Roughneck Blues 1949-1956

If you told me that you loved me I'd feel so proud
If you let me hold you honey I'd holler out loud.
I'll never love another, even if I can.
Oh come to me baby, I'm a one-woman man.

(chorus)
Oh wantcha let me baby just to kind of hang around.
I'll always love ya honey and I'll never let let ya down.
I'll never love another even if I can.
Oh come to me baby, I'm a one-woman man.

I'd climb the highest mountain if it reached up to the sky
To prove that I loved you I would jump off and fly.
I'd even swim the ocean from shore to shore
To prove that I love just a little bit more.

[Repeat chorus twice]

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
Deep within my heart lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

Well, I called my baby and I told her to be
Down at the juke joint a-waitin' for me
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
I know every joint in town
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And I'm always jukin' around

Now, I work all weekend and I draw my pay
I hit a juke joint and I throw it all away
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
I guess I'll always be
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And a juke joint is home to me

Now I can dance all night to a juke joint song
When the sun comes up I'm still goin' strong
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
Yeah, now watch me go
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And baby, you're steppin' slow

These lonesome blues don't bother me none
'Cause I know every gal that wants to have fun
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
There ain't no flies on me
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And a juke joint is where I'll be

Well, I told my gal I just couldn't stay
She wants to marry, but I wants to play
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
I like to go all the time
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And I juke on down the line
