Muddy - Lyrics
Blues Before Sunrise
(Written by Leroy Carr)
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes
It was a miserable feeling, now babe,
A feeling I do despise
I have to leave, leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong
I have to leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling
And break up my happy home
I'm gonna leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone
I'm gonna leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling,
Because you know you done me wrong
Well now goodbye, goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day
Well now goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day
You can go ahead now little darling,
'Cause I want you to have your way
Cold Up North
(Written by Muddy Waters)
It's so cold up north, that a bird can hardly fly
Well it's so cold up north, that a bird can hardly fly
Now you know I'm goin' back down south, let this winter pass on by
Well I know my baby, don't know what a shape I'm in
Yeah I know my baby, she don't know what a shape I'm in
Now you know I ain't had me no lovin', people you know I ain't got no friend
Hmmm mmmm
Hmmm mmmm
Now you know I ain't had me no lovin', people you know ain't got no friend
Well I believe I go, further down the road
Yeah I believe I go, further down the road
Now you know I done stayed over here in Switzerland, people you know I done almost froze
Well if I could hold, hold my heart in my hand
Yeah if I could hold, hold my heart in my hand
You know I would show you pretty girls, just how to treat your man
Crosseyed Cat
(Written by Muddy Waters)
Yeah I'm so sorry,
I got to leave my woman alone
Yeah I'm so sorry,
I got to leave my woman alone
Well you know she got a crosseyed cat,
livin' without that man in her home
Every time I start to see this woman,
he's in the corner growlin' or layin' down
Every time I start to see this woman,
he's in the corner growlin' or layin' down
Yeah, you know he's too big to be a house cat,
and he's too small to be a lion
There's somethin' wrong
Yeah, I stop by my baby's house,
he start jumpin' from wall to wall
Yeah, I stop by my baby's house,
he start jumpin' from wall to wall
Then he's lookin' crosseyed at me,
sit back in the corner and licked his paw
Yeah, my woman got a crosseyed cat,
livin' there with her in her home
Yeah, my woman got a crosseyed cat,
livin' there with her in her home
You know I try so hard to do her right,
but it seem like everything I do is wrong
Five Long Years
(Written by Eddie Boyd)
Have you ever been mistreated, and you know what I'm talkin' about
Have you ever been mistreated, and you know what I'm talkin' about
Now you know I work five long years for one woman,
she had the nerve to put me out
I finally learned a lesson, you know a long long time ago
I finally learned a lesson, you know a long long time ago
The next woman that I marry, she got to work and bring me some dough
Yes I been mistreated, you know what I'm talkin' about
Yes I been mistreated, you know what I'm talkin' about
Now you know I work five long years for one woman,
she had the nerve to put me out
She had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
Got My Mojo Working
(Written by Muddy Waters)
Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you
Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you
I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do
I'm going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm gonna have all you women right here at my command
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you
Play on!
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working, but it - uh uh - just won't work on you
I Can't Be Satisfied
(Written by Muddy Waters)
Well I'm goin' away to leave
Won't be back no more
Goin' back down south, child
Don't you want to go?
Woman I'm troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well baby I just can't be satisfied
And I just can't keep from cryin'
Well I feel like snappin'
Pistol in your face
I'm gonna let some graveyard
Lord be your resting place
Woman I'm troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well baby I can never be satisfied
And I just can't keep from cryin'
Well now all in my sleep
Hear my doorbell ring
Looking for my baby
I couldn't see not a doggone thing
Woman I was troubled, I was all worried in mind
Well honey I could never be satisfied
And I just couldn't keep from cryin'
Well I know my little old baby
She gonna jump and shout
That old train be late man, Lord
And I come walking out
I be troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well honey ain't no way in the world could we be satisfied
And I just can't keep from crying
Rollin' And Tumblin'
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long
Well, I woke up this mornin', didn't know right from wrong
Well, I told my baby, before I left that town
Well, I told my baby, before I left that town
Well, don't you let nobody, tear my barrelhouse down
Well, ahh, mmm-hmmm, owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh
Aaa, mmm-hmmm, oww, oh oh oh owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh
Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck
Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck
Well, I would dive to the bottom, never would I come up
Well, I could a had a religion, this bad old thing instead
Well, I could a had a religion, this bad old thing instead
Well, all whiskey and women, would not let me pray
Rollin' Stone
(Written by Muddy Waters)
Well, I wish I was a catfish,
swimmin in a oh, deep, blue sea
I would have all you good lookin women,
fishin, fishin after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Oh 'nough, oh 'nough, sure 'nough
I went to my baby's house,
and I sit down oh, on her steps.
She said, "Now, come on in now, Muddy
You know, my husband just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left"
Sure 'nough, oh well, oh well
Well, my mother told my father,
just before hmmm, I was born,
"I got a boy child's comin,
He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin stone,
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone"
Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a
Well, I feel, yes I feel,
feel that I could lay down oh, time ain't long
I'm gonna catch the first thing smokin,
back, back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Sure 'nough back, sure 'nough back
They Call Me Muddy Waters
(Written by Muddy Waters)
They call me Muddy Water, I'm just as restless man as the deep blue sea
Oh yeah, they call me Muddy Water, I'm just as restless man as the deep blue sea
You know I've been like that, ever since my baby been gone from me
The night she left me, you know the rain boy was pouring down
Oh yeah, the night the little girl left me, you know the rain was pouring down
You know I was the most bluest man, in this whole Chicago town
I got a brand new babe, she just as sweet man as a girl can be
Oh Lord I got a brand new girl, she just as sweet man as a apple on a tree
I wanna tell all you people, how the little child been sending me
