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' 
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
Evil woman

Woman, if there were other choices
How I didn't hear the voices - cryin' 

Evil woman, the Lord's gonna' rack up

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

Dust My Broom lyrics - Canned Heat

I'm gon' get up in the mornin',
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gon' get up in the mornin',
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room

I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
If I can't find her in West Helena, she must be in East Monroe I know

I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
She's a no good doney, they shouldn't 'low her on the street

I believe, I believe I'll go back home
I believe, I believe I'll go back home
You can mistreat me here, babe, but you can't when I go home

And I'm gettin' up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room

I'm 'on' call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there
I'm 'on' call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there
If I can't find her on Philippine's Island, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere

Help me, help me darlin'

Bring my nightshirt
Put on your morning gown
Bring my nightshirt
Put on your morning gown
Darlin I know we stripped bare
But I don't feel like lying down

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.

Dizzy Miss Lizzy lyrics - Canned Heat (originally by Larry Williams)

You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
The way you rock'n'roll
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
When we do the stroll
Come on, Miss Lizzy
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
O-o-o-o-oh baby
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 want you to be my bride
Run and tell your brother
Baby, don't run and hide
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
And I want to marry you

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

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.

Reefer Blues lyrics- Canned Heat

I get high all day, I feel fine all day
I'm a mellow mother for you, baby, baby, don't you know?
Well I like to smoke my reefer, lord I smoke it everywhere I go

Mope around all day, feeling down all day

Well now you gotta smoke your reefer you gotta make a change today
Well now you take a little puff well you know that you're gonna get high
Well now you take two hits well now you know you're just as high as the sky
You gotta get a little reefer from your local dealer by and by

Mope around all day
Feeling down all day
You gotta do yourself a favor gotta chase all your blues away
Well now you gotta smoke a reefer you've gotta have a change today
Well you take two puffs well you know that you're gonna get high
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

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