Walking By Myself

(written By James A. Lane)

Walkin' by myself, I hope you'll understand

I just walk to be your lovin' man

I love you, yes, I love you with all my heart and soul

I wouldn't mistreat you for my weight in gold

You know I love you, you know it's true

Give you all my lovin', what more can I do

Walkin' by myself, I hope you'll understand

I just walk to be your lovin' man

You know I love you, you know it's true

Give you all my, what more can I do

I'm walkin' by myself, I hope you'll understand

I just walk to be your lovin' man

Yeah, I just walk to be your lovin' man

Try again now

Serious as a heart attack

(Written By - Johnny Winter)

Hear me talking to ya baby

I'm serious as a heart attack

If you don't stop the thing's you're doin'

I'm gonna turn your blue eyes black

You never stay at home and you

Keep your business in the street

You don't do no dirty clothes and there's

Never nothin' here to eat

Well girl this love affair is

Pretty close to ruin

Every time I try and do ya - ooh

You say nothin' doin'

REFRAIN

You're the kind of woman

Would feel right at home in hell

Ya stick me with a pitchfork

Just to hear me yell

REFRAIN

ROLLIN' AND TUMBLIN'

Well I roll and tumble

Brother all night long

Well I roll and tumble

Brother all night long

Well I woke up this morning

All my thrill was gone

Well I know my baby

She got a red dress on, yeah baby

Well I know my baby

She got a red dress on

When the sun goes up now

I tumble walking out

Well when I blow that whistle

She comes running down

Well when I blow that wistle

She comes running down

Oh I can hear them talking

With my baby there

Mean Town Blues

Lord my mother she done told me

and my father done told me

My father told me too

Yeah my mother she done told me

and my father done told me

My father told me too

It's a mean old town to live in by yourself

Yeah work for a dollar or several thousand

Could not save a dime

You know I worked for a dollar,

or several thousand

Man couldn't save a dime

Ain't nobody worried and there isn't

nobodys crying

Yeah I got my hands outside to get a hold on

Try to get some of my cash

Lord I try to get my hands outside

to get a hold on

Try to get some of my cash

It's those great big smiles to keep us

out of that trash

So I packed up my suitcase

and I move on down

Hit that lonesome road

You know I packed up my suitcase

and I hit that lonesome

Move on down

I'm still crying to make it when

the day was done

Hustled Down In Texas

(Written By - Johnny Winter)

You know I hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too.

Well! hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too.

You know wouldn't nobody let me do what I want to do.

You know I travel 'round in Georgia. I made the southern scene.

I traveled 'round in Georgia. I made the southern scene.

Just trying to find somebody, a friend who's deal was clean.

Use me for your fool. Sign on the dotted line. Don't ask questions,stupid, cause your southern can is mine.

Hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too.

Wouldn't nobody let me do what I want to do.

Ahhh baby, don't try jiving me no more

Ahhh baby baby, don't try jiving no more

Cause I'm hip to your jiving, down the road I go

Listen to me people. Try to understand. Can't get good from evil, so do the best you can.

I want to tell you people. Please try to understand. You know you can't get good from evil so do the best you can.

You know I hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too.

Yeah! hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too.

Wouldn't nobody let me do what I want to do.
