CRAZY BLUES
no way to get along
from "that's no way to get along" by Robert Wilkins
tell my mama
im goin home
these low down women
treat your poor son wrong
these low down women treat your poor son wrong
these low down women treat your poor son wrong
and that's no way to get along
they treated me
like my poor heart
was made of rock
or made of stone
treated me like my heart was made of stone
treated me like my heart was made of stone
and that's no way to get along
stood out on the road
all by myself
i cried alone
all by myself
stood on the roadside and cried all by myself
stood on the roadside and cried all by myself
and that's no way to get along
complicated woman
I got a complicated woman - keeps me guessing all the time
I never know just what she's thinkin'
but I know that she is mine
--
well the wind may be howlin the rain is fallin down
yeah the wind may be howlin the rain is fallin down
but I know my baby loves me -- yeah I got the soundest deal in town
--
she bring coffee in the morning - bring me lovin all the time
never know just what she thinkin but I know that woman's mine
yeah I know she s mine
the thing
might have a little education - that's better than gold
you might have a little money - for when you get old
but I'll tell bout the thing
only thing you needyou need
--
you might like a little tipple - you take what you can get
you might have a little habit you don't wanna admit
but here's the thing
the thing that you need
--
you need a little boogie woogie to let your boogie man loose
a little rock n roll for your dancin' shoes
that's the thing that I'm talkin bout - that you don't wanna lose
cos you gotta get rhythm when you get the blues
stretch
when you step outside your bubble you might feel uncomfortable
or once you're outside your zone - you might find yourself at home
mm..
and being an assertive man you activate your master plan
take a tip from a lazy cat
yawn and just lean back and
stretch
well..
when you think you've reached your limit you might find there's more stretch left in it c'mon..
yeah .. c'mon and stretch.. stretch yourself
rain
well I'm goin to the country
do you wanna go?
looks like rain - maybe it looks like snow
yeah and the rain's gonna fall on the field by the old hedgerow --
and I looked to the weather - I looked to the west
maybe I'd better pay attention to the way I'm dressed
yeah a storm is comin and - it looks like an awful mess --
and I looked to the river - what did I see?
they need a whole lotta things there but baby they don't need me
and the rain is fallin -the rain is all I see..
