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 lyrics - Canned Heat

You got to help me

You got to help me, baby

You know if you don't help me darling

But you help me babe

You know if you don't help me darling

I'll find myself somebody else

When I walk, walk with me

When I talk, you talk to me

Oh baby, I can't do it all by myself

You know if you don't help me darling

I'll have to find myself somebody else

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

Lord, sun gon' shine in

My backdoor, someday

A wind gon' change all

Blow my blues away

Baby, what made you do

A-don't ya hear me talkin', pretty mama?

Taken this poor boy's money

Taken the po' boy's money, now

Gon' carry somebody else

Cryin', sun gon' shine on

My back door someday

A-don't you hear me talkin', pretty mama?

My back door someday

And a wind gon' change and

Blow my blues away.

Bring It On Home lyrics - Canned Heat

Baby, baby,

I'm gonna bring it on home to you

I done bought my ticket, I got my load

Conductor done hollered, "All, aboard"

Take my seat and ride way back,

And watch this train move down the track

Baby, baby,

I'm gonna bring it on home to you

I think about the good times I once have had

Soul got happy now, my heart got glad

I think about the way you love me too

You can bet your life, I'm comin home to you

I'm goin home,

I'm gonna bring it on home, now

I'm gonna bring it on home, now

I'm gonna bring it on home, now

Gonna bring it on home,

Bring it on home to you

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

You gotta do yourself a favor gotta chase all your blues away

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
