Nobody loves you like i do, i am as good a sit get
Nobody loves you like I do, I'm just as good as I get
I can chop the wood from ,I'm the best damn fool that you ever met

When it come to living, I can make you sweat
When it come that funky funky loving, sure that I'm gonna make you sweat
I'm trying to cabbage in the caul of me, I'm the best damn fool that you ever met!

Yeah I'm a lovely babe, go ahead and plays your beg
Yeah I'm a lovely babe, go ahead and plays your beg
I can make you all woman yawn, I'm the best damn fool that you ever met

I'm the one and only, I'm the one man that you won't forget
I'm the one and only, (buddy guy lads) I'm the one man that you won't forget
I can make a full doll kiss a pussycat, I'm the best damn fool that you ever met

. . .


To Many Tears

Don't know what lead up to this
I don't have a clue
How did things get tangled up
I never meant to hurt you

You should have been there for me baby
standing right by my side
now things have changed and I've got to go
to many tears have been cried

to many tears, to many tears oh I've cried in vain, I've cried in vain
ooh to many tears, to many tears oh they drown just like rain oh to many tears

I've tried to be strong
I've tried to do you right
but you left me all alone
one to many nights

chorus

when I needed you the most
emptiness was all I got
I'm not gonna cry no more
I've shed my last teardrop

Lead

Everything is gonna be ok baby
both of us will survive
lets be thankful for the love we shared
and not for those tears that we cried

Chorus x2

lead and out

. . .


How could you stand there and tell me you love me
When you don't give a damn about yourself?
How could you stand there and tell me you love me
And woman, you don't give a damn about yourself?
You know if you really did, woman, you would be carrying on with someone else.

I want you to stop right there in your tracks, baby
Honey, don't you go no further.
I want you to stop right there in your tracks, woman
Honey, don't you go no further.
You know your lyin' just like a dog, and you standin' there lookin' just like another.

Oh, you keep wasting my time,
Honey, you running around all night long.
Oh, you keep wasting my time, I say
Honey, you running around all night.
If I fight like a dog all day long, honey, tell me when you're gonna bite.

Tonight, I might cut you loose
I think I found me another lover.
Tonight, I might cut you loose
'Cause I think I found myself another lover.
You're lyin' to me just like a dog, and you know you're looking just like another.

[Guitar Solo]

I'm sick an tired of all your lies, darlin'
Honey, you can go back to your mother.
I'm sick an tired of all your lies, darlin'
And honey, you can go back to your mother.
You're lyin' to me just like a dog, and you know you're looking just like another.

. . .


She said she liked to party
She, sure looked good
She said, let me show you what I got
Under my hood
She slid on over
And she, called me honey
She said, before you get a kiss [msss]
You got to show me the money

Show me the money
Don't be talking no trash
Only thing better than money is a
Pile of that cold hard cash

Took my baby out on the town
The other night
Drinking champagne in the
Candlelight
I told the waiter bring another bottle
For my honey
He said, before we pop the cork you got to
Show me the money

Show me the money
Don't be talking trash
Only thing better than money is a
Pile of that cold hard cash

On my way home
I stopped to catch the last call
I could hear the band jamming
The people was having a ball
The owner asked me
If I would sit in
I said, I ain't no dummy
Show me the money

Show me…
You know just what I mean
Don't be talkin trash
If you want the real deal now
Show me that cold hard cash

Show me the money
Show me the money
Show me the money
Show me the money

The only thing better than money is a
Pile of that cold hard cash

Somebody asked me, why I live the blues
I said the blues is all around me; I just find something I can use
And I feel it running through me, but I give it my heart and soul
I practice while I'm singing; let the feeling take control

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues

Might think about a woman and how she done me wrong
I might think about some hard times when I was barely hanging on
I might think about a brother who still can't make things be
Some fallin' sisters sellin' it on the street

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues

I find my inspiration in tears and desperation
Sad, sad stories we all know so well
Along with one more story to tell

Here I am another night; another town along the way
Room full of people say they wanna hear me play
Yes there was some hard times, my luck cannot survive
It takes a whole lot of livin; to make us all come alive

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues

. . .


I live out in the woods
People I got wolves' blood in my veins
I live way out in the woods
People you know I've got wolves' blood in my veins
Well you know the crocodiles and the foxes and the grizzles
They all know me by my name

When I was just a little boy
I used to play around with rattlesnakes
Well, when i was a little boy
I used to crawl around in the grass with rattlesnakes
Now I'm a full grown man
Alligators is my associates

Let me explain this

I still live way out in the woods
People you know I ain't afraid of nothin'
I live way out in the woods
An people you know I ain't afraid of nothin'
The bogeyman start runnin'
When he heard me commin'

I sleep with one eye open
And I don't ever leave no trail
Well yeah I sleep with one eye open
And I don't ever leave no trail
If you come into my woods
You just might, loose your tail

cause i love them tails
fox tails
pig tails

I've been around a while
I know wrong from right
And since a long time ago
Things been always black and white
Just like you can't judge a book by the cover
We all gotta be careful
How we treat one another

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same

A man in Louisiana
He never called me by my name
He said "boy do this and boy do that"
But I never once complained
I knew he had a good heart
But he just didn't understand
That I needed to be treated
Just like any other man

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same

I sat my little child down
when he was old enough to know
I said I fell in this big wide world
You're gonna be all kinda froze
I said son it all comes down to just one simple rule
That you treat everybody just the way
You want them to treat you
Yeah

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
Yeah

(Somebody got to help me ..)
Tell me who... who's gonna fill their shoes.. (know what I'm talking about)
Tell me who...who's gonna fill their shoes
They're the ones who made the blues
Who's gonna fill their shoes.. (That's what I need help about)

Down in the delta..Old sun house
Hard luck and trouble what he was singing about
Robert Johnson heard it .made it his own
He got it started .Now we got to carry on

Tell me who...who's gonna fill their shoes
They're the ones who made the blues
Who's gonna fill those big shoes

Muddy Waters...Howlin' Wolf...Willie Dixon.....Sonny Boy too
Little Walter...Otis Spann...Jimmy Reed I say ..Magic Sound
Tell me who.who's gonna fill those shoes
They're the ones who made the blues
Who's gonna fill those great big shoes... (Tell me)

BB 'n Albert..and Freddie their the King...they ruled the world by bending those guitar strings
Johnnie 'n Lightnin' and Stevie Ray.. Lord knows we got a debt to pay
Tell me who.who's gonna fill those big shoes. (Tell me)
They're the ones who made the blues
Who's gonna fill those shoes

Tell me who...who's gonna fill those shoes. (Tell me)
Tell me who...who's gonna fill those shoes.(That I'll be hard to do)
They're the ones who made the blues
Who's gonna fill those shoes

"Help Wanted" by Buddy Guy

Help wanted
You got a job if you qualify
Help wanted
You got a job if you qualify
My arms are open for you
All you've gotta do is just walk inside

I need me a woman
That is handy with love and kisses
Since I lost my baby
That's what I've been steady missin'
She gotta know
How to turn me on and off
And wantin' to please me
Each and every day
Tryin' (gonna heart ????? )
Each and every way

Help wanted
You got a job if you qualify, yes you have
Help wanted
You got a job if you qualify, yes you have
My arms are open to you
All you've gotta do is just walk inside

I need a foxy momma
Diggin' on me and me alone
I'll make her my queen
As long as she don't bitch and moan
I'm healthy, single and free
I got everything a woman needs
I romance you
Satisfaction is guaranteed

Help wanted
You got a job if you qualify
Help wanted
You got a job if you qualify, yes you have
My arms are open for you
All you've gotta do is just walk inside

'Cmon in girl
Ease on in on me baby
In won't hurt one bit
And she knows how to cook
And she knows to (rid a boy ????)
It doesn't matter how she look

Help wanted
You got a job if you qualify, yes you have
My arms are open for you…
