Can`t sing the blues in an airconditioned room

1. All my life I had to struggle, I payed some heavy dues
squeakin´out a livin, playin´easier blues
but when one day my music, made me a millionaire
I bought a big old mansion, with central heat and air
now I`ve got more money, then I know how to use
got everything a man can want, but I ain`t got no blues
success for me can only be, to my opinion doom
cause I can`t sing the blues in an airconditioned room

2. Now I was doin´better, with a smaller piece of pie
with all my friends and fortunes, I can`t identify
I lost the inspiration, that came natural at the start
I have to hire me an old woman, just to break my heart
now my life`s too easy, I think I`ll get me some
I used to play the blues allday, but now I`m just playin´golf
now all my fame is re-arranged, my life is changin´too
cause I can`t sing the blues in an airconditioned room

3. You might think I`m crazy, you might think I`m strange
the first thing in the morning, I wanna make a change
I throw away my money, I move back to that shag
do whatever I got to do, to get that feelin´back
I know I`ll be feelin´better, with nothin´left to loose
when times were bad, the less I had, I better sang the blues
I found myself and took it around, and howled up to the moon
cause I can`t sing the blues in an airconditioned room

If I could die tomorrow, you can write it on my tomb
you can`t sing the blues in an airconditioned room
Caress me baby

1. Caress me baby
like the wind caress the tree
caress me baby
like the wind caress the tree
I love you, you love me baby
like a soft, soft summerbree

2. Strollin´by the river
on a real moon lighted night
strollin´by the river
on a real moon lighted night
I love you, you love me baby
everythings gonna be allright
Carol

Refr. Oh Carol, don`t let him steal your heart away
I`m gonna learn to dance, if it takes me all night and day

1. Come into my machine, so we can cruise on out
I know a swingin´little joint, where we can jump and shout
it`s not to far back on the highway, not so long aride
you park the car out in the open, you can walk inside
a little cuttie takes your head, and you can thank her mam
`cause everytime you make the scene, you find the joint is jammed

Refrain

2. Now if you wanna hear some music, like the boy´s are playin´
hold tide, catch your foot, don`t let them carried away
don`t let the heat overcome you, when they play so loud
well the music is treat you, when they get acroud
well you can`t dance, I know you wish you could
I got my eyes on you babe, cause you dance so good

Refrain

C.C. Rider

Refr. Well see, C.C. Rider, now see what you`ve done
well see, C.C. Rider , now see what you`ve done
well, you made me love you,
and now your lovin´man is come

1. Well, I`m goin´away baby, and I want be back till fall
well, I`m goin away baby, and I want be back till fall
and if I find me a good woman,
I want be back at all

2. Well, I wish, I was a catfish, swimming in a deep blue sea
well, I wish, I was a catfish, swimming in a deep blue sea
I had all those women,
diving after me
Cold, cold feelin´

1. I got a cold, cold feelin´
just like ice around my heart
I got a cold, cold feelin´
just like ice around my heart
I feel like I wanna quit somebody
everytime that feelin´starts

2. You don`t love me,
you know little girl, it`s just your alibi
you don`t love me,
you know little girl, it`s just your alibi
you know, you treat me so low down and dirty
how, little girl, you make me wanna die
Come on in my kitchen ( by Robert Johnson )

1. You better come on in my kitchen, it`s goin´to be rainin´outdoors
When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down
Lookin´for yo´good friend, none can be found
You better come on in my kitchen, it´s goin´to be rainin´outdoors

2. Nnn, the woman I love, took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again
She better come on in my kitchen, baby, it´s goin´to be rainin´outdoors
( spoken : mama can`t you hear that wind howl, oh, how the wind do howl )
you better come on in my kitchen, baby, it´s goin´to be rainin´outdoors

3. Nnn, the woman I love, I crave to see
She`s up the country, won`t write to me
Then you better come on in my kitchen, goin´to be rainin´outdoors

4. I went to the mountain, far as my eyes could see
Some other man got my woman, lonesome Blues got me
But she better come on in my kitchen, `cause it`s goin´to be rainin´outdoors

5. My mama dead, papa well´s to be, ain`t got nobody to love and
care for me
she better come on in my kitchen, `cause it`s goin´to be
rainin´outdoors

Crosscut saw

Refr. I`m a crosscut saw, babe drag me across your log
I`m a crosscut saw, babe drag me across your log
I`ll cut your wood so easy for you
you can`t help but say hot dog

1. Some call me" Woodcuttin´Sam"
some call me " Woodcuttin´Jim"
last girl I could work for
she wants me back again

Refrain

2. I`ve got a doubleblade axe
that really cuts èm good
but I`m a crosscut saw
you can bury in your wood

Refrain
Crossroads

1. I went down to the crossroads
fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads
fell down on my knees
asked the lord above for mercy
help me if you please

2. I went down to the crossroads
tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroads
tried to flag a ride
nobody seemed to know me
everybody passed me by

3. Well I`m goin down to Rosedale
take my river by my side
well I`m goin down to Rosedale
take my river by my side
we can still barrelhouse, baby
by the riverside

4. You can run, you can run
tell my friend boy, Willie Brown
you can run, you can run
tell my friend boy, Willie Brown
and I`m standing at the crossroads
I believe I`m sinking down
