Look over there brother won't you

Back to that same old place
My sweet home Chicago

One more...

Mustang Sally

Mustang Sally
Girl you better slow that mustang down
Mustang Sally now baby
Girl you better slow that mustang down
You been running all over town
Gonna have to put your flat feet on the ground.

All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
One of these early mornings
I'm gonna be wiping those weeping eyes

I bought you a brand new mustang
It was 1965
Now you roll all over town
signifying woman
But you won't let me ride
Mustang Sally now baby
Girl you better slow that mustang down
You been running all over town
Gonna have to put your flat feet on the ground

All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
All you wanna do is ride around sally
(Ride Sally Ride)
One of these early mornings
I'm gonna be wiping those weeping eyes

Those weeping eyes!

You're welcome. Not that I consider "Mustang Sally" or "Love me or
leave me" blues songs! But never mind, here are a couple of classic
blues, courtesy of Jeannie & Jimmy Cheatham and the Sweet Baby Blues
Band (you will notice that Jeannie is the singer):


GOIN' DOWN SLOW (Jimmy Oden)
- Jeannie & Jimmy Cheatham

Well I done had my fun, if I don't get well no more
Yes I done had my fun, had my fun, if I don't get well no more
Well I been livin', lovin' and lyin', and now I'm goin' down slow

Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her not to worry, just forgive me for my sin
(forgive me, forgive me, forgive me)

On the next train South, look for my clothes on
On the next train South people, look for my clothes on
And if you do not see my body, please don't weep and moan

Don't cry mother, oh this is my prayer
Don't cry mother, mother, oh this is my prayer
Just say your daughter is in another world somewhere


TROUBLE IN MIND
(Richard M. Jones)
- Jeannie & Jimmy Cheatham

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
Cause the sun gonna shine
Lord in my back door someday

Well my man he done left me
Lord I almost lost my mind
Sometimes I feel like laughing
Sometimes I feel like crying

I'm goin' down by the river
Gonna take my rocking chair
If that man don't do right
Lord I'm gonna rock away from here

I'm goin' down by the railroad
Lord that lonesome railroad line
And if that man don't do right
Ease my worried mind


By way of contrast, here's another version of "Going Down Slow", as
recorded by Howlin' Wolf - it's virtually a totally new song:


GOIN' DOWN SLOW (James B. Oden)
- Howlin' Wolf, recorded 1961

(spoken:)
Man...
You know I've been enjoyin' things that kings and queens will never
have!
In fact kings and queens can *never* get 'm.
And they don't even know about it!
And good times? Mmmmmmmmm-mmh!!

(sung:)
I have had my fun, if I never get well no more (x 2)
Oh my health is fadin' on me, oh yes I'm goin' down slow

(spoken:)
Now looka here...
I did not say I was a millionaire...
But I said I have *spent* more money than a millionaire!
Cause if I had kept all my money that I'd already spent,
I would've been a millionaire a looong time ago...
And women? Great Googlie-Mooglie!!

(sung:)
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in (x 2)
Tell her to pray for me, forgive me for my sin

----
PS If anybody has an idea what a great Googlie-Mooglie is, or how you
can tell if you meet one, please let me know...

One of the best areas to start looking for the blues lyrics is
http://www.lyrics.ch/

Start here or else pick them off the cd's. Then you can enjoy them as
well as learn them.

Keep the Blues ALIVE.....
