Everybody’s smiling Like they’re in ecstasy I just don’t feel welcome The blues won’t let me be Everybody’s happy except me Don’t want to sound ungrateful Your love is oh so sweet I have this nasty habit The booze has got me beat Everybody’s happy except me I’m drinking less each morning And making cups of tea But I just feel like dying And having to go pee Everybody’s happy except me I’m going to the ocean To drown under the sea I’m really sorry baby The blues won’t let me be Everybody’s happy except me Everybody’s happy except me Everybody’s happy except me

Woah mama you’ve got me on my knees Woah mama you’ve got me on my knees If you can’t give me your lovin’ then won’t you set me free It’s been a long three years waiting for a sign It’s been a long three years waiting for a sign This world’s too sad to live in and I’m tired of always cryin’ I’m on that lonesome train I’m heading off to war I’m on that lonesome train and I’m heading off to war If I can’t have your lovin’ then I don’t care no more I’m too tired to walk and I’m too proud to run I’m too tired to walk and I’m too proud to run I was searching for you baby I thought you were the one
5.
I love you baby You know I do I’d never hurt you You know it’s true But somebody crossed Somebody crossed a line in the sand Now I’ve got all this time All this time on my hands I’s at the bar Getting high Barman tells me About my Nelly Bligh How she's running around town Running around with another man Now I’ve got all this time All this time on my hands Think of me Hope you do I’m so far Away from you I’m so sorry baby Hope you understand Why there’s all this time All this time on my hands
6.
I said I’d love you forever but that was long before I said I’d love you forever but that was long before I was dying to be your man but now I’m not so sure Oh you said you loved me and you wanted to be my wife Oh you said you loved me and you wanted to be my wife You found the way to my heart with a 12 inch carving knife But I still love you honey I’m sorry that we had that fight Yeah I still love you honey I’m sorry that we had that fight I wanna hang around and haunt you from morning till late at night Oh baby baby won’t you let me come around Oh baby baby won’t you let me come around It’s so cold and lonely six feet under the ground I said I’d love you forever but that was long before I said I’d love you forever but that was long before I was dying to be your man but now I’m not so sure

I went out last night, told myself I would try to stop lyin’ I went out last night, told myself I would try to stop lyin’ Got full of booze, got pretty loose, now I’m the one cryin’ It’s a real shame baby, you had to put up with me It’s a real shame baby, you had to put up with me You were real sweet, I was such a cheat, and you got rid of me Been so good to me, changed my life in every ways Been so good to me, changed my life in every ways You used to want me, but now you’ll haunt me, all my natural days It’s a real shame baby, you had to put up with me It’s a real shame baby, you had to put up with me You used to love me, you had to shove me and set yourself free I went out last night, told myself I would stop all my lyin’ I went out last night, told myself I would stop all my lyin’ Got full of booze, got pretty bruised, now I’m the one cryin’

I got a crazy woman knock me down with just one blow I got a crazy woman knock me down with just one blow I don’t know nothin' 'bout nothin' but I know I love her so She’s blond or brunette maybe somewhere in between She’s blond or brunette maybe somewhere in between She said I was her king and you know she was my queen Come back baby just give me one more chance Come back baby just give me one more chance Well I wrote this song for you cos I know you love to dance I got a crazy woman knock me down with just one blow I got a crazy woman knock me down with just one blow I don’t know what I was thinking how’d I ever let her go

Burnin' Down 03:32
We went and lit a spark And then we fanned the flame It ain’t your fault I’m the one to blame Baby come and help me I can’t do it on my own Our house is burnin’ down babe Help me save our pretty home It’s getting too hot baby I can’t stand the steam I need to cool down It could be just a crazy dream Baby come and help me I can’t do it on my own Our house is burnin’ down babe Help me save our pretty home I called the fire brigade They said you’re on your own The bucket’s full of holes And the well is overgrown Baby come and help me I can’t do it on my own Our house is burnin’ down babe Help me save our pretty home There’s only ashes now And the smoke’s fillin’ my eyes My friends are all gone Gonna sit right here and cry Baby come and help me I can’t do it on my own Our house is burnin’ down babe Help me save our pretty home

Black Sun 04:15
I was born looking up at a black sun I came out back ways and all alone My mama died right there having me And my daddy well he was long gone Everybody I met turned their backs on me I travelled the road running wild People tell each other watch out now Stay away from that voodoo child I’m too blue for this world Black sun’s got a spell on me Yeah I’m too blue for this world Watch out I’ve got the voodoo in me Old black sun be rising again World all filling with red wine Nobody care nobody be friends Waiting till the church bells chime No home no places to stay Been walking for mile after mile Only thing I hear people say Stay away from that voodoo child I’m too blue for this world Black sun’s got a spell on me Yeah I’m too blue for this world Watch out I’ve got the voodoo in me I’m too blue for this world Black sun’s got a spell on me Yeah I’m too blue for this world Watch out I’ve got the voodoo in me
11.
You’re not too old too go out and have some fun You’re not too old too go out and have some fun You could just stay home but you’ll never get anything done Put your glad rags on and head out on the street Put your glad rags on and head out on the street And find our joint we can really move your feet Get on the floor we love to see you jive Get on the floor we love to see you jive It feels so good to see you come alive Well there’s one more verse for you to strut your stuff Yeah there’s one more verse for you to strut your stuff Come on and yell for more if you haven’t had enough
