I was born quite young sometime ago
Naked as a jaybird don’t ya’ll know
I’m so glad I was raised down south
With cornbread and turnip greens in my mouth
I’m satisfied and tickled too
To be up in here with all of you
You can listen to your rap your rock and roll
But if you don’t dig the blues you got a hole in your soul.

Chorus

If you don’t dig the blues
You got a hole in your soul
If anybody asks you tell’em
Big Joe told you so

You can groove on jazz like cool cats do
Sway to some Reggae if you choose
Country twang and cowboy hats
Suits them folks that like it like that
All this music I’m singin’ about
Got roots in the blues and there ain’t no doubt
If you don’t dig the blues
You got a hole in your soul
If anybody asks you tell’em
Big Joe told you so

Chorus

I used to party all night till the break of dawn
Shake’em on down till the cows come home
I could cock-a-doodle-do like the red roster does
The older I get the better I was

I’d run through the jungle fightin’ lions with a switch
Slapped the crap (shit) out of Tarzan and he dropped like a brick (make him my bitch)
My ass (Butt) was like a patch of turnip greens
Any time you want a mess you know what I mean

Chorus

The women all called me the good lovin’ man
All I knows I did the best I can
Me and Tiger Woods had one thing in common
To much man for just one woman

Chorus

That runnin’ around sure took its toll
Sometimes it sucks gittin’ so old
But if I’m forgiven for all of my sins
I’m in pretty good shape for the shape I’m in.

Chorus

You put my picture in a bag
And hung it on my door
Made it crystal clear
You don’t want me no more
Say you need your space
Time away from me
If you ain’t leaving woman
What else can it be

You’ve got problems from your past
You never straightened out
I’m starting to believe
That’s what this is all about
I offer you my comfort
You’ll have no part of me
If you ain’t leaving woman
What else can it be

You tell me that you love me
Yet you stay away
“It’s nothing that you’ve done”
Is all you will say
Your love for me has faded
Lord it’s killing me
If you ain’t leaving woman
What else can it be

You say that other man you’re seeing
Doesn’t count at all
But I suspect his picture
Is hanging on your wall
I know I should let you go
But it’s so hard for me
If you ain’t leaving woman
What else can it be

Whiskey in the bottle calling out to me
Telling lies about setting me free
Heard them lies before ain’t nothing new
Guess I’ll have another drink women’s this one’s for you

Chorus

Why should a man, how could a man feel so much pain
Them womens and whisky blues ‘bout drove me insane

Questions in my mind, won’t let me be
Tears in my eyes, won’t let me see
Stumblin’ down the street feelin’ so alone
Early in the morning trying to find my way home

Chorus

Questions still ain’t answered like I knew they wouldn’t be
Whiskey not the tears is why I can’t see
Sittin’ in my lonely room tryin’ to figure why
A man could have the blues so bad he’d just lay down and die

Chorus

Whiskey burns my throat every time I take a drink
Womans in my head every time I try to think
Know I should listen to my second mind
Lay off the whiskey leave that evil woman behind

Chorus

Chorus

Down in Louisiana where the alligators grow
With Poke Salad Annie and Marie Laveaux
Lives the woman of my dreams
She’s the psychoanalyst Voodoo Queen

She came to me through the radio
On a late night New Orleans call-in show
She was curing woes from A to Z
Made Sigmund Freud look like a chimpanzee
Now she’s the woman in my dreams
She’s a psychoanalyst voodoo queen

Chorus

She used black cat bones and eyes of frogs
Chicken feet and hair of dogs
She put it all in a gumbo pot
She spiced it up and served it hot
Way down yonder in New Orleans
She’s a psychoanalyst voodoo queen

Chorus

She was taking calls and casting spells
Reading cards and raising hell
She soothed my soul and my mental mind
Man she made me feel so fine
She’s the woman in my dreams
She’s a psychoanalyst voodoo queen

Midnight in Mississippi all by myself
Sad and alone I know why she left
Daytime ain’t so bad sunshine seems to help
But it’s midnight in Mississippi and I’m all by myself

Midnight in Mississippi pain in my heart
I took the love we had and tore it apart
She said she would forgive me but she never could forget
Now it’s midnight in Mississippi and I’m full of regret

Midnight in Mississippi feeling so ashamed
Can’t fault her for leaving I know I’m to blame
I try and carry on with the little I got left
But it’s Midnight in Mississippi and I’m all by myself

Midnight in Mississippi all by myself
Sad and alone I know why she left
Daytime ain’t so bad sunshine seems to help
But it’s midnight in Mississippi and I’m all by myself
It’s midnight in Mississippi and I’m all by myself

Chorus

There’s a black man in the white house
And it’s makin’ some folks blue.
They can’t be satisfied
No matter what he do.
They cussin’ and blaming him
For the shape the countries in
And for some I think it’s all about
The color of his skin

Cause for years they said nothin’
‘Bout the lying and the debt
As things kept getting worse
They never got upset.
But let him try and help
Them that need it most
They all want to tie him
To the whipping post

Chorus

I know people living in this town
Don’t know they butts from a hole in the ground
Living in houses they can’t afford
Keeping up with the Jones’s that live next door
Drivin’ new cars spendin’ lots of money
They don’t know sheep shit from wild honey

Chorus

And it’s hard to get along
Makes it hard to get along
Done got hard to get along
Tell me people am I right or wrong

Chullin’ runnin’ wild and actin’ fools
The blame it on the teachers in the schools
When the teacher’s try and make’em mind
They say Naw you can’t do that to mine
It ain’t very hard to see
The nut don’t fall far from the tree

Chorus

They standin’ up in church and testifin’
Come to find out they cheatin’ and lying’
Prayin to the lord to pay they debts
But won’t change nothin’ about they self
Listen people it ain’t funny
What the good book say’s ‘bout the love of money

Chorus
