London Blues lyrics - Canned Heat

When I came here last year
You promised much to me
When I came here last year
You promised much to me
You lead me on and teased me
You picked me up and let me down

When I asked you here for dinner
And you brought all your friends
When I asked you here for dinner
And you brought all your friends
I said here I am feeding half of London
And all I should be feeding here is you

Well I took you to the music show
And we wound up in your home
Well I took you to the music show
And we wound up in your home
But you ran away and hid from me
Left me walking the streets (of London) all alone

Now you call me on the telephone
There's a concert you wanna see
Now you call me on the telephone
There's a concert you wanna see
Cause the Heat's in your town
And your living right down the street
On your way to the concert
You want to stop by the hotel a while
If you don't stop by the hotel, you can go straight to hell

Future Blues lyrics - Canned Heat

Who'll tell your future, I can't tell my past,
Who'll tell your future, I can't tell my past,
Seem like every minute lord is sure gonna be my last,
Gonna who do ya baby, got you on my mind,
Who do ya baby, got you on my mind,
Wait a few months darlin' it will drive you right outta your mind,
'Cause your a crazy little mama and you know you can't be beat,
I got somethin' for ya baby that is awful sweet,
Come on little mama gonna knock ya right off your feet.

[Music]

See that picture baby hangin' up on your mama's shelf,
See that picture baby hangin' up on your mama's shelf,
I'm gettin' tired, tired, tired lord of sleepin' all by myself,
Who'll tell your future, I can't tell my past,
Who'll tell your future, I can't tell my past,
Seem like every minute lord is sure gonna be my last,
Tho the past was sour lord the future can be mighty sweet,
We finally found a home and our love just can't be beat,
You know it's forever and I'm never never gonna leave.

"Hallelujah" (1969)



Same All Over lyrics - Canned Heat

Time was when we got along
Time was when we got along
It's too bad that the feeling's gone

Time was when we could agree
Time was when we could agree
That time's gone, now you find fault with me

I've got time, things will workout fine
Trouble will not wreck my life
Trouble will not wreck my life
Someday you'll like what I'm putting down

I'm Her Man lyrics - Canned Heat

I found love sure is good to me
I found love sure is good to me
You know a man needs a woman though to keep him company
It feels good not to be alone
Oh so good not to be alone
I'm gonna make sure not to lose my happy home

Love can come and go
Why i sure don't know
Never gonna let her go

You know love, is hard to understand
I said love is hard to understand
But it sure feels good to know that i aaaam her man

Love can come and go
Why i sure don't know
Never gonna let her go

Time Was lyrics - Canned Heat

Time was... when we got along
Time was... when we got along
It's too bad, that the feeling's gone

Time was... when we could agree
Time was... when we could agree
That time's gone, now you find fault with me

I've got time, things will work out fine

Trouble... will not wreck my life
Trouble... will not wreck my life
Someday you'll like, what I'm putting down

Big Fat (The Fat Man) lyrics - Canned heat

They call, they call me the fat man 
'cause I weigh two hundred pounds. 
All the girls do love me 
'cause I know my way around. 

I was standing, I was standing on the corner 
Of Rampart and Canal. 
I was watching, watching. 
Watching all Creole gals. 

I'm going, going, goin' away 
And I'm going, goin' to stay 
'cause women and bad life 
They're carryin' this soul away.

Poor Moon lyrics - Canned Heat

Ever since I was a kid
You sure looked good to me
Now I'm a man full-grown, and I
Know what I hate to see
(Oh well)
It might be tomorrow
(Oh well)
I just don't know
(Oh well)
It might take years
I wonder when they're going to
Destroy your face
It may seem silly, but I don't like
What's been coming down
'Cause you've been looking good too long
To change your colour now
(Oh well)
They might test some bomb
(Oh well)
And scar your skin
(Oh well)
I don't think they care, so
I wonder when they're going to
Destroy your face
I hope I see you in the sky
At night when I get old
I hope you'll look about the same
As when I was a boy
(Oh well)
It gets me to gasping
(Oh well)
When I think about
(Oh well)
What they might do
I wonder when they're going to
Destroy your face
Well, you sure look good
In the sky at night
And it's sad to say
You won't shine so bright
Some day
When they're through with you
I bet you've seen the cloud we make
That covers up our rain
I wonder if you'll hide behind
A shroud like that some day
(Oh well)
I'm worried about it
(Oh well)
It makes me sigh
(Oh well)
I just can't help it
I wonder when they're going to
Destroy your face
(Oh well)
It might be tomorrow
(Oh well)
I just don't know
(Oh well)
It might take years
I wonder when they're going to
Destroy your face

"Living The Blues" (1968)




Pony Blues lyrics - Canned Heat

Baby, saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare
Baby, saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare
I'm gonna find a rider, baby, in the world somewhere

"Hello central, the matter with your line?"
"Hello central, matter, Lord, with your line?"
"Come a storm last night an' tore the wire down"

Got a brand new Shetland, man, already trained
Brand new Shetland, baby, already trained
Just get in the saddle, tighten up on your reins

And a brownskin woman like somethin' fit to eat
Brownskin woman like somethin' fit to eat
But a jet black woman, don't put your hands on me

Took my baby, to meet the mornin' train
Took baby, meet that mornin' train
An' the blues come down, baby, like showers of rain

I got somethin' to tell you when I gets a chance
Somethin' to tell you when I get a chance
I don't wanna marry, just wanna be your man

Walking By Myself lyrics - Canned Heat

You know I love you.
You know it's true.
Give you all my love, babe.
What more can I do?

Walking by myself,
I hope you'll understand.
I just want to be your lovin' man.

I love ya, yes I love you
With my heart and soul.
I wouldn't mistreat you
For my weight in gold.

You know I love you.
You know it's true.
Give you all my love, babe.
What more can I do?

Walking by myself,
I hope you'll understand.
I just want to be your lovin' man.

Here we go!
Keep on walkin'!

You know I love you.
You know it's true.
I give you all my [?] babe.
What more can I do?

I'm walking by myself,
I hope you'll understand.
I just want to be your lovin' man.

I said I'm walking by myself,
I hope you'll understand.
I just want to be your lovin',
I just want to be your lovin',
I just want to be your lovin' man.
That's right.

Parthenogenesis (Medley) lyrics - Canned Heat

[I - Nebulosity]

[II – Rollin' And Tumblin']

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

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.
