Evil Woman lyrics - Canned Heat

Woman, when I saw you comin'

Should've started runnin'

Evil woman

Woman, I offered to you my soul

You ran it over hot coals

You evil woman

Woman, thought you were a blessin'

Then I caught you messin'

Evil woman

Woman, you ain't got no feelin'

You're just a dirty dealin'

Yeah 

Evil woman, the Lord's gonna' rack up 

Evil woman, the Lord's gonna' beckon you

Evil woman, can't you see where you're fallin'

Evil woman, the devil is a-callin' 

Evil woman, the Lord's gonna' rack up 

Evil woman, the Lord's gonna' beckon you

Evil woman, can't you see where you're fallin'

Evil woman, the devil is a-callin'-You 

Woman, when you whisper to me

All the hurt you do me

Evil woman

Woman, the way you went your way

Gettin' under my skin

You evil woman

Woman, when you laugh at my pain

When you step on my brain, yeah

Evil woman

Woman, if there were other choices

How I didn't hear the voices - cryin' 

Evil woman, the Lord's gonna' rack up 

Evil woman, the Lord's gonna' beckon you

Evil woman, can't you see where you're fallin' 

Evil woman, the devil is a-callin' 

Evil woman, the Lord's gonna' rack up 

Evil woman, the Lord's gonna' beckon you

Evil woman, can't you see where you're fallin'

My Crime lyrics - Canned Heat

I went to Denver

Late last fall

I went to do my job

Yeah I didn't break any law

We worked a hippie place

Like many in our land

They couldn't bust the place

And so they got the band

'Cause the police in Denver

No, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around

And that's the reason why

They want to tear Canned Heat's reputation down

You people in Denver

Will know what I mean

Yeah, the things I'm gonna tell ya

Yeah, you've all heard and seen

You remember when a cop on the beat

Used to rob and steal

Today they're gone, but the others get it on

So you know just how I feel

'Cause the police in Denver

Lord, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around

And that's the reason why

They try to tear Canned Heat's reputation down

Yeah, they try to tear it down, boy

They ain't gonna do it though

Let me tell you this just one more time

Just one more thing I wanna tell ya

Before I go

It's a shame the Man in Denver

Has to lie and mistreat people so

Now six months ain't no sentence

One year ain't no time

When I hear from one to ten

It worries my troubled mind

'Cause the police in Denver

Lord, don't want no long hairs around

And that's the reason why

They try to tear Canned Heat's reputation down

On The Road Again lyrics - Canned heat

Well, I'm so tired of crying

But I'm out on the road again

I'm on the road again

Well, I'm so tired of crying

But I'm out on the road again

I'm on the road again

I ain't got no woman

Just to call my special friend

You know the first time I traveled

Out in the rain and snow

In the rain and snow

You know the first time I traveled

Out in the rain and snow

In the rain and snow

I didn't have no payroll

Not even no place to go

And my dear mother left me

When I was quite young

When I was quite young

And my dear mother left me

When I was quite young

When I was quite young

She said, "Lord, have mercy

On my wicked son."

Take a hint from me, mama

Please don't you cry no more

Don't you cry no more

Take a hint from me, mama

Please don't you cry no more

Don't you cry no more

'Cause it's soon one morning

Down the road I'm going

But I ain't going down

That long old lonesome road

All by myself

But I ain't going down

That long old lonesome road

All by myself

I can't carry you, baby

Gonna carry somebody else

Whiskey Headed Woman, No. 2 lyrics - Canned Heat

Hi kids, this is the bear (wow!)

In 1940, tommy mcclennan did the whiskey headed woman.

Now, in 1968, we're going to do the whiskey headed woman #2. (oohhh)

She's a whiskey headed woman,

Lord, she's loaded all the time

Yeah.... she's a whiskey headed woman

Lord, she's loaded all the time

If she don't stop drinking,

She's bound to make me lose my mind

She went out last night 

Eahhhhhh, and the night before

She went out last night now

Lord she went out the night before

If she don't stop her fooling,

I'm gonna drive her right out that door

Yeah now I don't want no woman

That's always raising (scent?)

Yeah I don't want no woman..

That's always raising (scent?)

If she don't treat me right

I'm gonna send her to the promised land

Awwwwww, you better watch your step child

You're going to go on to that promised land.

[solo]

You better mamma

Now listen to this

I told my woman

Lord I told her 40 times

Yeeesss I told my woman

I told her 40 times

Yeah, If she don't stop this drinking

I'm going to leave her far behind

Yeah baby, you gotta stop that drinking

Yeah, I saw you last night

Being held down by them two men

Hank? and keg?

Yeah, I don't mind you getting high baby

Just watch your step now

Just watch that whiskey

Yeah whiskey ain't no good

No good at all

Amphetamine Annie lyrics - Canned heat

This is a song with a message

I want you to heed my warning

I wanna tell you all a story

About this chick I know

They call her "Amphetamine Annie"

She's always shovelling snow

I sat her down and told her

I told her crystal clear

"I don't mind you getting high

But there's one thing you should fear"

"Your mind might think its flying, baby

On those little pills

But you ought to know it's dying, 'cause

Speed kills"

But Annie kept on speeding

Her health was getting poor

She saw things in the window

She heard things at the door

Her mind was like a grinding mill

Her lips were cracked and sore

Her skin was turning yellow

I just couldn't take it no more

She thought her mind was flying

On those little pills

She didn't it was going down fast, 'cause

Speed kills

Well I sat her down and told her

I told her one more time

"The whole wide human race has taken

Far too much methedrine"

She said "I don't care what a Limey says,

I've got to get it on

I'm not here to just see no man

Who come from across the pond

She wouldn't heed my warning

Lord, she wouldn't hear what I said

Now she's in the graveyard, and she's

Awfully dead

Going Up The Country lyrics - Canned Heat

I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?

I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?

I'm going to some place where I've never been before.

I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine.

Well, I'm going where the water tastes like wine.

We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time.

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away.

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away.

All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay.

Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today,

Just exactly where we're going I cannot say, but 

We might even leave the USA,

'Cause there's a brand new game that I want to play.

No use of you running, or screaming and crying,

'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine.

"Canned Heat" (1967)

Rollin' And Tumblin' lyrics - Canned Heat

I roll and I tumble, cried the whole night long

Yes I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long

I got up this morning, feeling that something going on wrong

Well now want you to love me baby, or please let me be

Yes love me baby, or please let me be

If you don't like my peaches please don't shake my tree

Well I want you to love me baby, and come on and say you'll be mine

I want you to love me baby, come and say you'll be mine

If you don't like my potatoes, please don't dig up my vine

Bullfrog Blues lyrics - Canned Heat

Well, did you ever, 

Well, did you ever, 

Well, did you ever, 

Well, did you ever wake up, 

With them bullfrogs on your mind? 

Well, did you ever wake up, 

With them bullfrogs on your mind? 

You had to sit there laughin', 

Laughin' just to keep from crying. 

Well, did you ever wake up, 

With that one woman on your mind, 

Well, did you ever wake up, 

With that one woman on your mind, 

Sit there laughin', 

Laughin' just to keep from crying. 

My mother got em, 

My father got em, 

My sister got em, 

My brother got em. 

I woke up this morning, 

My grandmother had them too, 

Well, don't you know about that, 

I got the bullfrog blues. 

Bullfrog 

My mother got em, 

My father got em, 

My sister got em, 

My brother got em. 

I woke up this morning, 

My grandmother had them too, 

Well, don't you know about that, 

I got the bullfrog blues. 

Called up my doctor, 

Was not feeling so well, 

Well, I called up the doctor, 

Was not feeling so well. 

He looked inside his bag and said, 

"Well, well".... 

You don't need no doctor, 

You don't need no pill, 

You don't need no doctor, 

You don't need no pill. 

Just take my advice, 

It'll surely cure your ills. 

Head on down to New Orleans, 

Prettiest place you ever seen, 

Get on down to the river bend, 

That's where the music never ends. 

Open your ears, 

Don't you feel good? 

Get yourself one helluva shot of rhythm 'n' blues. 

Go on down to new Orleans, 

The greatest place you ever been, 

Head on down to the river bend, 

Dig the music of the Cajun bands, 

Honky-tonk piano, 

Make you feel good, 

Open your ears, 

To rhythm 'n' blues. 

Well, did you ever wake up, 

With them bullfrogs on your mind? 

Well, did you ever wake up, 

With them bullfrogs on your mind? 

You had to sit there laughin', 

Laughin' just to keep from crying. 

Well, did you ever wake up, 

With that one woman on your mind, 

Well, did you ever wake up, 

With that one woman on your mind, 

You had to sit there laughing, 

Laughing just to keep from crying.

Evil Is Going On lyrics - Canned Heat

It's a long way from home,

Can't sleep at night.

Call on your telephone;

Something just ain't right.

That's evil, evil is going on wrong.

I want to warn you brother,

You better watch your happy home.

You make it to your house,

Knock on the front door,

Run 'round to the back;

You'll catch him just before he goes.

That's evil, evil is going on.

I have warned you brother,

You better watch your happy home.

If you call on the telephone

And she answers long and slow,

Grab the first thing smoking

And you have to haul her home. 

That's evil, evil is going on wrong.

I have warned you brother,

You better watch your happy home.

Goin' Down Slow lyrics - Canned Heat

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 [x2]

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 [x2]

Tell her to pray for me, forgive me for my sin

Catfish Blues lyrics - Canned Heat

Well I wish I was a catfish,

Swimming in, lord, the deep blue sea.

I'd have a, all you pretty women,

Fishin' after me, fishin' after me,

Fishin' after me. Yeah.

Ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah. 

When I went down, my girlfriends house.

And I sat down, lord, on her front step.

And she said a, come in now Jimi.

My husband just now left, just now left.

Ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah. 

Well there's two, two trains runnin',

But there's not one, lord, that's goin' my way.

You know there's a one train runnin' at midnight.

Other one leave just for a day,

Leave just for a day.

Ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah

Built For Comfort lyrics - Canned Heat

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that

But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat

Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need

I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold

But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know

That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that

But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat

Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs

But if you want me, you got to take your time

Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need

But I got everything all the good girls need

I ... I love you baby

I ... I love you baby

But I got everything all of the good girls need

And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold

Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul

I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed

But I got everything all the good girls need

Chicago Bound lyrics - Canned Heat

Late last night, I sold away and cried

Late last night, I sold away and cried

Had the blues for Chicago, I just can't be satisfied

Blues on my brain, my tongue refused to talk

Blues on my brain, my tongue refused to talk

I was followin' my daddy but my feet refuses to walk

Mean old fireman, cruel old engineer

Lord mean old fireman, cruel old engineer

You took my man and left his mama standing here

Big red headline, tomorrow Defender news

Big red headline, tomorrow Defender news

"Woman dead down home, these old Chicago blues"

I said blues

Creole Queen lyrics - Canned Heat

Well, I left Natchez early and I don't know why;

Had a girl till sunburn and high in the sky.

61 was callin' my name

I was headin' for New Orleans had to make a change.

I'm back Tuesday on Mardi Gras bound;

I need that Creole Queen that I once found.

[solo]

Well, Louisiana women love a fat boy song;

You'll get one, man, you'll never let her go.

Runnin', marryin' and the dog - good town;

I said, the Creole Queen butt chased away your blues.

I'm headin' for New Orleans on Mardi Gras bound;

I got my baby back I'm headin' back to town.

Love me 'fore I grow too old

Come on, give me fever

Put your little hand in mine

You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy

Girl, you look so fine

You're just a-rockin' and a-rollin'

I sure do wish you were mine

You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy

When you call my name

Say you're driving me insane

Come on, come on, come on, baby

I want to be your lover man

Run and tell your mama

I Got Loaded lyrics - Canned heat

I dropped into a tavern where I saw some friends of mine

The party was gettin' underway and the truth was really flyin'

And I got loaded

I got loaded

I got loaded man, I sure got high

I told my pretty baby that I wouldn't stay out no more

You know every time I tried to leave I fell down on the floor

I got loaded

I got loaded

I got loaded man, I sure got high

It made me feel so happy baby, while it was goin' down

I took a sip every trip that bottle went around

And I got loaded

I got loaded

I got loaded man, I sure got high

Last thing I remember, I heard somebody say

Doggone my soul, let's really roll until the break of day

I got loaded

I got loaded

I got loaded man, I sure got high

If you see my baby, please tell her this from me

I didn't mean to stay so long, but the drinks down there were free!

I got loaded

I got loaded

I got loaded man, I sure got high

Medley - Back Out On The Road - On The Road Again lyrics - Canned Heat

Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again - I'm on the road again.

Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again - I'm on the road again.

I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend.

And I'm going to leave the city, got to go away.

I'm going to leave the city, got to go away.

All this fussing and fighting, man I sure can't stay.

You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow - in the rain and snow.

You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow - in the rain and snow.

I didn't have no fellow, not even no place to go.

And my dear mother left me when I was quite young - when I was quite young.

And my dear mother left me when I was quite young - when I was quite young.

She said "Lord have mercy on my wicked son."

[Break]

Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more - don't you cry no more.

Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more - don't you cry no more.

Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm gone.

But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road - all by myself.

But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road - all by myself.

I can't carry you baby, gonna carry somebody else.

Well now it don't make a difference just as long as you're as high as the sky

You gotta get a little reefer from your local dealer by and by

Sunnyland lyrics - Canned Heat

Seems like I heard that lonesome Sunnyland blow

Seems like I heard that lonesome Sunnyland blow

Now it blowing just like it won't be back no more

Well I feel bad this morning, feel just like I want to cry

Feel bad this morning, feel just like I want to cry

Well my baby rode that Sunnyland this mornin',

She didn't even once say goodbye

Got a letter from my baby, and she said she was coming home

Well sat around waiting, baby, and I hope it won't be long

She said, cool down papa, now you better change your way

She said, cool down papa, and you better change your way

Yeah, it's true, you know I love you baby, and you gonna need my help someday
