Bad case of love



I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
People, my heart is filled with misery

I live in loneliness, never get no rest
Went to see a love doctor to get out of this mess
Took a look at me before he cast his spell
Shook his head, then began to yell

You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
Boy, your heart is filled with misery

I said, "Doctor, doctor, please do something for me
I feel like a man going through the third degree
Can't sleep at night, can't eat a bite
Since she been gone nothing ever goes right"

He said, "Son, I know just how you feel
You love your baby and you always will
But your wind is short, your pulse is weak
It won't be long before you're six feet deep"

You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
Boy, your heart is filled with misery

Bluesman (understand)



I've traveled for miles around
It seems like everybody wanna put me down
Because I'm a blues man
But I'm a good man, understand

I went down to the bus station
Looked up on the wall
My money was too light, people
Couldn't go nowhere at all
I'm a blues man
But a good man, understand

The burdens that I carry are so heavy, you see
It seems like it ain't nobody in this great big world
That would wanna help old B.
But I will be all right, people
Just give me a break
Good things come to those who wait
And I've waited a long time
I'm a blues man but a good man, understand

[Čavar]

Broken promise



You broke your promise, baby
You don't love, honor or obey
You won't do nothing I tell you
You go on mistreating me everyday
You're hardly acting your part, baby
You won't do nothing the preacher says

You don't love me, baby
You don't even wish me well
Honor's just a joke with you, baby
You don't love me, I can tell
Married life with you, baby
I'd rather be living in a cell

You deceive me, baby
You use me like a child
You tricked me into loving you, baby
I was loving you all the while
You played with my heart, baby
I said I was loving you all the while

[Čavar]

Darlin' what happened



Oh darling, what happened to that beautiful smile?
The ones you gave me any time we were face to face
Oh is it someone else taking my place
Oh baby, what happened

Oh what happened to those fast heartbeats?
The ones that excited me so
Oh tell me, don't you love me
Oh, baby, don't you care any more?
Darling, what happened

Oh it's so sad what a little time can do
Oh when you're hanging out with another
Losing a love with you
All those good times we had
Baby, just me and you

Oh darling, before I go
There's one thing I'd like to know
Don't you love me?
Don't you care any more?
Darling, what happened

[Čavar]

Good man gone bad



I want you to stop right there, baby
Baby, and try to understand
Hey, I might have been your fool for a while, baby
But I know I'm a good loving man
And you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Makes me mad as a man can be

I know when you got home last night
Your kissing me was your plan
I know you were just faking me, baby
'Cause you'd been out with your other man
And you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Makes me mad as a man can be

Hey, I can't quit you, baby
'Cause you're honey but the bees don't know
There's one thing I got to tell you, little girl
Just one thing before I go
That is you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Makes me mad as a man can be

[Čavar]

I'll survive



You say you're leaving, you've shattered my dreams
All of our plans dear, forgotten it seems
Yes, it had to happen
I'm not surprised, but i'll, i'll survive

Your friends have shown you a much better way
All of my loving you baby, all of those years, ended today
Yes, you go on darlin'
I'll dry my eyes, but i'll, i'll survive

Go on! may god bless you
It was fun. while it was fun
Baby, i hate to lose you
I say i hate to lose you baby
It's all over! what's done is done

Hey! you go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame
All your good luck or bad luck
Your friends must take the blame
Oh! i can't beg you no more baby
I've got too much pride, but i'll, i'll survive

Oh, go on! may god bless you
Oh, it was fun. while it was fun
Oh baby, i hate to lose you
I say i hate to lose you baby
It's all over! what's done is done

Hey! you go on baby, seek your fortune and fame
All your good good luck or bad luck
Friends must take the blame
Oh! i can't beg you no more
I've got too much pride, but i'll, i'll survive

Oh! i'll, i'll survive
Baby, i'll survive

[Čavar]

I've got some outside help i don't need



All of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
I've said all of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
Hey, i've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby
One that ain't never been told

I went to work the other day
But i thought that i would double back
And that car i saw sitting in front of my door
Looked like a brand new, a brand new cadillac, yeah!

I ain't got none now baby
I think you've been cheating on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
That i don't think i really need

The iceman came by this morning
And you know he didn't leave no ice
The postman came by later baby
And he didn't even ring twice

I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
That i don't think i really need

Now, i want you to tell the iceman
The next time he'd better leave some ice
And i want you to tell the postman
He'd better ring more than twice

And when i come home from work in the morning
Better still be some groceries on the shelf.
I want to tell that slick insurance man
That he'd better write some insurance on his self.

Yes, i think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some help, some help
Some help, i don't really need

[Čavar]

If i lost you



You're the greatest thing in my life, baby
Without your love, baby
I don't know just what i would do
Years of loving you, you've been so true
I believe i'd lose my mind if i lost you

I guess i've been lucky to have someone so dear
To talk and laugh and always bring me cheer
After all of these years you've been so true to me, baby
I believe i'd lose my mind if i lost you

After all of the lies i've told you
Just like giving you the stars
And buying you mink coats
Mink coats and diamonds, baby
Money in the bank and each year
Each year two brand new cars

You're the greatest thing in my life, baby
Between me and you i know i've got the best deal
Let me thank you, baby, you've been so true
I'd lose my mind if i lost you

[Čavar]

Mean ole' world



This is a mean ole' world
Baby, to live in all by yourself
I said a mean, mean, mean ole' world
To live in all by yourself
When you can't get the woman you're loving
Because she's loving somebody else

I smile to keep from worrying
And i laugh just to keep from crying
Smile to keep from worrying
Laugh just to keep from crying
Trying to keep the public from knowing
Baby, what i've got on my mind

Someday, baby
When the blood runs cold in my veins
Someday, baby
When the blood runs cold in my veins
You won't be able to mistreat me no more then, baby
'cause my heart won't feel no pain

[Čavar]

Shake it up and go



You might be old, about 90 years
But you ain't too old to shift them gears
You can shake it up and go (shake it up and go)
Shake it up and go (shake it up and go)
You good-looking people sure can shake it up and go

Mama killed a chicken, she thought it was a duck
She put it on the table with his legs sticking up
She had to shake it up and go (shake it up and go)
Shake it up and go (shake it up and go)
You good-looking people sure got to shake it up and go

I told my baby the week before last
The gait she had was just a little too fast
She had to shake it up and go (shake it up and go)
Shake it up and go (shake it up and go)
You good-looking people sure got to shake it up and go

Look here baby, you ain't treating me right
You go out everyday, stay out late at night
You got to shake it up and go, baby (shake it up and go)
You got to shake it up and go (shake it up and go)
You good-looking people sure got to shake it up and go

[Čavar]

Tell me baby



Just tell me baby! Just tell me baby!
What can I do to change your mind?
Hey, hey, hey baby
What can I do to change your mind
I've got the blues about you baby*
You keep me worried all the time

You say you love me
I believe you do
But I think you're trying to quit me
And what more can I do?

Hey, hey, hey baby
What can I do to change your mind?
I've got the blues about you baby
You keep me worried all the time

You've got a man in the east
You've got a man in the west
I'm sitting here wondering
Which one you love the best

Hey, hey, hey baby
What can I do to change your mind?
Got the blues about you baby
Keep me worried all the time

*in the original version:
I've got the freight train blues
Baby, and the tracks are all out of line

Ain't nobody here but us chickens



One night farmer Brown was takin' the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house something stirred
When he shouted, "Who's there?"
This is what he heard
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
Kicking up an awful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
Oh, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
Oh, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

Hey, hey boss man, what do you say?
It's easy, pickins, there ain't nobody here but us chickens

Ain't that just like a woman



There was Adam, happy as a man could be
Till Eve got him messin' with that old apple tree

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Samson thought Delilah was on the square
Till one night she clipped him all his hair

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

From our history books we all learned
Nero fiddled while Rome was burned

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Marie Antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate
They was crying for bread, she said, "Let them eat cake"

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

You can buy a woman clothes
And give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She ain't never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Beware, brother, beware



Hey, fellas, yes, you, fellas, listen to me, I got something to tell you
And I want you to listen to every word and govern yourselves accordingly

Now, you see these girls with these fine diamonds, fine furs and fine clothes
Well, they're looking for a husband and you're listening to a man who knows
They ain't foolin', and if you fool around with them
You're gonna get yourself in a schoolin'

Listen, if she saves you dough, and won't go to the show
Beware
If she's easy to kiss and won't resist
Beware

And if you go for a walk, and she listens while you talk
She's tryin' to hook you

And nobody's lookin' and she asks you to taste her cookin'
Don't do it, don't do it
And if you go to a show and she wants to sit in the back row
Bring her down front, bring her right down front

If you wanna go for a snack, and she wants to sit in the booth in the back
Beware

And listen, if she's used to caviar and fine silk
When you go out with her she wanna a hot dog and a malted milk
She's trying to get you

If you're used to goin' to Carnegie Hall, but when you take her out night clubing
All she wants is one meatball
You better take it easy

If she grabs your hand and says, "Darling, you're such a nice man"
Beware, I'm telling you

(Should I tell them no more?)
(Tell them everything)

You better listen to me 'cause I'm telling you what's being put down
You better pick up on it

If her sister calls your brother, you better get further
I'm telling you, you better watch it

And if she's acting kind of wild, and she says, "Darling, give me a trial"
Don't you do it, don't be weak, don't give it to her
And if she smiles in your face and just melts into place
Let her melt, forget it, let her melt

(Should I tell them no more?)
(Tell them everything)

Now listen, if she calls you up on the phone, and says,
"Darling, are you all alone?"
Tell her, "No, no, I've got two, three women with me"

Don't pay no attention to women
Stand up for your right, be a man, be a man

(Are you listening?)
If you turn out the lights and she don't fight
That's the end, it's too late
She's got you hooked, you might as well stick with her

(Should I tell them no more?)

If you get home about two and don't know what to do
You pull back the curtains, and the whole family's looking at you
Get your business straight
Set the date, don't be late

Brother, beware, beware, beware
Brother, you better beware

[Čavar]

Buzz me



When I saw you this morning, baby
Tell me why did you walk away
When I saw you this morning, baby
Tell me why did you walk away
Can't believe that you don't love me
Thought our love was here to stay

Now buzz me, baby
I'll be waiting for your call
Buzz me, buzz me, buzz me
Buzz me, baby
I'll be waiting for your call
If you forgot the number
Come on over
You won't have to call at all

I never lied to no one
I ain't gonna lie to you
When I say I'm yours forever
Every word I say is true
Buzz me, baby
I'll be waiting for your call
If you forgot the number
Come on over
You won't have to call at all

Yes, buzz me, baby
I'm like the ship that's lost at sea
Buzz me, buzz me, baby
You mean so much to me
If I ever get my arms around you
I ain't gonna let go till 1973

[Čavar]

Caldonia



Hey, I'm walking with my woman
She got great big feet
Long, lean and angry
She ain't had nothing to eat
But she's my woman
And I love her just the same
She's a fine looking woman
And Caldonia is her name

Now here we go!

Caldonia, Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard
I love her
Yeah, I love her just the same

Give me that now.

I'm crazy about the woman
'Cause Caldonia is her name

Can we do it once more?

Caldonia, Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard, oh

Caldonia, Caldonia, Caldonia

[Čavar]

Choo choo ch'boogie



Headin' for the station with a pack on my back
I'm tired of transportation in the back of my hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
And hear the lonesome whistle see the smoke from the stack to pal around
With democratic fellow named Mac
So take me right back to the track, Jack

Choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie, woo-woo
Woo-woo, ch'boogie, choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

You reach your destination but you don't go back
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
And read the situations from the front to the back
But the only job that's open needs a man with a knack
So put it right back in the rack, Jack

Choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie, woo-woo
Woo-woo, ch'boogie, choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Gonna settle down by the railroad track
Live the life o'Riley in the beat down shack
When I hear a whistle I can peep thru the crack
Watch the train rollin' when it's ballin' the jack
Love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
So take me right back to the track, Jack

Choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie, woo-woo
Woo-woo, ch'boogie, choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Take me right back to the track, Jack

[Čavar]

Early in the morning



It's early in the morning and I can't get right
'Cause I had a little date with my baby last night

Now it's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues

I went to all the places where we used to go
I went to her house but she don't live there no more

And it's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to her girlfriendç£â€” house, but she was out
I knocked on her door and her mother started to shout
"Get away from here!"

Too early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues

Went to Jenny Lou's to get something to eat
The waitress looked at me, she said, "B., you sure look beat"
It's early in the morning, baby
Early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues

Had a lot of money when I first started out
I couldn't find my baby, now my money's run out

Now it's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues

It's early in the morning
I ain't got nothin' but the blues
