Aberdeen
(by Bukka White) recording of 1995, from Ledbetter Heights (Giant 24621)
I was over in Aberdeen,
on my way to New Orleans
I was over in Aberdeen,
on my way to New Orleans
Well them Aberdeen women told me,
they would give me my gasoline
Aberdeen is my home,
but they just don't want me around
Aberdeen is my home,
but they just don't want me around
I'm gonna take these women,
take them out this town
Well just look over yonder,
coming down the road
Well just look over yonder,
coming down the road
That must be my baby coming,
tell me she don't want me no more
Well there's too many women,
I ain't never seen
Well there's too many women,
I ain't never seen
I bring too many women,
back from New Orleans
I was standin' 'round cryin',
with my heart right in my hand
I was standin' 'round cryin',
with my heart right in my hand
I was lookin' for that woman,
one ain't got no man
Well just look over yonder,
where we used to live
Well just look over yonder,
where we used to live
Don't you know it's killing me baby,
how we can't live here no more
Well it's goodbye baby,
If I'm never gonna see you no more
Well it's goodbye baby,
if I'm never gonna see you no more
I'm gonna tell everybody you've been,
still knockin' at my door

Blue On Black
(by Kenny Wayne Shepherd/Mark Selby/Tia Sillers), recording of 1997, from Trouble Is (Revolution/Warner Brothers 24689)
Night, falls,
I'm alone
Skin, yeah,
chilled me to the bone
You, turned and you ran,
oh, slipped from the edge of my hand
Blue on black,
tears on a river
Push on a shove,
it don't mean much
Whisper on a scream,
doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black
Blind, oh,
now I see
truth, lies,
and in between
Wrong,
can't be undone
Slipped,
from the tip of your tongue
Blue on black,
tears on a river
Push on a shove,
it don't mean much
Whisper on a scream,
doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black

Born With A Broken Heart
(by Kenny Wayne Shepherd/Danny Tate), recording of 1995, from Ledbetter Heights (Giant 24621)
Up from the ashes, out of the flames
Keeps gettin' stronger, like a slow rollin' train
Watch it run
Oh, why do the good die young
Burnin' like a shootin' star
Born with a broken heart
Off in the distance, it was callin' my name
So I took me a ride, on that slow rollin' train
It still runs
But it seems that the good die young
Playin' on that sad guitar
Born with a broken heart
Burnin' like a shootin' star
Born with a broken heart
Seems it was over, before it begun
Killed by a bullet, from a six-string gun
Bang a drum
Oh, why do the good die young
Ridin' in a long black car
Born with a broken heart
Playin' on that sad guitar
Born with a broken heart
Burnin' like a shootin' star
Born with a broken heart

Deja Voodoo
(by Kenny Wayne Shepherd/Mark Selby/Tia Sillers), recording of 1995, from Ledbetter Heights (Giant 24621)
Needles in my heart, spell on my mind,
your powerful potion gets me every time
I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night,
your kiss burns, through my dreams
(Chorus:)
Here it comes again,
I don't stand a chance
Soul possession,
got me in a trance
Pullin' me back to you
Deja voodoo
Fire in the dark, pounding in my brain,
driven by the chant calling out my name
I toss and turn, I can't sleep,
your kiss burns, through my dreams
Needles in my heart, spell on my mind,
your powerful potion gets me every time
I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night,
your kiss burns, through my dreams
(Chorus:)
Here it comes again,
I don't stand a chance
Soul possession,
got me in a trance
Pullin' me back to you

Everybody Gets The Blues
(by Angel Michael), recording of 1995, from Ledbetter Heights (Giant 24621)
It don't matter if you're rich
It don't make no difference if you're poor
Simple things in life can make you mad to the core
It doesn't matter if you're young
Don't make no difference if you're old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach a pot of gold
Chorus:
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high
Well you work and you worry
Spend you life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Ain't no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high
Well you work and you worry
Spend you life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Don't matter if you're fat
Don't matter if you're thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Don't matter if you're black
Don't matter if you're white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high
Well you work and you worry
Spend you life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues

Everything Is Broken
Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken tools, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words Never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken
Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws
Broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath
Feel like you're chokin'
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling Bull frog croakin'
Everything is broken

You wanna go

Standing in the doorway

Who knows what I am gonna find
Every time it rains
If the rivers rise
You watch it all come down
See it in your eyes
It doesn't make a sound

I found love when I found you
When I look in your eyes, I know it's true
My life was lonely, broken and blue
Then I found love, when I found you
Once in a lifetime, that's how it feels
Something so good (so damn good)
How can it be real
Girl, when you touch me
You touch me through and through
I know I found love when I found you
Girl, you've got all of me
And I want you to know
There's nothin' in this crazy ol' world
Could make me wanna let you go
'Cause I found love when I found you
Every time I look into your eyes,
I know it's true Girl, when you touch me
You touch me through and through

I'm Leaving You (Commit A Crime)
(by Chester Burnett a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf), recording of 1995, from Ledbetter Heights (Giant 24621)
I'm leaving you, woman
Before I commit a crime
I'm leaving you, woman
Before I commit a crime
You tried so hard to kill me
But baby, it was not my time
You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
You're the evilest woman
I think I've ever seen
You mix my drink
With a can of Red Devil lye
You mix my drink
With a can of Red Devil lye
Then you sit right down
Watch me, hoping I might die

In 2 Deep
Everybody scatter
There's a madman on the run
Stumblin' through the wreckage
Like a blind man with a gun
Nowhere to hide
I'm in too deep
Can't see the light
'Cause I'm in too deep
Over my head
Caught up in a hurricane
That never seems to end
Hard to know the devil
When he looks like your best friend
Nowere to hide
I'm in too deep
Can't see the light
'Cause I'm in too deep
Over my head
Oh...I should have known
But I can't let go
'Cause I'm in too deep
Over my head
Over my head
Oh...someone call somebody
The asylum's under siege
Inmates took a hostage
I'll be damned if it's not me
Nowhere to hide
'Cause I'm in too deep
Bury the light
'Cause I'm in too deep
Can't see the light
In too deep
Bury the light
I'm in too deep
I'm over my head
Over my head

Walking broken bones

How deep that knife could go

Walkin' down King's Highway
With a brown paper bag in my hand
Nothin' else but the clothes I got on
But I ain't lookin' book I ain't lookin' back
Blame it on the midnight girl
And that wicked spell she cast
She pulled me in with them liquid eyes
Now I ain't looking back I ain't looking back
Oh what a tangled web she weaves I was losing my mind
Starin' down the barrel of a gun
It's just a matter of time

Last Goodbye
Before your rusted chains
Busted walls, barbed wire cage
Tried to hold me down
Time was just a fist of change
Tossed in the water just in case
You ever came around
I could lose myself
I could curse like hell
But I've lost the will to even try
If you ever doubt
Listen to the sound...no lies
This is my last goodbye
Pardon me if I appear
To see beyond the now and here
Try to save myself
I'm not the kind to pin the blame
But I can't take more on the same
Living on your shelf
I could lose myself
I could curse like hell
But I've lost the will to even try
If you ever doubt
Listen to the sound...no lies
This is my last goodbye
Door closes, another one opens
I feel the cold wind blowin'
Over me
Long gone but not forgotten
I might be lost
I might be finally free
Long before your rusted chains
Busted walls, barbed wire cage
Tried to hold me down
Time was just a fist of change
Tossed in the water just in case
You ever came around
I could lose myself
I could curse like hell
But I've lost the will to even try
If you ever doubt
Listen to the sound...no lies
This is my last goodbye
This is my last goodbye

When I fell for you, baby,

You use me, abuse me,

Let me up, baby, I've had enough

I love ya, I want ya,
just like I did before
I need ya, but if I leave ya,
it's 'cause I just can't take no more
Somehow you remember,
every little thing that I've done
So baby, I surrender,
I've lost and you have won
Let me up, baby, I've had enough
I love ya, I want ya,
just like I did before
I need ya, but if I leave ya,

Hello my friend
Can't sleep again
Got too much on my mind
It's half past 3
You're calling me
Just to make everything alright
Can't see the light
Heat of the night
Tired of feeling so wrong
Well, I've been there
And it's not fair
But you just gotta live...live on
Yeah, you gotta live on
Another day
Well, your luck is bound to change
It might be cold out
But you just hold out
The sun is gonna shine your way
I know it's true
I'm living proof
The road is hand and long
If I could find a way
I'd take your place
But, you just gotta live on
Oh, live on
You gotta live on
Oh, another day
Yeah, your luck is bound to change
It might be cold out
But you just hold out
The sun is gonna shine your way
I know it's true

Losing Kind
Just a stepping-stone
I'm just another old dirt road
I'm just another old dirt road
Yes, you walk on
It happens every time
Feels like I'm losing my mind
Just like a dirty game of eight ball
Set up and framed taking the fall
I've been taking the fall
For so long
You know it happens every time
Feel like I'm losing my mind
So close, almost
Ain't it my turn to win
I'd take, one break
Would that be such a sin
Would that be such a sin
So close, almost
Ain't it my turn to win
I'd take, one break
Would that be such a sin
I could make the bitter end
Be like a king snake shedding his skin
I would shed my skin
And move on
But it happens every time
Feels like I'm losing my mind

Feels like I'm losing my mind

And I thought maybe you could tell me why
Never mind
So long torn in all directions
Tossed and turned is how I am feeling
Tell you everything
All about what I've been dreamin'
Let go, domino, fall down, however I'm leavin'

Nothing To Do With Love
God we must be crazy
The whole world's been falling apart
I've never seen such suffering
Or so many broken hearts
And how people can hurt each other
Lord I swear by the stars above
Ain't got nothing to do with love
Ain't got nothing to do with love
You say you want my money
You wanna buy you a brand new car
You say you love me honey
I ain't seen to proof so far
'Cause the way you've been treaing me darling
Doin' things I never heard of
It ain't got nothing to do with love
It ain't got nothing to do with love
God we must be crazy
The whole world's been falling apart

Or so many broken hearts
How people can kill each other

It ain't got nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love...

One Foot On The Path

You say, "Come over baby, come talk to me"
Then you drive me so crazy,
I can't hardly see

I might just leave and not come back
I got one foot in your doorway,
I got one foot on the path
Well you beg me to stay,
then you order me to go
All this up and down,
is wear and tear on my soul
I'm wonderin' if our future,
is gonna look just like our past
I got one foot in your doorway,
I got one foot on the path
Now I love you, baby,
don't get me wrong
But this heart of mine,
may not be that strong
You got me on your line,
reel me in or throw me back
I got one foot in your doorway,
I got on foot on the path
You'd best thing about it, baby,
but don't take too long
If we can't get it right,

I can't wait forever,
for us to get this thing on track

Riverside
(by Kevin Bowe), recording of 1995, from Ledbetter Heights (Giant 24621)
Seen her get up, seen her go down,
down to the riverside
Seen her jump into the river and drown,
down to the riverside
People do just what they will,
don't matter to the river, it's running still
Sun come up, sun go down,
down to the riverside
Sun jump into the river and drown,
down to the riverside
Every day just like the last,
we sit and watch the water pass
Came a day the built a bridge,
down to the riverside
Over the way, on top of the ridge,
down to the riverside
Built a bridge for people to cross,
but every other day, someone jumping off
You might think some boys they got it made,
down to the riverside
They got the money and the women and a place in the shade,
down to the riverside
That ain't no way to ease the pain,
can't listen to the river when it calls your name

Oh, I did my time baby
And I still want you here with me

Still got a shotgun in my hands
But I'm afriad to come inside

When the night rolls in
Something happens that feels so strong
And I just can't pretend
Don't you wonder what's goin' on

Something happens that feels strong
And it'll happen again

But I know you would regret it

Do you think you could forget it
Gonna happen someday

Where do you go after midnight,
when all the doors should be closed
Your alibis just don’t sound right,
I asked but nobody knows
Then you look me in the eyes,
and make it sound so very nice
With your true lies
Someone’s been sleepin’ in my bed,
this room don’t smell like you and me
Someone’s been sneakin’ out the window,
do you think I’m too blind too see
When you look me in the eyes,
and make it sound so very nice
With your true lies,
it was a clever disguise
But, girl I’m gettin’ wise,
to your true lies
Well, you been doin’ this so long now,
you’re thinkin’ it’s the truth
I guess it don’t seem so wrong if it,
ain’t bein’ done to you
Gotta lot to learn, baby,
you can’t keep it down
When the word gets in the wind,
then it’s bound to blow back around
Girl, can you give me a reason,
I bet you don’t know even know why
‘Cause I can’t figure out what you’re thinkin’,
or what is your tiyn’ to justify
When you look me in the eyes,
and make it sound so very nice
With your true lies,
it was a clever disguise
But, girl I’m gettin’ wise,
to your true lies
Yeah, you can laugh, you can cry,
but, girl, I just can’t buy,
your true, true lies

What's Goin' Down
(by Kenny Wayne Shepherd/Joe Nadeau), recording of 1995, from Ledbetter Heights (Giant 24621)
Time's a wastin' now
And I ain't got no more time to play
Everything is changin' now
Pretty soon it's all gone away
Can we make the changes now
You know there's no other way
Now's the time, the time is now
It's not the why, it's just the how
(Chorus:)
Have you looked around my friend
And really seen what's goin' down
Take a look into the sky
And lay your hand upon the ground
It is of you good neighbor
I ask a lifelong favor
It is my faith I put in you
Can we make the changes now
You know there's no other way
Now's the time, the time is now
It's not the why, it's just the how
(Chorus:)
Have you looked around my friend
And really seen what's goin' down
Take a look into the sky
And lay your hand upon the ground
It is of you good neighbor
I ask a lifelong favor
It is my faith I put in you

Where was I
Staring out the window
Watching the night turn into day
It's 4 in the morning
I've got so many things to say
I've been out here in the darkness
With shadows all around
Where was I before you came around
Standing in a phone booth
Lord I'm watching the rain fall down
Don't know where I'm going
Don't even know the name of this town
I've been stranded in the spotlight
Like a king wtithout a crown
Where was I before you came around
I was lonely, I was on my own
I was drifting, no place to call home
Now I'm stronger
Where would I be
Without you lovin' me
I was lonely, on my own
I was drifting, no place to call home
Now I am stronger, where would I be
Without you lovin' me
Oh, staring out the window
I've heard you say it's gonna be alright
These words from you girl
I can make it through another night
I need someone to believe in
I was lost I was found
You give me someone to believe in
Where was I before you came around
You give me someone to believe in
Where was I before you came around

Wild Love
Lightning in a bottle
Held it in my hand
Pushing down the throttle
I drink and try again
Baby I'm addicted
I just can't get enough
Build a wall around me
I will rise above
No one makes me feel the way
Feel the way you do
No one else could make me say
Say these things to you
I feel something kind of dangerous
I wish I knew what it
Babe let's get together
Get together for some
Wild love
Wild love
Going off the deep end
You got me hypnotized
First you took my sanity
Now you want my pride
Girl I want to see you
See you in the flesh
I'm out her on a wire
And they're cutting down the nets
No one makes me feel the way
Feel the way you do
No one else could make me say
Say these things to you
I feel something kind of dangerous
I wish I knew what it was
Babe let's get together
Get together for some
Wild love
Wild love
Oh, I said it don't take long
But I just can't wait
Until the feeling's gone
Oh...yeah
I don't mean to scare you baby
Or try to push you away
Something's got a hold on me
And it's going all the way
No one makes me feel the way
Feel the way you do
No one else could make me say
Say these things to you
I feel something kind of dangerous
I wish I knew what it was
Babe let's get together
Get together for some
Wild love
Wild love

You Should Know Better
Who's that sneaking
Around behind my back door
Is that you coming back
To do what you did before
One wrong move will surely
Get you caught in the act
That's a fact
You should know better
You should know better than that
You come home on that stuff
Does he know where you've been
Do you tell him you've been working
Or just hanging out with your friends
Baby one wrong friend will surely
Get you caught in the act
That's a fact
You should know better
You should know better than that
You should know better than that
You should know better
When you gonna learn, pretty baby
When you gonna learn
That it all comes back
You get burned when you play with fire
And you should know better than that
Oh yeah, somebody whispers something
Someone else turns it around
Pretty soon there's a rumour flying
It's getting all over the town
It's a sticky little situation
You've been putting me in
'Cause I like what you do
I just know how the story ends
One wrong move
Gets you caught in the act, that's a fact
You should know better
You should know better than that
You should know better
You should know better
