Times they ain't like nothing they used to be. From Rocky mountain to Northeast Tennessee. Where the river flows with a dusty cold disease. And the babies whine 'cause they can't find nothing to eat.
Well don't you never let no woman rule your mind. Don't you never let no woman rule your mind. Well she'll leave you troubled, worried all the time. .
Were you there when the man. From Atlanta was murdered in Memphis?. Did you see him layin' at the Lorraine motel?. Did you hear them say that the CIA is witness.
When a man has got the blues and feels discouraged. And has nothing else but trouble all his life. But he's just an honest man like any other. Living in a world that's tearing at his mind.
You can't blame a thief for stealing wallets. That's just what they do. Can't blame Mary for stealing hearts. When you taste her barbecue. . She got a brisket nice and tender.
I just heard the awful news. I could steer around the rocks. But they're bustin' down the docks. . James River blues. That train came on through. And the world's gotten slow.
While the traveling through this big iron world. It'll sometimes ask of you. To give advice at certain times. And tell folks what to do. . Well, at this time, I'm gonna tell you.
Driving rain, narrow shoulder. Break down lane, marching forward. Gone where I do not know. One eye on the open road. Stepping out in the great unknown with a highway halo.
Party of the century, no cops allowed. Just me and seven hundred others. Come on, join the crowd. . We got wine, whiskey, women and guns. How can you afford to not be having any fun.
I hear the crying of the hungry in the deserts where they're wandering.. Hear them crying out for heaven's own benevolence upon them.. Hear destructive power prevailing, I hear fools falsely hailing..
Well, I met her on the corner of Broadway. Said she'd seen me coming for a mile. Guess I should of known she was troubled. By the hoodwink in her eye.
Lyrics -. Writer: (Traditional). Album: Eutaw. Thanks to: SofaKing; Molly; Jamie. . Well she tore my clothes. She swelled my head. So goodbye booze i'm goin to bed.
You told me one. You told me two. You told me ten thousand lies, little girl. You told me ten thousand lies. Well you told me more lies. Than stars in the sky.
Living on bread and wine was easy. for John and James and Mother Mary. and I'm no saint and that's my ball and chain. . Cause when I'm passed that silver challis.
Well, if you want it, God's got it. He's got everything you need. He's got everything you need. He's got everything you need. He got every, everything a poor man need.
To Winnipeg, Saskatoon. Eutaw, Wawa, empty room. Hidin' bags, rollin' smokes. Skippin' punchlines, crackin' jokes. . So pour it on, toss it back. Play that cocaine, play that shack.
Well I swear your perfume babe is made out of turnip greens. Every time I kiss you girl it tastes like pork and beans. Even though you're wearing those uptown high heels.
In the alley dogs are barking, chickens crowing down the lane. And I feel just like that rooster and his mournful old refrain. With sun down on my shoulders just a hangin round the yard.
They say you were born in St. Claire's hospital. I say you were born up in the sky. You come floatin' down over New Orleans. To the sweet green levee on the river side.
Cc Rider, see what you gone done. Cc Rider, see what you gone done. Cc Rider, see what you gone done. Well hey, hey, hey, hey. . Well, you made me love you, now your man done come.
