Double Trouble

by Otis Rush
recording of 19
from probably Classic Recordings (Charly 217), copyright notice

I lay awake at night can't sleep just so troubled
It's hard to keep a job, laid off and havin' double trouble
Hey, they say you can make it if you try
Yes, in this generation of millionaires, it's hard for me to keep decent clothes to wear

You laughed at me walkin' baby, when I had no place to go
Bad luck and trouble have taken me, I have got no money to show
Hey, hey, to make it you've got to try, baby, that's no lie
Yes, in this generation of millionaires, it's hard for me to keep decent clothes to wear

I Can't Quit You Baby

soundclip

by Willie Dixon
recording of 1956
from Mean Old World: The Blues from 1940 to 1994 Smithsonian Blues Box (MCA RD110), copyright notice

Well, I can't quit you baby, but I got to put you down for awhile
Well, you know, I can't quit you baby, but I got to put you down for awhile
Well, you know, you messed up my happy home baby, made me mistreat my only child

Yes, you know I love you, baby, my love for you I'll never hide
Oh, you know I love you, baby, my love for you I'll never hide
Yes, you know I love you, baby, well you just my ordered¹ size

Well, I'm so tired I could cry, I could just lay down and die
Oh, I'm so tired I could cry, I could just lay down and die
Yes, you know you my only darling, you know you my desire

When you hear me moaning and groaning, you know it hurts me deep down inside
Oh, when you hear me moaning and groaning, you know it hurts me deep down inside
When you hear me holler , baby, oh, you know your my desire

Baby don't you know, you know I love you
Baby don't you know, you know I love you

Baby can't you see, can't you see I been cryin'
C'mon baby, every, every, every day now
C'mon baby, every, every, every day now
Hey baby, I'm a lonely man

Baby can't you hear me, can't you hear me callin'
Baby can't you hear me, can't you hear me callin'

by Paul
recording of 19
song appears on Door to Door (With Albert King) (MCA/Chess 9322) & Classic Recordings (Charly 217) & So Many Roads: Live (Delmark 643), copyright notice

So many roads, so many trains to ride
So many roads, so many trains to ride
I've got to find my baby, 'fore I'll be satisfied

I was standin' by my window, when I heard that whistle blow
I was standin' by my window, when I heard that whistle blow
You know I thought it was a Streamline... but it was a B & O

It was a mean ol' fireman and a cruel ol' engineer
It was a mean ol' fireman and a cruel ol' engineer
That took away my baby and left me standin' here

__________
Note: also known under thge title So many Roads, So many Trains.
