Further On Up The Road
Further on up the road
Somebody’s gonna hurt you like you hurt me 2x
Further on up the road
Baby you just wait and see. [stop]
You got to reap just what you sew
I know that old saying is true 2x
Like you mistreat your baby
Your baby’s gonna mistreat you
Cho: Further on up the road 5x
Baby you just wait and see.
Now you’re laughin pretty baby
Someday you’re gonna be cryin 2x
Further on up the road
You’ll find out I wasn’t lyin [stop]
Further on up the road
When you’re all alone and blue 2x
You’re gonna want me back baby
But I’ll have somebody new
Cho:
Caledonia
Walkin with my baby she got great big feet
She’s long lean and lanky ain’t had nothin to eat
But she’s my baby I love her just the same
I’m crazy ‘bout the girl Caledonia is her name
Now my mother told me she said “Tom you leave that girl Caledonia
alone.
You know she just ain’t no good for you
She come from the wrong folks in the wrong part of town
I said mama you don’t know what this gals putting down
I love her I need her I ain’t never gonna leave her
Cho: Caledonia, Caledonia
You’re what make my big head so hard
I love her I love her just the same
I’m crazy ‘bout the girl Caledonia is her name.
Walkin with my baby she got great big feet
She’s long lean and lanky ain’t had nothin to eat
But she’s my baby I love her just the same
I’m crazy ‘bout the girl Caledonia is her name
Cho: Caledonia, Caledonia
You’re what make my big head so hard
I love her I love her just the same
I’m crazy ‘bout the girl Caledonia is her name.
Flip, Flop and Fly
Now when I get the blues I get me a rocking chair 2x
And if the blues overtake me I rock right away from there.
Now when I get lonesome I get on the telephone 2x
I call my baby tell her I’m on my way back home.
Cho: Flip, flop and fly. I don’t care if I die. 2x
Don’t ever leave me. Don’t ever say goodbye. [stop]
Give me one good kiss hold it a long, long time. 2x
Hold that kiss until I feel it in my head like wine.
Cho:
Like a Mississippi bull frog sittin on a hollow stump 2x
I got so many women I don’t know which way to jump.
Cho: to end
Boppin With The Blues
I used to have a girl I loved her so
Someone caught her eye and she left me cold
It hurt so bad I thought I’d die
Now I feel fine I want to tell you why
Cho: I’m boppin with the blues,
You know I’m boppin with the blues,
I’m Boppin with the blues
Boppin make me feel all right
I used to spend my nights all alone at home
Cryin as I sat by my telephone
Now I sing the blues but it’s out of sight
My telephone’s ringin both day and night
Cho: I’m boppin with the blues,
Yeah I’m boppin with the blues,
You know I’m boppin with the blues
Boppin make me feel all right
When I hear the blues on the radio
Or blowin late at night on a TV show
I want to stay a little longer I can’t get enough
One more time I like the real hot stuff
Cho: Boppin with the blues [answers]
I’m boppin with the blues
You know I’m boppin with the blues
Boppin with the blues
Boppin with the blues make me feel all right
Boppin with the blues
Poppin with the blues
I’m hoppin on the blues
There ain’t no stopping with the blues
I’m boppin with the blues
Boppin make me feel 3x
Scat
I’m boppin with the blues
Nothin make me feel so fine
He Knows The Rules
I met a girl last night that I wanted to love
Let me tell you man, what a fool I was
I took her home just like she were 21
When I got there her mother said “I’m sorry, Tom”
Cho: I said, “Oh, oh, oh, please let me explain”
She said, “When you see the judge, you can tell him everything”.
The girl looked at her mother she said ‘Mama, let him go
It’s all my fault mama, he didn’t know.
Mama looked back and said “Girl, you’re a fool
That man is 10 times 7 and he knows the rule”.
Cho:
Mama said “Dad, you better get here quick
I got a rascal outside and he thinks he’s slick”.
Just when I ‘d made up my mind to run
Out stepped her daddy and he had a gun.
Cho:
I said ‘Please, please mister, I didn’t mean no harm’
He said ‘I’ll make sure you leave my daughter alone.
You don’t have to worry what no judge rules
It’ll be my trial after they have your funeral’
Cho:
Oh Well, Oh Well
Oh well, oh well I feel so fine today 2x
Had a letter from my baby, this time she’s comin home to stay
She’s a tall skinny mama weighs about ninety pounds 2x
Yeah the cat’s all jumpin every time she comes around
She’s mine she’s yours she’s somebody else’s too 2x
You put the hurt on me baby gonna get the hell away from you
Now do you wanna jump children 5x
Let the good time roll like a butterfly
She’s a heavy hipped mama she got great big legs 2x
Everywhere I hug it feels like soft-boiled eggs
She got great big legs the gal’s really on the ball
You know she dance every morning until my breakfast call
Cho:
My my [answers]
Whoa whoa
My my
Yo yo
My my
Let the good time roll like a butterfly
Buzzard Luck
Nothin in my pockets but the bottoms
And that’s more than I can say for my shoes
Speakin of the blues I got ‘em
And that’s more than I can afford to lose
I can’t beg, borrow or steal a buck
Man that’s nothin but buzzard luck
Can’t get on relief ‘cause I’m traveling
I really have nowhere to go
My last pair of pants is unraveling
And I don’t know a soul who can sew
I got in a fight I was too weak to duck
Man that’s nothin but buzzard luck
Just like a buzzard flying high in the sky
I can’t kill nothin and nothin won’t die
Ain’t nothin boiling but the water in the pot
And it wouldn’t be boiling if the flames wasn’t hot
I left my little town in Texas
Spent three years in Illinois
When I got back I was disgusted
I had a month old baby boy
She took me t court the judge said you’re stuck
Man that’s nothin but buzzard luck.
Lovin, Kissin and Huggin
I hear your sugar daddy owns half this time
I don’t need the money that you’re throwin around
I don’t want your automobile
What I need’s the way you make me feel
Stop your teasin girl let’s do the town.
Cho: Gimme your lovin, kissin and a huggin
You’re so pleasing
I need your squeezing
Gimme your lovin, kissin and a huggin right now.
It doesn’t matter to me who styles your hair
I don’t give a damn about the clothes you wear
Keep your checkbook in your purse
What I need’s a full-time nurse
Stop your teasin girl let’s fool around.
Cho:
I know you love money baby that’s all right
But money doesn’t keep you very warm at night
I don’t have money but I know about joy
So come and have a ball with your good-time boy
Stop your teasin woman let’s get down.
Cho: 2x
Tore Down
Cho: I’m tore down I’m almost level with the ground 2x
Well I feel like this when my baby can’t be found [stop]
I went to the river to jump in
My baby showed up and said ‘I will tell you when’
I’m tore down I’m almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this when my baby can’t be found
I love you baby with all of my soul
A love like ours has never been told
I love you in the morning and in the evening too
But every time you leave me I get mad with you
Cho:
I love you baby with all of my might
A love like ours is out-a-sight
I’d die for you if you want me too
I really can’t believe that your love is true
Cho: 2x
