This A'way
I hate to be treated this a'way
I hate to be treated this a'way
Lord as my witness on this very day
Aint't gone be treated this a'way
I hate to be treated this a'way
I have to laugh to keep from cryin'
Have to laugh to keep from cryin'
Hold yo head up high
Tell me a bald face lie
I have to laugh to keep from cryin'
Lord as my witness on this very day
Ain't gone be treated this a'way
I hate to be treated this a'way
On a long old road don't never end
Long old road don't never end
Three white horses in a line
Looks like I'm goin for a ride
On the long old road don't never end
Goin' where the sun don't never shine
Hear my name ringing out
Ringing out down the line
Goin' where the sun don't never shine
Lord as my witness on this very day
Ain't gone be treated this a'way
I hate to be treated this a'way
There's a dark cloud following me down
Won't say a mumblin' word
Don't lay me in the cold, cold ground
There's a dark cloud following me down
Jumpercable Blues
Hey hey well well well
All y'all can go straight to hell
You've seen the last of me
Pissin' in your wishing well
Got woke up this morning
Went straight back to bed
Ain't got no jumpercables
and my car is dead
Hey hey well well well
All y'all can go straight to hell
You've seen the last of me
Pissin' in your wishing well
Baby go on get your jumpercables
Do believe I need a jump
I's got to be gettin' gone
and I can't start this piece of junk
Hey hey well well well
All y'all can go straight to hell
You've seen the last of me
Pissin' in your wishing well
I've lived my life on my own I'd do wrong
at the drop of a hat or the sing of a song
Hey hey well well well
All y'all can go straight to hell
Got woke up early this morning
Went straight back to bed
Someone called and woke me up
I've no recollection of what was said
Hey hey well well well
All y'all can go straight to hell
You've seen the last of me
Pissin' in your wishing well
Baby go on get your jumpercables
Do believe I need a jump
I's got to be gettin' gone
and I can't start this piece of junk

How I Wish My Train Would Come
So hard we struggle
It's hard to survive.
It's a struggle to stay alive.
Keep fightin' on
Til we arrive.
I try to believe.
I will be recieved.
Lord knows I'm ready to leave.
Deliver me.
I'm ready to leave.
Please deliver me.
How I wish my train would come.
Carry me back home.
How I wish my train would come.
As you can tell
I'm not from here.
Got to get the hell away from here.
Bid you all fare thee well.
Dark is the night.
Cold is the ground.
No one to call,
Friend can be found.
No one to lend a helpin' hand can be found.
No one gives a damn.
How I wish my train would come
and carry me back home.
The rain pouring down
from the heavens above,
It's cold as a mother's lost love.
Talk about trouble,
It's my only friend.
I can smell the trouble
blowin' in the wind.
Only thing I put my faith in.
I try to believe,
It's hard to believe,
There's a home out there for me.
Please deliver me, I'm ready to leave.
Please deliver me, I'm ready to leave.
Please deliver me, I'm ready to leave.
How I wish my train would come and carry me back home
How I wish my train would come and carry me back home
How I wish my train would come and carry me back home
How I wish my train would come and carry me back home
How I wish my train would come and carry me back home
How I wish my train would come and take me back home
Hear the Hills
The sun is sinking low
into the Mississippi
The shadow of death
darkens the valley
I have run
as far as I can
My days are done
Oh, come angel band
I can hear the hills calling out my name
Going up to Heaven for to stake my claim
Call me by thunder, call me by whispering pine
I have seen proof of God and I don't mind dying
I have the keys to the kingdom
granted passage to the road paved with gold
I have the keys to the Kingdom
Hear our forefathers telling tales of old
Going up the mountain
deep into the cave
Ride th emighty elephant
into the ocean's wave
See that forked lightning
jump from cloud to cloud
Hear that rollin' thunder
call my name out loud
I can hear the hills calling out my name
Going up to Heaven for to stake my claim
Call me by thunder, call me by whispering pine
I have seen proof of God and I don't mind dying
I have the keys to the kingdom
granted passage to the road paved with gold
I have the keys to the Kingdom
Hear our forefathers telling tales of old
Rest easy, partner
Your trouble shall now cease
Reat easy, partner
May you rest in peace
Rest in peace
I can hear the hills calling out my name
Going up to Heaven for to stake my claim
Call me by thunder, call me by whispering pine
I have seen proof of God and I don't mind dying
I have seen proof of God and I don't mind dying
I have seen proof of God and I don't mind dying
Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again
The bag man walks in circles up and down the block
I'd ask him what the matter is but you know that he don't talk
And the ladies treat him kindly as they furnish him with tea
But deep inside my heart babe, I know it cannot be
Oh mama, can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
There's an old queen in the alley behind the small hotel
Talking to some French girl who said she knew me well
I've got to listen closely to see if she spills the beans
Cuz he knows I know she knows they know
But we don't know what it means
Oh mama, can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
The cat girl said come see her in a honky tonk saloon
But I used to see her dance for free beneath the Panamanian moon
I said aw now cool it baby you know bout my debutante
She said she just knows what you need
But I know what you want
Oh mama, can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
The doctor gave me two choices, then said jump right in
One was Texas medicine, the other was railroad gin
Like a fool I mixed it and it scrambled up my mind
Now the people all get uglier
And I lost all track of time
Oh mama, can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Aw mama!
Let It Roll
Let it roll, good Lordy, let it roll
Let it roll, good Lordy, let it roll
There's a wheel in the sky keeps a'turnin' bye and bye
Let it roll, good Lordy, let it roll
Hear the death bells toll, good Lordy, hear them toll
Hear the death bells tone, Lord, hear them tome
and the wheel in the sky keeps a'turnin' bye and bye
Hear the death bells toll…
Bless your soul, good buddy, bless your soul
Bless your sould, good buddy, bless your soul
Your time has come along, may be dead but not gone
Bless your soul, good buddy…
Hear the lonesome whistle blowing, let it roll
Hear the lonesome whistle blowing, let it roll
As you board the final ride we bid you goodby
Glory train pulling out of the depot
Let it roll, good Lordy, let it roll
Let it roll, good Lordy, let it roll
Smiling down from the sky, from the home on high
Let it roll, good Lordy, let it roll
Ain't No Grave
Looked death dead in the eye as he passed me by
See you later, son, here for your father, come for you later son, here for your father
When the day comes death comes back my way
I would hope to be as brave as he was on Judgement Day
I would hope to be as brave as he was on Judgement Day
Ain't no grave hold his body down
Ain't no grave hold his body down
Ain't no grave hold his body down
Bless our dear mother, he was her heart
comes a time soul mates must part, been side by side from the start
She gave him strength to carry through
Face the one thing we all have to do
Face the in etheing we all have to do
I would hope to be as brave as he was on Judgement Day
Ain't no grave hold his body down
Ain't no grave hold his body down
Ain't no grave hold his body down
It has been my fortune to know tryuly great men
I've heard the music of the spheres, heard the music of the spheres
I am unrepentant, I have no fear
I've heard the music of the spheres
If I had my way he'd be here today to sit down at the piano and play
See him in the face of my newborn baby child
Wheel of time spiining in the sky
Baby girl looks me straight in the eye
I would hope to be as brave as he was on Judgement Day
Ain't no grave hold his body down
Ain't no grave hold his body down
Ain't no grave hold his body down
Ol' Cannonball
Hear that old Cannonball sound her lonesome horn
Hate to hear her weep 'n moan
Hear that old Cannonball sound her lonesome horn
Weep 'n moan, good God, weep 'n moan
Hear that old Cannonball sound her lonesome horn
Time for the old Cannonball to come barrelin' down on me
Roll me over, set the po' boy free
Old Cannonball barrel down on me
Set the poor boy free, good God, set the po' boy free
Roll me over, give my po' heart ease
Let the Cannonball barrel down on me
Hear that old Cannonball sound her lonesome horn
Hate to hear her weep 'n moan
Cannonball sound her lonesome horn
Weep 'n moan, po girl, weep 'n moan
For her man is dead and gone
Hate to hear a widow mourn
Cannonball sound her lonesome horn
Dead 'n gone, good God dead 'n gone
Can he hear her weep 'n moan?
Make you wish you never been born
to here the Cannonball sound her lonesome horn
Hear the old Cannonball sound her lonesome horn
Can he hear her weep 'n moan
Cannonball blow her lonesome horn
Can he hear her weep 'n moan
For her man is dead and gone
New Orleans Walkin' Dead
Opened my dead eyes and dug my way out the dirt
Broken heart beat no more, damned soul felt no hurt
Stumblin' down Tchoupitoulas, terrible sight to see
find that lowdown girl of mine put a silver bullet in po' me
Take her to my grave, lay her in my bed
It's a love story of the New Orleans walkin' dead
Found her down at the Hollow Point
Shakin' her ass for the homeys and smokin' a joint
She said, "What you doin' here? I shot you in the head?"
Told her, "You gone be my woman, livin' or dead."
Take you to my grave, lay you in my bed
It's a love story of the New Orleans walkin' dead
I choked her out quick and laid her over my shoulder
Spanked her dead ass and told her that I loved her
Carried that girl back to the burying ground
ripped off her clothes and laid her down
Took her to my grave, laid her in my bed
It's a love story of the New Orleans walkin' dead
Ain't None 'O Mine
Catch me peepin' thru your backdoor
Say you don't want me no more
Creep outside like we used to do
Let me have my way with you
Always on my worried mind
But you ain't none 'o mine
Ain't none 'o mine
You just my color, just my kind
But you ain't none 'o mine
Know you want to make love to me
Underneath the magnolia tree
Let me take you thru the piney wood
Let me make myself understood
Always on my worried mind
But you ain't none 'o mine
Ain't none 'o mine
You just my color, just my kind
But you ain't none 'o mine
Holla at yo midnight man
Let you scream it out best I can
Holla 'cross the bottom land
All night with yo midnight man
Always on my worried mind
But you ain't none 'o mine
Ain't none 'o mine
You just my color, just my kind
But you ain't none 'o mine
Jellyrollin' All Over Heaven
Lord had mercy on my sins
Opened the pearly gates and let me in
Slipped me thru on Judgement Day
When he heard the way I play
"Leanin' on the Everlasting Arm"
Jellyrollin' all over Heaven
Hear the guitars ring
Jellyrollin' all over Heaven
The piano player sings
"Heaven don't 'low no easyridin, we easyridin' anyhow
Love to see them sisters shakin' that Heavenly thing
I takes my time but I got in a hurry
Heard Charlie Freeman, Lee and Furry
Damndest sight I ever saw
Cut the pigeon wing to the Turkey in the Straw
Now I'm up in Heaven sittin' down
Strummin' my harp and shinin' my crown
Angels, they all gather round
When they hear that Earthly sound
"Just a Closer Walk With Thee"
Jellyrollin' all over Heaven
Hear the guitars ring
Jellyrollin' all over Heaven
The piano player sings
"Heaven don't 'low no easyridin, we easyridin' anyhow
Love to see them sisters shakin' that Heavenly thing
Got ol' Gabe blowin' his horn
Ol' man Mose pullin' out the corn
Angels jukin' and shakin' em down
Jellyroll got 'em liftin' de gowns
Jellyrollin' all over Heaven
Hear the guitars ring
Jellyrollin' all over Heaven
The piano player sings
"Heaven don't 'low no easyridin, we easyridin' anyhow
Love to see them sisters shakin' that Heavenly thing
