Blues & My Guitar (Alligator

Records 25th Anniversary Collection (Alligator

Somewhere in this big city a fine young lady's getting
dressed
She's going down to the blues club to hear the sounds that
she loves best
Modern music just don't move her, rap and country 'n' all
the rest
She's going out all alone to check out a new blues band
Her girlfriends won't go with her, no they just don't
understand
That's too bad, but she don't need them and she ain't
lookin' for a man
To her nothing sounds so good as a ringing slide guitar
She loves it slow and deep, and she feels it in her
heart
She says, "Hush, I'm trying to listen", when men hit on her
at the bar
A lady so fine and soulful can still be blue that's for
sure
She might make lots of money, but a troubled heart can make
her poor
And if blues is her sadness, then blues music is her
cure

The date on my last penny
Is the last year I got any
And I sure didn't get that many
I'm just about out
Nine cents on your dime
Nine heart aches since my last good time
Nine minutes before I turn to crime
I'm just about out
I know you might laugh when you hear this
And I don't want sympathy
But my heart and my pockets are empty
And that out about says it for me
I spent one cent less than I had
I'm so lonely I might go mad
How the hell did it get this bad
I'm just about out
I know you might laugh when you hear this
And I don't want sympathy
But my heart and my pockets are empty
And that out about says it for me
I ain't counting my penny wrong
I ain't had no love in so long
My life is one sad blues song
I'm just about out

Going

I'm gonna pack my suitcase, boy and head out on the road
I'm gonna pack me suitcase, yeah and head out on the
road
Well that woman I've been loving, she don't love me no
more
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down
Well I feel so lonesome when my baby can't be found
I'm gonna call long distance telephone from coast to
coast
I'm gonna call long distance telephone from coast to
coast
If I don't find my baby, ain't gonna call no more

I really got to use my imagination, to keep on keepin'
on
I got to make the best of a bad situation, ever since that
day I found you were gone
Darkness all around me, blockin' out the sun
My good friends call me but I don't want to talk to
anyone
Emptiness has found me and it just won't let me go
I go on livin' but why I just don't know
I really got to use my imagination, to think of a reason
To keep on holdin' on, I got to make the best of
A bad situation, ever since that day, I found you were
gone
Drowning out reality won't do me no good
Ain't no misunderstandin', it's too well understood
Such a sad, sad season, when a good love dies
Ain't a day goes by, when I don't realize
I really got to use my imagination, to think of a reason
To keep on holdin' on, I got to make the best of
A bad situation, ever since that day, I found you were
gone

Just because you don't say thanks, don't mean someone didn't
give
Just because you got some money, don't mean you know how to
live
Just because you look good today, don't mean you will
tomorrow
Just because your happy now, don't mean you won't know
sorrow
Just because you're clothes are clean, don't mean your clean
without 'em
Just because you judge someone, don't mean you know about
'em
Just because you moved your mouth, don't mean you gave an
answer
Just because you move your feet, don't mean that you're a
dancer
Just because you're good, don't mean you'll always win
Just because you don't get caught, don't mean you didn't
sin
Just because you meant to say it, don't mean that's what you
said
Just because you look real sexy, don't mean you're good in
bed
Just because you don't do it, don't mean that others
shouldn't
Just because you can't control yourself, don't mean that I
couldn't
Just because you talk the loudest, don't mean what you say
is right
Just because you're a bully, don't mean you'll win the
fight
Just because you say "No problem", don't mean the problem
ain't you
Just because you don't go out, don't mean there's nothing to
do
Just because you put folks down, don't mean that you're so
cool
Just because you've been around, don't mean you ain't the
fool
Just because you're talkin' at me, don't mean you're talkin'
to me
Just because you're smilin' at me, don't mean that you won't
screw me
Just because you don't say sorry, don't mean that you
weren't wrong
Just because you make words rhyme, don't mean you wrote a
song

Check it out baby, these words are way overdue
Check it out baby, these words are way overdue
Well it's my time now, got to be later for you
Well you sure fooled me baby, I thought your love was
true
You sure fooled me baby, I thought your love was true
Well it's my time now, got to be later for you
(Help me Pinetop1)
Well I gave you a home and I took you to be my wife
But you treated me so rotten, you almost wrecked my life
Good-bye baby, now I don't care what you do
Well it's my time now baby, got to be later for you
(Oh, get outta here)

You tell me you don't love me and you say you never will
You're going to find another man, to give you that
thrill
But that's not what you said last night, that's not what you
said last night
That's not what you said last night, when we turned off the
bedroom light
You tell me I don't please you and you're tired of
trying
You tell me to hit the road, now I'm standin' here
cryin'
Not what you said last night, that's not what you said last
night
That's not what you said last night, I thought everything
was alright
Well double-dealing mama, you won't play me straight
Say one thing early, something else late
Not what you said last night, that's not what you said last
night
That's not what you said last night and I didn't come here
to fight
That's not what you said, not what you said, not what you
said last night
That's not what you said, not what you said, not what you
said last night
That's not what you said, not what you said, not what you
said last night

The sun is rising and I don't care who I've been
I never did much but I'm ready to begin
I may be down and out but I'm gettin' up and in
I've always been a loser, now it's my turn to win
I was on the bottom, now this time it's happenin'
I may be down and out but I'm gettin' up and in
Up and in
Up and in
Up and in
Up and in
I may be down and out but I'm gettin' up and in
Gonna get some good lovin' and I don't think that's a
sin
You'll know when I do, you'll dig my big wide grin
I may be down and out but I'm gettin up and in
Up and in
Up and in
Up and in
Up and in
I may be down and out but I'm gettin' up and in
Up and in
Up and in
Up and in
Up and in
I may be down and out but I'm gettin' up and in
