Oh baby
You’re as sweet as a daisy
You know you amaze me
Just give me a maybe
Oh baby
You and me should get hazy
Lie in bed and be lazy
Just give me a maybe
Oh baby
You’re makin’ me crazy
Say when will the day be
Just give me a maybe
Oh baby
If I got down on one knee
Would you say your'e my honey
Just give me a maybe
Oh baby
You’re makin’ me crazy
Say when will the day be
Just give me a maybe

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

Too Proud To Run
04:10

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

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

Dyin’ To Be Your Man
02:59
|

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

Now I’m The One Cryin’
03:44
|

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

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
