BIG RIVER
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl
Then I heard my dream was back downstream Cavortin' in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone
I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf
She loves you, Big River, more than me

HYENNA'S SMILE
Once my daddy told me, girl you better just take care with the ones you meet, people use to lie, they're not what they say so you better be smart and don't show your real face.
Always bring your smile, also if you feel sad and don't let no one know the reason of your pain, because once they know they'll use it as a bomb, for when you feel good and they do not.
But I never learnt to wear a phony face, trying to show up like everything's ok because when I feel bad I can cry and cry and let the ones I love, take care of my heart.

A WOMAN NEEDS A FRIEND
When I was just a girl I heard many people say
A woman needs a man by her side
But now that I´ve grown up, I know that was a lie
And I don´t need no man to break me down
Well, a woman needs a friend who can love her and help her on the way
Well a woman, needs someone who can share with her the stars and make her laugh.
You are going to try, to find the perfect guy
Who can always call you "my sweetheart"
Then you will hang around, and you´ll go up and down
And come back home with empty and broken heart
Well, a woman needs a friend who can love her and help her on the way
Well a woman, needs someone who can share with her the stars and make her laugh.
But now I´ve found someone, his name´s Ramblin Matt
He´s not very smart but treats me right
And I just realized that in a woman´s life
There´s no place for lies and cheatin´hearts
Well, a woman needs a friend who can love her and help her on the way
Well a woman, needs someone who can share with her the stars and make her laugh.

BED BUG BLUES
Yeah, bed bug sure is evil, they don't mean me no good
Thinks he's a woodpecker and I'm a chunk of wood
When I lay down at night, I wonder how can a poor gal sleep
When I lay down at night, I wonder how can a poor gal sleep
When some is holding my hand, others eating my feet
Bed bug as big as a jackass1, will bite you and stand and grin
Bed bug as big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grin
Will drink all the bed bur for them turn around and bite you again
Something moan in the corner, I went over and see
Something moan in the corner, I went over and see
It was the bed bug a prayin', Lord, gimme some more cheese

SAME OLD YOU
So here you are
In your borrowed car
Kickin' rocks around
Lookin' at your shoes
It's the same old you
Tell me where you've been
Where you're goin' to
Where were you last night?
Boy listen up when I'm talkin to you
It's the same old you
Another lonely night
With that same old whiskey morning
It's the same old you
When you get to drinkin'
The same old you
When you're on the town
The same old you
In church on Sunday
Gettin' high when the sun goes down
Well this time I done some thinkin'
And I think I'm done with you
'Cause until I get to leavin'
It's just the same old me too
Well your mama's gunna cry her eyes
There ain't gonna be no wedding day
What's she gonna say?
When I tell her how I had no choice
Same old you couldn't even raise your voice
And ask me to stay , I wouldn't anyway
So you can keep your ring
And I can keep my daddy's name
It's the same old you
When you get to drinkin'
The same old you
When you're on the town
The same old you
In church on Sunday
Gettin' high when the sun goes down
This time I've done some thinkin'
And I think I'm done with you
'Cause until I get to leavin'
It's just same old me too
'Cause until I get to leavin'
It's just the same old me too

ROCKET IN MY POCKET
I got a rocket in my pocket and a roll in my walk
So, baby don't fuss me with that North Forty talk
There ain't nothing you can tell me I don't already know
I got a rocket in my pocket and I'm raring to go
A-Let's go some place so we can rock a bit
I got a rocket in my pocket and the fuse is lit
Well, two-in-one's polish and three-in-one's oil
A lot of lid-flipping makes my bad blood boil
I didn't come here to listen, so cut the scene
I got a rocket in my pocket and a roll in my jeans
Let's go some place so we can rock a bit
I got a rocket in my pocket and the fuse is lit
Well, better tune in and get my signal right
Or there'll be no rocking tomorrow night
Ain't nothing you can tell me I don't already know
I got a rocket in my pocket and I'm raring to go
A-let's go some place so we can rock a bit
I got a rocket in my pocket and the fuse is lit

PIRATE LOVE
Time runs very fast when I feel good
Tears turn into diamonds when I cry them for you
My bed is a like a boat drifting in the sea
Following the stars searching for you
I think I'm gonna keep floating on the waves
And see where I end up at
Maybe you're somewhere waiting for me
On an island with a chest under a palm tree
Alarm clock just rung it's time to wake up
I find myself dreaming with the deep blue sea
With my sheet as a flag of a pirate boat
And my pillow between my legs dripping form you
Alarm clock just rung my dream is over
It's hard to open my eyes
I wish I was a pirate with a patch in my eye
Or I wish that I was just blind
Then I'll see you everywhere I go
Now I know why they say love is blind
You know you're the captain of the boat nod my dreams
On an island with a chest under a palm tree

YOU WIN AGAIN
The news is out - all over town
That you've been seen - a-runnin' 'round
I know that I - should leave, but then
I just can't go - you win again.
This heart of mine - could never see
What ev'rybod - y knew but me
Just trusting you - was my great sin
What can I do - you win again.
I'm sorry for - your victim now
'Cause soon his head - like mine will bow
He'll give his heart - but all in vain
And someday say - you win again.
You have no heart - you have no shame
You take true love - and give the blame
I guess that I - should not complain
I love you still - you win again.

MORNING RAIN
There are times in the life of a man
When things get very hard to understand
When love turns into sorrow and joy turns to pain
And all you got is the sweet morning rain
Morning rain come and take away my pain
Morning rain dripping down my window frame
Like my teardrops keep-a-fallin, like the kisses that I´m blowing
To your health, your happiness and grace
Like th eknife cuts the butter on a tray
Like a lion drives its claws into a prey
Like a hammer on red iron, like a child´s hand on wet clay
Please rain on me and wash my blues away
Waitress come and sit with me tonight
Come and pour me some brown liquor into a dirty glass
Come and sing with me way downlow
Any old blues or a sad Hank Williams song
Morning comes and the wind makes me sway
As I´m walking and stumbling on the way
Ain´t no use in being mad, ain´t no gain on feeling low
So bring it on and let the good times roll
Waitress come and sit with me tonight
Come and pour me some brown liquor into a dirty glass
Come and sing with me way downlow
Any old blues or a sad Hank Williams song

HARD HEADED WOMAN
Well a hard headed woman,
a soft hearted man
been the cause of trouble
ever since the world began.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of man.
Now Adam told to Eve,
"Listen here to me,
don't you let me catch you
messin' round that apple tree."
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of man.
Now Samson told Delilah
loud and clear,
"Keep your cotton pickin' fingers
out my curly hair."
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of man.
I heard about a king
who was doin' swell
till he started playing
with that evil Jezebel.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man.
I got a woman,
a head like a rock.
If she ever went away
I'd cry around the clock.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of man.

TWO MORE BOTTLES OF WINE
We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had migtha set the west coast on fire
Two months later got trouble in mind
My baby moved out and left me behind
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
The way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like overnight she just up and put me down
Ain't gonna let it bother me today
I been workin' and I'm too tired anyway
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
Been doin' all I can but opportunity sure come slow
Lord I'd be in the sun all day
But I'm sweepin' out a warehouse in west L.A.
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

ASK THE DEVIL
I remember all those nights waiting for you to come back
And I know how much it hurt when no one even said your name
Still I know I´ll wait for you to come one day and ease my pain
To say "hi babe, I´m doing good", to show at least that you just care
I forgot how much it hurt, to live your dream as a nightmare
To change your pink dreams into blues, to be in love with what you hate
Still I know I´ll wait for you to come one day and ease my pain
To say "hi babe, I´m doing good", to show at least that you just care
Now I can only sing my song, and pray the Lord to set me free
And ask the Devil, if you are there, to make in hell a place for me

LOSING END
I went into town to see you
yesterday
but you were not home.
So I talked to some old friends
for a while
before I wandered off alone.
It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow,
Though I know I'll never be the same.
Won't you ever change your ways,
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end,
And I feel that way again.
Well, I miss you more than ever,
since you've gone
I can hardly maintain.
Things are different round here
every night,
my tears fall down like rain.
It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow,
Though I know I'll never be the same.
Won't you ever change your ways,
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end,
And I feel that way again.

RAMBLERS ROMANCE
I've been up and I've been down
Done my share of being round
From the green of Tennessee to the African blue sea
I've been busy with the business of being me
Been a broken man all my days
But what I own it's yours to take
Never knew very well what's the use of being a rich man
If your soul is full of greed and outta rest
This is a ramblers' romance, just a ramblers' romance
Alright, mmmmm
I've been high and also stoned
And I've drank whiskey til I drowned
I spent ten long years shooting brown shit down my gullet
And I made it half alive and mostly sound
Found redemption on the road
Playing my guitar everywhere I go
If you drop me a dollar I'll sing you a song, loose a hundred and you'll get me singing all night long
Up on a plane, down in a boat
On a train or walkin', limpin' or dragging myself out
Jumping oceans, flying mountains, crossing rivers, driving roads I learned myself how to be a rollin stone
This is a ramblers' romance, just a ramblers' romance

HOUSE OF THE BLUES
Mmm....Sometimes, brother
When you feel like a motherless child
Your piston seems to burn no steam
And you're running out of gas
There's a hole in your boot, cause you've been ramblin
Ever since you pawned your car
And it feels like years since the last time
You held a dollar in your hand
(Chorus)
And it feels like the heavens are falling over you
And there ain't a joint in town where your credit stills good
But if you have a heart that keeps on beating
We have a place for you
Come and join us in the house of the blues
(Guitar Lead)
And it's been three nights that you've been seen
Begging for a friend to pay you company
But the only one who hears you
Is that bottle of JD
There's a light that shines down the avenue
And the door is never closed for a guy like you
You can buy a dream for a buck or two
And you'll be the hero no matter what you do
(Chorus)
So if it feels like the heavens are falling over you
And there ain't a joint in town where your credit stills good
But if you have a heart that keeps on beating
We have a place for you
Come and join us in the house of the blues
But if you have a heart that keeps on beating
We have a place for you
Come and join us in the house of the blues
Come and join us in the house of the blues
Come and join us in the house of the blues
