Crossroads

By eric clapton

She is cryin', she is cryin'.
She's been cryin' all night long.
She's been cryin' for her one and only son.

She will weep, she will moan.
She will moan the night away.
She will weep and moan until the break of day.

I had called for the doctor,
But the doctor can't be found.
So what could i do but sit and look around?

Oh lord, won't you hear,
Won't you hear me when i pray.
Please send this girl her one and only son.

She is cryin', she is cryin'.
She is cryin' the whole night long.
She is cryin' for her one and only son.

By eric clapton and yvonne elliman

Ready, get ready. ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.

Well, you've been fooling 'round and i don't know why.
Left me on my own, sitting high and dry.
But i'm going to get you back, just you wait and see;
You can't do those things that you're doing to me.

Chorus

I've never needed a running 'round pissing hound,
Checking out the bitches in heat.
You've got a lot of nerve, dishing out what you serve,
Waggling your piece of meat.

Chorus

I want to get revenge on your sinful sins.
I got to get you back for what you did back then.
And now you've got it back, life is misery.
Well, ha ha ha to you, ha ha to me.

Ready, get ready. ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.

Get ready, get ready, get ready.
He's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart.

Get ready, get ready, get ready.
'cause he's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.

By don williams

There's no cause to think that i won't stay;
Haven't i been with you all the way?
There's no time like now to make amends.
After all, we are more than friends.

This could be the time for you and me.
We could go wherever we should be.
So don't put words between us we shouldn't say,
And don't be acting halfway
When you know we're all the way.

There are times when i don't see the light.
I don't know if what i do is right.
But when i'm wrong, it's never meant for you,
So don't confuse my love with what i do.

Chorus

By eric clapton and george harrison

Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car.
Thinkin' that i might have drove you too far.
And i'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table.

I told you not to wander 'round in the dark.
I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park.
Then i told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to mabel.

Yes, i told you that the light goes up and down.
Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?
And you better pick yourself up from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
Yes, before they bring the curtain down.

Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you.
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.

(by elmore james, morgan robinson and clarence lewis)

The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
I looked out my window, the rain was falling down in sheets.

My baby left me this morning, lord knows i don't know the reason why.
My baby left me this morning, i don't know the reason why.
And everytime i think about it, i hang my head and cry.

The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
I love my baby, i hate to see us part.

(traditional)

When a girl reach the age of 18
She begins to think she's grown,
And hat's the kind of little girl
You can never find at home.

Come and see me early in the morning,
Just about the break of day.
Want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?

One drink of wine,
Two drinks of gin.
Pretty young got me
In the shape i'm in.

Chorus

I pass by the juke joint,
Look through the door.
She's doing the boogie-woogie
In the middle of the floor.

Chorus

First verse

Chorus

(by robert johnson)

I got rambling, i got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling, i got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind.

I got mean things, i got mean things all on my mind.
I got mean things, i got mean things all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind.

I'm going down to the station, catch the fastest train i see.
I'm going down to the station, catch the fastest train i see.
I got the blues 'bout miss so-and-so, and her son's got the blues about me.

I got rambling, i got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling, i got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind.

They call it stormy monday, yes but tuesday's just as bad.
They call it stormy monday, yes but tuesday's just as bad.
Wednesday's even worse; thursday's awful sad.

The eagle flies on friday, saturday i go out to play.
The eagle flies on friday, but saturday i go out to play.
Sunday i go to church where i kneel down and pray.

And i say, "lord have mercy, lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy, lord have mercy on me.
Just trying to find my baby, won't you please send her on back to me."

The eagle flies on friday, on saturday i go out to play.
The eagle flies on friday, on saturday i go out to play.
Sunday i go to church, where i kneel down, lord and i pray.

Then i say, "lord have mercy, won't you please have mercy on me.
Lord, oh lord have mercy, yeah, won't you please, please have mercy on me.
I'm just a-lookin' for my sweet babe, so won't you please send him home,
Send him on home to me."

(by st. louis jimmy)

I have had my fun if i never get well no more.
I have had my fun if i never get well no more.
All of my health is failing;
Lord, i'm going down slow,

I'm going down slow.
Please write my mother and tell her the shape i'm in.
Please write my mother and tell her the shape i'm in.
Tell her to pray for me,
Forgive me for my sin,
For all of my sin.

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.
On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.
'cause all of my health is failing;
Lord, i'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

All of my health is failing;
Lord, i'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

Feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.
I feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.
I feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.
I feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.
I feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.

By eric clapton and marcy levy

Every morning when i wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.
There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.
There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.

Oh, i am a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can run without fear.

If it should become too cold, i know i can endure the frostbite.
Oh, a blanket then i'll wrap around me; i keep myself so close to my sight.
No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea.
'cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me.

Chorus

It is burning.
It is burning.

You can trust me; we can laugh. together we can share our sorrow.
I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow.
Gypsy woman said to me, "one thing you must bear in your mind:
You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime."

Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart.
And down at the core is the hottest part.
We can run without fear.

It is burning.
It is burning.

By eric clapton

Water on the ground, cloud on the sun,
Moon on the rise and the wind on the run.
But you know it's only water,
Water on the ground.

Snow is falling, weather is cold.
Maybe i'm just getting old.
And i think it's only water,
Water on the ground.

Back to the rivers, back to the sea,
Keeps on running, just like me.
But you know it's only water,
Water on the ground.

By robert johnson

I've got a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time.
I've got a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time.
You would do to quit me just to have it on your mind.

I've got a kind hearted woman, do anything in this world for me.
I've got a kind hearted woman, do anything in this world for me.
But these evil hearted women, lord, and they will not let me be.

Now it ain't but one thing makes mr. clapton drink.
I swear about how you treat me baby, i begin to think.
Oh baby, my life don't feel the same.
It breaks my heart when you call mr. so-and-so's name.

She's a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time.
She's a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time.
You're best to quit me baby as just to have it on your mind.

By robert johnson

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
Asked the lord above for mercy, "save me if you please."

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.

I'm going down to rosedale, take my rider by my side.
I'm going down to rosedale, take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside.

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy willie brown.
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy willie brown.
And i'm standing at the crossroads, believe i'm sinking down.

By bob marley

I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.

All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But i say:

I shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.

Sheriff john brown always hated me;
For what i don't know.
Every time that i plant a seed
He said, "kill it before it grows."
He said, "kill it before it grows."
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in self-defense.

Freedom came my way one day
And i started out of town.
All of a sudden i see sheriff john brown
Aiming to shoot me down.
So i shot, i shot him down.
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
But i say:

I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy, oh no.

By sonny boy williamson

You talk about your woman, i wish you could see mine.
You talk about your woman, i wish you could see mine.
Every time she starts to loving, she brings eyesight to the blind.

Her daddy gave her magic, i can tell by the way she walks.
Daddy gave her lots of magic, i can tell by the way she walks.
Every time she starts a-shakin', the dumb begin to talk.

She has got the power to heal you, never fear.
She has got the power to heal you, never fear.
Just one word from her lips and the deaf can hear.

(by otis rush)

Lay awake at night,
Oh so low, just so troubled.
Can't get a job,
Laid off and i'm having double trouble.

Hey hey, to make you've got to try.
Baby, that's no lie.
Some of this generation is millionaires;
I can't even keep decent clothes to wear.

Laugh at me walking,
And i have no place to go.
Bad luck and trouble has taken me;
I have no money to show.

Chorus

By bob dylan

Ma, take this badge off of me.
I can't use it any more.
It's getting dark, too dark to see.
Feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.

Ma, take these guns away from me.
I can't shoot them any more.
There's a long black cloud following me.
Feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Chorus

First verse

Chorus

got a cool little chick named rocking millie.
He can walk and stroll and susie q
And do that crazy hand jive, too.

Mama, mama, look at uncle joe
Doing the hand jive with sister flo.
Grandma gave baby sister a dime;
Said, "do that hand jive one more time."

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
Do that crazy jive.

Doctor and a lawyer and an indian chief,
They all dig that crazy beat.
Way-out willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet.

Chorus

Willie and millie got married last fall.
They had a little willie junior and that ain't all.
Well, the kids got crazy and it's plain to see,
Doing the hand jive on t.v.
