(Ellis McDaniels/Smith)

I can tell 'cos it's plain to see
I can tell the way you look at me
The way that you smile when you hold my hand
I know pretty baby 'cos I understand

I can tell
I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

Gonna tell your mama
Gonna tell your papa too
Just what more can a good man do
You been running round with Joey Brown
I know pretty baby that you put me down

I can tell
I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

I called you up on the phone
Strange voice tells me you're not at home
Your mama told me you know you can wait
When you show up you know your draggin' real late

I can tell
I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

. . .


(Wilko Johnson/Mick Green)

I wanna live the way I like
Sleep all the morning
Goin' get my fun at night
Things ain't like that here
Workin' just to keep my payments clear
I bought a brand new motor

And I'm waitin' for a loan
So I can fill her up and start her
Then I'm going back home

I got a girl a man's best friend
I'd have her now if she'd just come back again
But she left me in the fog
Told me that I treat her like a dog
The last time that I saw her she was buryin' a bone
I'm tired of whistlin' for her

Then I'm going back home

Old Johnny Green he asked me in
We watched his TV and we drank a little gin
Then I float on down the street
Smilin' at the faces that I meet
That was back this morning
Now I'm dizzy sick and stoned
When the world stops turning
Then I'm going back home

. . .


(Wilko Johnson)

KEY: Emaj

Back in the night I lay down by your fireside
Back in the night you shook me like a landslide
I nearly missed the early shift
Dreamin' in the morning 'bout the things we did

Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Beneath your love light

I woke up on the floor, I asked you for some breakfast
You shoved me out the door, I jumped on to the late bus
I got to smile, I like your style
You put me out this morning but you know that I'll be

Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Beneath your love light

The days go by so slow, I feel just like I'm dying
Stop work whistle blow and then I start reviving
Across your yard, beneath the stars
I made it thru another day and here we are

Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Beneath your love light

. . .


(Wilko Johnson)

I'm an easy going kind of man
I really am
But I can tell there's trouble close at hand
You know I can
Heard your name in town
You've been walking round
Acting like a clown
Then I'll understand
That you've got

Another man (8 x)

You can stay out anytime at night
Do what you like
Even come spoiling for a fight
But thats alright
I keep my cool before
But I just can't take no more
When I hear my best friend talking behind his hand
All about

Another man (8 x)

- Guitar Break -

I know you can rock me on the floor
Til I get sore
But just one of those little smiles of yours
And I want more
You got plenty of the things your daddy loves
But there's one thing that you've got that I just won't stand
I'm talking about

Another man (7 x)
Another man
Another man
Another man

(Morganfield)

I roll and I tumble, cried the whole night long
Yes I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long
I got up this morning, feeling that something going on wrong

Well now want you to love me baby, or please let me be
Yes love me baby, or please let me be
If you don't like my peaches please don't shake my tree

Well I want you to love me baby, and come on and say you'll be mine
I want you to love me baby, come and say you'll be mine
If you don't like my potatoes, please don't dig up my vine

. . .


(Wilko Johnson)

I'll get nervous when we meet
You look so young and sweet
You're taking time off school
Oh angel keep it cool

He worries so
Don't let your daddy know

I think the time is right
To take you out tonight
I can't call at your door
What if the neighbour saw

One thing just before I go
Don't let your daddy know

- Break -

Before I knew your name
I loved you just the same
I love you still I do
It's a secret between us two

He might not dig it so
Don't let your daddy know

Don't let your daddy know
Don't let your daddy know
Don't let your daddy know
Don't let your daddy know

He might not dig it so
Don't let your daddy know

. . .


(Parker)

You better take it easy baby
Before you go away
You keep me worried
And you get yours one day
Watch your step (4 x)
Keep your eyes wide open
Cos you'll be hurtin' down inside

You better leave me all your money
Before you go away
Don't think I'm falling for it
All I gotta say is
Watch your step (4 x)
Cos when you take your love from me
Be full of misery

I'm gonna miss your loving every night
Get myself together
I'm gonna be alright
Watch your step (4 x)
When you sneak up by my side
I'm gonna say 'Go somewhere and hide'

. . .


I can't lose with the stuff I use (Don't you just know it)
Baby don't believe how a true love should (Don't you just know it)

Chorus: Ah ha ha ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Hey-eh-oh (hey-eh-oh)
Goomba-goomba-goomba-goomba (goomba-goomba-goomba-goomba)
Ah ha ha ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Ah ha ha ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Hey-eh-oh (hey-eh-oh)

Hey pretty baby can we go strolling (Don't you just know it)
You gotta be rockin' when I wanna be rollin' (Don't you just know it)

Ah ha ha ha ...

Baby baby you're my blue heaven (Don't you just know it)
You got me pushin' when I wanna be shoving (Don't you just know it)

Ah ha ha ha...

Ah ha ha ha...

The older the woman the more she teases (Don't you just know it)
The younger the woman the tighter she squeezes (Don't you just know it)

Ah ha ha ha...
Ah ha ha ha...

On July second, 1953,
I was serving time for armed robbery
'Bout four in the morning
I was sleepin' in my cell
I heard a whistle blow
I heard somebody yell

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine

The trouble started in cell block number four
It spread like fire across the prison floor
I said "Come on boys, get ready to run -
Here comes the warden with a tommy gun"

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine

The warden said
"Come out with your hands up in the air
If you don't stop this riot (or: You gonna start a riot ???)
You're all gonna get the chair"
Scarface Jones said, "It's too late to quit
And pass the dynamite, 'cause the fuse is lit"

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine

The ninety-second hour
The tear gas got our men
Crawled in our cells
But every now and then...

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine

. . .


Ever since the day I met you baby
I'll believe I had a hold on you
Any where you go
I'll be watching over everything that you do
I ain't lying I say you can't leave me

'Cause you're mine

Know it's gonna last forever baby
I'll believe that we will never part
Everything I said
You can't forget because it's written on your heart
Each and every time your heart beats you remember

That you're mine

Doesn't matter where you run to baby
Doesn't matter where you try and hide
Sooner or later loneliness is gonna drag you back to my side
There ain't no use in trying
Might as well give up

Because you're mine

. . .


Girls if your heart is feeling sore
Call the doctor and he'll fix it for sure
I'll be over right away but you might find you have to pay
For a private consultation and a guaranteed cure

When you're dying of a dreadful disease
You don't worry 'bout the medical fees
And it's too late to change your mind the doctors pulling down the blind
And your temperature is rising to a hundred degrees

I'll cuddle up beside you for a start
And listen to the beating of your heart
And then he'll take you gently by the hand
And ask you when the trouble first began
And then he'll look down deep into your eyes
And if your temperature continues to rise
There's only one way to make it stop
I'll have to prescribe the strongest medicine I've got

If this doesn't cure you it'll kill
But I know it's going to give you a thrill
And now I've come across don't complain about the cost
You shouldn't call the doctor if you can't afford the bills

I'll cuddle up beside you for a start
And listen to the beating of your heart
And then he'll take you gently by the hand
And ask you when the trouble first began
And then he'll look down deep into your eyes
And if your temperature continues to rise
There's only one way to make it stop
I'll have to prescribe the strongest medicine I've got

If this doesn't cure you it'll kill
But I know it's going to give you a thrill
And now I've come across don't complain about the cost
You shouldn't call the doctor if you can't afford the bills
