Sneakin' S

(wilko johnson)

Hard time going down
I just hangin' 'round
Sweet thing good love
Thats all i'm thinking of

Time and the devil is gonna bring me everything i need
Well i don't have to worry, oh no
About the love or the money, oh no
Time and the devil is gonna bring it all home to me

No woman no cash
No place to crash
Clock strike midnight
I feel quite alright

Time and the devil is gonna bring me everything i need
Well i don't have to worry, oh no
About the love or the money, oh no
Time and the devil is gonna bring it all home to me

- guitar break -

What's this i see
Looking over at me
Just like i said
Got my breakfast brought to the bed

Time and the devil is gonna bring me everything i need
Well i don't have to worry, oh no
About the love or the money, oh no
Time and the devil is gonna bring it all home to me

I'm finding out what love is all about
Every day at three when school lets out
I'll se my baby i get weak in the knees
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Why must she be such a dog gone tease
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

We meet the gang and go to rockin' joe's
The cats are stomping on their heels and toes
I grab my baby try and give her a squeeze
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
My daddy told me there be times like these
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
Spends my money then she treats me cruel
I´m beggin for her kisses on bended knees
Give me some lovin' baby please please please

- harmonica solo -

I keep trying hard to make her mine
Some day the wind will blow the sun will shine
Until the time she puts my heart at ease
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She lock my heart and throw away the key
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
Spends my money then she treats me cruel
I'm beggin for her kisses on bended knees
Give me some lovin' please please please

Went out walking i recall
Me and my best girl along the wall
In the long grass side by side
Where the big ships go gliding by, go gliding by
Skylark singing in the sun
Something told me shes the one
When i looked down into her eyes
I saw pictures of paradise... of paradise... of paradise

Everynight you look so mean
Staring at your tv screen
Back when we where seventeen
You turned me around irene irene

When the days got colder time went by
Dark cloud rising into the sky
I just sat there gazing on
Like a tower of babylon... of babylon
I went wandering far from home
Left my good girl all on her own
I went back there she got the power
See me through my darkest hour... my darkest hour... my darkest hour

Everynight you look so mean
Staring at your tv screen
I got lost inside a dream
You brought me back irene irene

People talking but they don't know
Where i've been to or where i'll go
World keep turning all things change
I love two girls i ain't ashamed... i ain't ashamed
All your loving it thrills me so
I can't go with you i just can't go
A thousand highways you don't live twice
Only one road to paradise... to paradise... to paradise

Everynight you look so mean
Staring at your tv screen
Thinkin about what might have been
I'll love you still irene irene

Hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
Hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
Your daughter she's old enough to make up her own mind
She's got sense enough to know whether she wanna be mine

Keep your big mouth shut
Hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
I said hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut

I'm in love with your little girl
And your little girl is in love with me
You know we're together now and happy we could be

Keep your big mouth shut
I said hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
Mmm hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut

- harmonica solo -

You say i'm not good enough
To be your daughters man
But when trouble comes her way
I'll be right there to hold her hand

Keep your big mouth shut
I said hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
Why don't you ... hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut

Now your daughter she knows what she wants
She's got what she knows about
The way that she loves me mmmmm...
Sure just knocks me out

Keep your big mouth shut
Keep your big mouth shut
Keep your big mouth shut
Why don't you
Keep your mouth shut

Why don't you
Keep your big mouth shut
Why don't you
Keep your big mouth shut

Hey mama keep your big mouth shut
Keep your big mouth shut

One more

Hey mama keep your big mouth shut

Let's go

Waiting on the station for the train to stand in line
Your head is full of summin' and your feet is keeping time
You can't stop moving while you're waiting for that train
Your body's pumpin' boogie and it's reaching to your brain

It's times like that you played your lucky seven
And the seven bought the time right back

Weaving through the alleyways and walking down the streets
Your bones starts shakin there's a rhythm in your feet
Heading for a place where some friends are hanging round
Riding on the yard back to the south side of town

Well it's times like that you played your lucky seven
And the seven bought the time right back

- break - harmonica solo -

Down into the basement the things were getting hot
The band was getting wound up people boogin' on the spot
High headed honey said 'the lights are getting low'
Take her by the hand she want's to go go go

It's times like that you played your lucky seven
And the seven bought the time right back
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven

Lucky seven time right back
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven time right back

Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven time right back
