I wore my .44 so long, i made my shoulder sore.
I wore my .44 so long, i made my shoulder sore.
Well, i'm going down in the valley, where my baby's gone.

I'm so mad this morning, i don't know where in the world to go.
I'm so mad this morning, i don't know where in the world to go.
Well, i'm gonna get me some money, or i'll just have some dough.

I wore my .44 so long, i made my shoulder sore.

Well, i'm going down in the valley, where my baby's gone.

Driving in my car, smoking my cigar,
The only time i'm happy's when i play my guitar.

Sailing in my yacht, what a lot i got,
Happiness is something that just cannot be bought.

I've been in and i'm out, i've been up and down,
I don't want to go until i've been all around.

What's it all about, anyone in doubt,
I don't want to go until i've found it all out.

By eric clapton

You see her walking down the road.
Man, that little girl is fine.
I'd like to take her for a ride.
I'd like to make her mine, all mine.

Look at that jailbait.
Ain't that jailbait.
Come on jailbait.
She's just jailbait.

And do her mom and daddy know
She gets all the boys so wound?
She can't be more than sixteen.
Man, that little girl is sound.

Hey little girl, where you going tonight?
Hey little girl.

Chorus

Hey little girl, where you going tonight?
Hey little girl.

By eric clapton and bobby whitlock

She took my hand
And tried to make me understand
That she would always be there,
But i looked away
And she ran away from me today;
I'm such a lonely man.

It came as no surprise to me
That she'd leave me in misery.
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow that she'd never walk away.

First verse

And if it seemed a sin
To love another man's woman, baby,
I guess i'll keep on sinning
Loving her, lord, till my very last day.

But i looked away
And she ran away from me today;
I'm such a lonely man.

Lightning's flashing all around me,
Thunder's rolling up behind.
Big blue clouds are going to roll in
Full of tears and make me blind.

I can't let her man recatch me.
I can't stop to cry no more.
I'm just running down the highway,
One jump ahead of the storm.

One jump ahead of her crying,
One jump ahead of her cold cheating arm.
One jump ahead of her lying,
One jump ahead of the storm.

One day i looked on the horizon,
Saw her love just couldn't last.
Oh, my mind was torn to pieces.
I had to leave and get out fast.

And so i slipped out of her power.
I saw my chance and i was gone
Before the rain could start to falling.
One jump ahead of the storm.

Chorus

I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.

I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.

By eric clapton and bobby whitlock

You were talking and i thought i heard you say
"please leave me alone.
Nothing in this world can make me stay.
I'd rather go back, i'd rather go back home."

But if you believed in me like i believe in you,
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly.
And i know anyday, anyday, i will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.

Well someday baby, i know you're gonna need me
When this old world has got you down.
I'll be right here, so woman call me
And i'll never ever let you down.

Chorus

And i know anyday, anyday, i will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.

To break the glass and twist the knife into yourself;
You've got to be a fool to understand.
To bring your woman back home after she's left you for another,
You've got to be a, you've got to be a man.

Chorus

Anyday, anyday, i will see you, i will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.
Anyday, anyday, i will see you smile.
Any way, any way, just for a little, just for a little while.

By ginger baker and janet godfrey

Who wants the worry, the hurry of city life.
Money, nothing funny; wasting the best of our life.

Sweet wine, hay making, sunshine day breaking.
We can wait till tomorrow.
Car speed, road calling, bird freed, leaf falling.
We can bide time.

I walked all night long with my 32-20 in my hand.
I walked all night long with my 32-20 in my hand.
Looking for my woman, well i found her with another man.

When i found that woman, they were walking hand in hand.
When i found that woman, they were walking hand in hand.
Well it did surprise me when i found her with another man.

She started screaming murder and i had never raised my hand.
She started screaming murder and i had never raised my hand.
Well she knew that i had them covered, i had the stuff right there in my hand.

I ain't no bully, i don't go with the baddest man in town.
I ain't no bully, i don't go with the baddest man in town.
When i catch a man with my woman, i usually tear his playhouse down.

By willie dixon and al perkins

I think i'm leaving in the morning,
All your crying won't help you now.
I think i'm leaving in the morning baby, yeah,
All your crying won't help you now.
But the whole time i was with you baby,
Everybody, everybody knowed you weren't no good no how.

Yes it was a long time coming baby,
But you, but you finally made it home.
Yes it was a long time coming baby, yeah,
Oh but you finally made it home.
Yes i want you to realize now baby, yeah,
Darling you know you done me wrong.

You built my hopes so high,
Honey, you let me down so low.
Oh you built, you built my hopes so high baby, yeah,
Oh woman, you let me, you let me down so low.
Yes you got me walking 'round here in circles baby,
Oh i don't know which way to go.

Oh just one more time babe,
Just let me, let me prove my love to you.
Yes just one more, one more time baby, yeah,
Why don't you let me, let me prove my love to you.
I want to do all the little things baby,
All the little things i will you ask to do.

By bonnie bramlett and steve cropper

Well, i've told you for the last time,
Told you for the last time.

I'm gonna turn on my love light,
Let it shine one more time,
Let it shine, shine, shine for the last time.

There's gonna be a big change made, and i'm gonna make it.
This time i'm gonna lay it on the line.
I got a lot to give when you're woman enough to take it, oh yeah.

Chorus

I sure want to love you baby, baby if you'd only let me.
You only pick me up just to put me down.
I finally let my mind make a decision, oh yeah.

I'm gonna start my wheels a-spinnin',
Let 'em turn one more time,
Let 'em turn, oh yeah, for the last time.

First verse

Chorus

By jack bruce and pete brown

Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
I want to just show you what my politics are.

I'm a political man and i practice what i preach.
I'm a political man and i practice what i preach.
So don't deny me baby, not while you're in my reach.

I support the left, though i'm leaning, leaning to the right.
I support the left, though i'm leaning to the right.
But i'm just not there when it's coming to a fight.

Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
I want to just show you what my politics are.

By porter grainger and everett robbins

There ain't nothing i can do, or nothing i can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So i'm gonna do just what i want to anyway,
And don't care if you all despise me.

If i should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It ain't nobody's business if i do.

If i go to church on sunday
And i shimmy down on monday,
It ain't nobody's business if i do.

And if my friend ain't got no money
And i say, "all right, take all of mine honey,"
It ain't nobody's business if i do.

If i lend her my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle,
It ain't nobody's business if i do.

I would rather my gal would hit me
Than to haul right up and quit me.
It ain't nobody's business if i do.

I know that she won't call no copper
If she gets beat up by her poppa.
It ain't nobody's business if i do, lord no.
Well, it ain't nobody's business if i do.

By chester burnett

One summer day, she went away;
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay.
She's gone, but i don't worry:
I'm sitting on top of the world.

All the summer, worked all this fall.
Had to take christmas in my overalls.
She's gone, but i don't worry:
I'm sitting on top of the world.

Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a freight train.
Going to leave this town; worked and got to home.
She's gone, but i don't worry:
I'm sitting on top of the world.

By mckinley morganfield

Well, i woke up this morning; i best get rolling on.

Well, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
Well, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
I want to tell you about the way they treated me.

Well, i rolled and i tumbled, cried the whole night long.
Well, i rolled and i tumbled, cried the whole night long.
When i woke up this morning, all i had was gone.

By ginger baker and mike taylor

When the city of atlantis stood serene above the sea,
Long time before our time when the world was free,
Those were the days.

Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds,
Before wild medusa's serpents gave birth to hell
Disguised as heaven.

Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere are they now?
They're gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.

Tie your painted shoes and dance, blue daylight in your hair,
Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame.
Wonder everywhere.

Chorus

By elton john, bernie taupin and olle romo

There's a hungry road i can only hope's
Gonna eat me up inside.
There's a drifting spirit coming clean
In the eye of a lifelong fire.
Tell monday i'll be around next week;
I'm running ahead of my days.
In the shotgun chance that scattered us,
I've seen the error of my ways.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.

Well we've wrapped ourselves in golden crowns
Like sun gods spitting rain.
Found a way home written on this map
Like red dye in my veins.
In the hardest times that come around,
The fear of losing grows.
I've lost and seen the world shut down;
It's a darkness no one knows.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.

And i've poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain.
I'm standing in a station waiting in the rain.
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again,
But love is lost like a runaway train.

I'm out of control and out of my hands.
I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land.
I'm trying to get a grip on my life again.
Nothing hits harder than a runaway train.

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.

Third verse

And i've poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain.
I'm standing in a station waiting in the rain.
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again,
But love is lost like a runaway train.

By jack bruce and pete brown

When i was young they gave me a mongrel piano,
Spent all my time inventing the cup of tea.
Writing your name in the sea,
Banging my favorite head.

Missing the last bed, waving the cheery herring,
Balancing brass bands on the tip of my toe.
Phoning your home from a tree,
Drinking my favorite loch.

When i was old they gave me a model factory,
I met three salads out on the motorway.
Leaving your name at the door,
Breaking my favorite egg.

Missing the walrus, sharing my last banana,
Balancing zeppelins on the end of my nose.
Calling your name in the zoo,
Blowing my favorite mind.

By jack bruce and janet godfrey

I'm a sleepy time baby, a sleepy time boy.
Work only maybe, life is a joy.

We'll have a sleepy time time.
We'll have a sleepy time time.
We'll have a sleepy time time.
We'll have a sleepy time time.
Sleepy time time, sleepy time all the time.

Asleep in the daytime, asleep at night.
Life is all playtime; working ain't right.

Chorus

I have my sunday, that ain't no lie.
But oh monday morning ain't my favorite cry.

Chorus

By jack bruce and pete brown

Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here.

Don't let them take me to where streams are red.
I want to stay here and sleep in my own bed.
Need all your loving, long blonde hair,
Don't let them take me 'cause i'm easily scared.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.

Chorus

I got this great need, the need to stay alive.
Not ashamed of my creed, i've got to survive.
So come on baby, don't go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.

I got this need, the need to stay alive.
Not ashamed of my creed, i've got to survive.
So come on baby, don't go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.

Chorus

I got this thing, i've got to keep it sharp.
Don't go to places where it won't shine in the dark.
So come on baby, don't go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.

By colton and smith

There's a full time reservation
Made in a bar at the railway station,
And there's a story, a kind of fable,
On a card at the corner table.
On it is a message; been there some time.
It starts off, "the coffee tasted so fine..."

It says, "one day, this may find you,
These few words may just remind you.
We sat here together just to pass time;
You said how the coffee tasted so fine."

It goes on to say, "i love you.
If you should find this i must hear from you."
It gives a number but the name has faded away.
All that is left are just the words, "maybe someday..."

That's the story and the fable;
Never leave alone from a corner table.
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo.

By jack bruce and pete brown

Gonna build myself a castle
High up in the clouds.
There'll be skies outside my window;
Lose these streets and crowds.
Dance the night away.

Will find myself an ocean,
Sail into the blue,
Live with golden swordfish,
Forget the time of you.
Dance the night away.

Dance myself to nothing.
Vanish from this place.
Gonna turn myself to shadow
So i can't see your face.
Dance the night away.

By jack bruce

Please open your eyes.
Try to realize.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.

Please open your mind.
See what you can find.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.

We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.

By ginger baker and mike taylor

It is a cold winter,
Away is the songbird.
And gone is her traveller,
She waits at home.

The sun is on holiday,
No leaves on the trees.
The animals sleep
While cold north wind blows.

The snowflakes are falling,
The roof a white blanket.
There's ice on the window pane,
She waits alone.

She sits by the fireside,
The room is so warm.
Her children are sleeping,
She waits in their home.

Passing the time.
Passing the time.
Everything fine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, everything fine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, everything fine.
Passing the time, wine and time rhyme.
Passing the time.

It is a long winter,
Away is the summer.
She waits for her traveller
So far from home.

She sits by the fireside,
The room is so warm.
There's ice on the window,
She's lonely alone.

From four until late i was wringing my hands and crying.

I believe to my soul that your daddy's gulfport bound.

From four until late, she made me a no good barroom clown.

You know she won't do nothing but tear a good man's reputation down.

A woman is like a dresser, some man always running through its drawers.

When i leave this town i will bid you fare farewell.

And when i return again, you'll have a great long story to tell.
