparra)

Time was when we got along
Time was when we got along
It's too bad that the feeling's gone

Time was when we could agree
Time was when we could agree
That time is gone, now you fight hard with me

I've got time, things will work out fine

Trouble will not break my life
Trouble will not break my life
Some day you'll like what I'm putting down


Poor Moon
(Alan Wilson)

Ever since I was a kid
You sure looked good to me
Now I'm a man full-grown and I
Know what I hate to see

Oh well - it might be tomorrow
Oh well - I just don't know
Oh well - it might take years
I wonder when they're goin' to destroy your face

[It may seem silly but I don't like
What's been coming down
'Cause you've been looking good too long
To change your colour now]

Oh well - they might test some bomb
Oh well - and scar your skin
Oh well - I don't think they care so
I wonder when they're going to destroy your face

I hope I see you in the sky
At night when I get old
I hope you'll look about the same
As when I was a boy

Oh well - it gets me to gasping
Oh well - when I think about
Oh well - what they might do
I wonder when they're goin' to destroy your face

Well, you sure look good in the sky at night
And it's sad to say you won't shine so bright
Some day

I bet you've seen the cloud we make(?)
That covers up our rain(?)
I wonder if you'll hide behind
A shroud like that some day

Oh well - I'm worried about it
Oh well - it makes me sigh
Oh well - I just can't help it
I wonder when they're goin' to destroy your face

Oh well - it might be tomorrow ....

Let's Work Together
(Wilbert Harrison)

Together we stand, divided we fall
Come on now people let's get on the ball
And work together, come on, come on
Let's work together, now now people
Because together we will stand ev'ry boy, ev'ry girl and a man

Before when things go wrong as they sometimes will
And the road you travel it seems all uphill
Let's work together, come on, come on
Let's work together
Oh, you know together we will stand
Ev'ry boy, girl, woman and a man

Oh, well now two or three minutes, two or three hours
What does it matter now when this time's no loss
Let's work together, come on, come on
Let's work together, now now people
Because together we will stand
Ev'ry boy, every woman and a man
Oh come on! Oh come on, that's what you get!

Oh, well now make someone happy, make someone smile
Let's all work together and make life worth while
Let's work together, come on , come on
Let's work together, now now people
Because together we will stand
Ev'ry boy, girl, woman and a man - oh get it
Well now together we will stand
Ev'ry boy, girl, woman and a man - oh yeah
