One two three...
Ruby, Ruby, where you been so long
Done took to drinkin' whiskey
Baby since you been gone
Ain't no one I know do it as good as you
Lickin' on that lickin' stick the way you do
You got the lips to make a strong man weak
And a heathen pray
Tell you ain't just the way you speak

You know it's just the way you go down
Go down, go down, go down, go down

Well it's a dog eat dog, eat cat too
The French eat frog, and I eat you
Business man when you make a deal
Do you know who you can trust
Do you sign your life away
Do you write your name in dust

Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has its day
It's a dog eat dog, dog eat dog

Dog eat dog, read the news
Someone win, someone lose
Up's above and down's below
And limbo's in between
Up you win, down you lose

In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the smoltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said -

Let there be sound , and there was sound
Let there be light , and there was light
Let there be drums , and there was drums

On the day I was born
The rain fell down
There was trouble brewin' in my home town
It was the seventh day
I was the seventh son
And it scared the hell out of everyone

They said drop, I said go
They said fast, I said slow
They said lost, I said no
I do the bad boy boogie

Bein' a bad boy ain't that bad
I had me more dirty women than most men ever had
All you women come along with me

Cop this
I'm hot, and when I'm not
I'm cold as ice
Get out of my way
Just Step aside
Or pay the price

What I want I take
What I don't I break
And I don't want you
With a flick of my knife
I can change your life
There's nothing you can do

I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child, yes I am
I'm a problem child
And I'm wild

Make my stand
No man's land
On my own
Man in blue
It's up to you

I never smoked me no cigarettes
I never drank much booze
But I'm only a man doncha understand
A man can sometimes lose
You gave me somethin' I never had
Pulled me down with you
Hit me up with a big hunka love
Hope you can pull you through

I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy but it's true,
Ain't nothin' I can do
I overdosed on you

Oh woman you give to me
More than I can take

Hey you, yeah you

Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot
Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not
Puts me down, fool me around
Why she do it to me
Out for satisfaction
Any piece of action
That ain't the way it should be

She needs lovin'
Knows I'm the man
She's gotta see
Pours my beer
Licks my ear
Brings out the devil in me
Hell ain't a bad place to be

Spends my money
Drinks my booze

Wanna tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
Oh! She steals the show

She ain't exactly pretty
She ain't exactly small
Forty two, Thirty nine, Fifty six
You could say she got it all

Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doin' all the things
Doin' all the things you do

Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bones
But you got to give it all you got

Well they moved on down
And they crawled around
Walkin' sideways
Sideway walkin'
Give me the blues

And you start to scratch
When they start to hatch
Walkin' sideways
Sideway walkin'
Give me the blues

Oh, but when they start to bite
Then it's time you saw the light
For an appointment, I know
Before you start to scream
That's when you apply the cream
Blues ointment

Oh well the doctor said
