Money and Cigarettes lyrics

I took my baby to see a show.
She was telling me she didn't want to go.
I said, "Come on girl, what's the matter with you?"
But I could tell by the smell that she'd had a few.

[Chorus:]
I said hold on girl don't get too tight,
You started early and we've got all night.
You've got to take it easy, take it slow.
We don't want the whole world to know
About the shape you're in.

by Eric Clapton

Well, if you're looking for a winner, then you know you've got to go with me.
I've got more ashes than Wednesday and you know I can brew my tea.
I'm fixing to teach you everything I know,
I'll take you with me baby everywhere I go.
If I can catch you for a minute I know you'll take a chance with me.

So slow down, slow down Linda.

by Eric Clapton

Pretty girl you are the light of my life, I mean my everything
You're the one I chose to make my wife, that's why you wear my ring.
And when I'm feeling down and out, you're the one who will bail me out
My love will always guide me home, pretty girl.

Pretty girl don't ever say goodbye, don't ever let me be,
If you do you know that I will die, you mean that much to me.

by Eric Clapton

You say you do when you don't -- you say you will when you won't.
You make me laugh make me cry -- you make me live make me die.
You put me in put me out -- you make me scream make me shout.
You pick me up put me down -- you make me king make me clown.

I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.
I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.

by Eric Clapton

You're always in my hair, you keep me feeling fine.
I celebrate every time I realize you're really mine

'Cause I'm a man in love, yes I'm a man in love.
I tell it everywhere I go, I want the whole world to know
That I'm a man in love.

I used to be so sad, like a dog without a bone
And then you gave me something baby I had never known.

Chorus

I've got a feeling
we would get serious girl.
'Cause right at this moment
I could promise you the world.
Before we get crazy

before we explode

There's something 'bout me
baby

You got to know

you got to know.

I get off on fifty seven chevies

I get off on a screamin' guitar

Like the way it gets me
every time it hits me.
I've got a rock 'n' roll

I've got a rock 'n' roll heart.

Everybody Oughta Make A Change
(by Sleepy John Estes)

Change in the weather, change in the sea,
Come back baby, you'll find a change in me.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we have to go down in that lonesome ground.

I changed suits, I changed shirts,
I changed, baby, just to get shed of the dirt.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,

by R. G. Ford

I'm a crosscut saw,
Baby, drag me across your log.
I'm a crosscut saw,
Baby, drag me across your log.
I cut your wood so easy for you,
You can't help but say, Hot Dog!

Some call me Woodcutting Sam,
Some call me Woodcutting Jim.
The last girl I cut wood for,
She wants me back again.

I'm a crosscut saw,
Baby, drag me across your log.
I cut your wood so easy for you,

by J. Otis

Way down in a country town one day
A little ole' country band began to play.
They had two guitars and a beat-up saxophone;
When the leader said go them cats began to blow.
Ooh wee oh oh, ooh la la
Let's rock and roll.

Now all the poeple gathered 'round
Just to dig that rockin' rollin' sound.
Suddenly the drummer rang a bell
And all them country cats began to yell.

by Eric Clapton

It ain't no big deal, we're all lucky to be alive,
I myself don't believe in luck, or taking chances, I will survive.
Every move I make, every twist every turn,
You scandalize and humble me, I may be slow but I will learn.

'Cause I ain't going down anymore.
'Cause I ain't going down anymore.
'Cause I ain't going down anymore.
'Cause I ain't going down anymore.
