Yes people are talkin’ all over town
They say you don’t love me
You gonna put me down
You better watch yourself baby
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
Cause I got my eyes on you

Now you tell me what’s the matter
What you gonna do
First you say you love me
Then you say we’re through
You better watch yourself baby
Watch yourself

When that midnight hour went chiming,
I was in my room alone
Yes, when that midnight hour went chiming,
I was in my room alone
Yes, and when I came home this evening,
I found my baby gone

Oh, I laid my head on my pillow,
I gazed up at the stars up above
Yes, I laid my head on my pillow,
Yes, lookin’ up at the stars above
I tell you it’s a miserable feeling,

Oh, I’m so excited, think about you all the time
Yes I can’t wait to see you baby
You really best of my mind
You’re so fine, wanna hold you all the time

Oh, when you touch me baby, tears of joy I’m crying
Oh, when you hold me, chills run up and down my spine
You’re so fine, think about you all the time

Lord I wonder, yes I wonder
Do my baby think of me
Oh, I wonder lord I wonder
Do my baby think of me
Now I wonder, lord I wonder
Will my baby come back to me

Yes she been gone so long
Just can’t stand it no more
Whoah she been gone so long
Just can’t stand it no more
Now I ain’t got nobody
Have no place to go

Yeah, I think when she left me

I’d rather be sloppy drunk than anything I know
I’d rather be sloppy drunk than anything I know
Another half a pint, then you’ll see me go
My gal done quit me, for somebody else
Oh my gal done quit me, for somebody else
Now I’m sloppy drunk again
Sleeping all by myself

Oh I love my whiskey
Tell the world I do
Oh I love my whiskey
Telling the world I do

Have you ever wanted someone
And you thought they didn’t want you
Have you ever, ever wanted someone
And you thought they didn’t want you
You know what you wanted
To say to them, people
But you were afraid she may walk away

Someone like you, baby
Someone like you I ain’t never had
Oh someone, someone like you
Someone like you I ain’t never had

I’ve lost the right to say that I love you,
I’ve lost the right to say that you are fine
Yes, I’ve lost the right to say
that I love you baby,
And I’ve lost the right to say that you are fine
I’ve lost the right to say that I need you like I do now baby
And I’m slowly losing my mind

Oh, you once told me how much you love me,

I walk in my bedroom floor
I hung my head and cry
I gotta find my baby
You know I can´t be satisfied
I gotta find my baby
I declare I wouldn´t lie
You know if I don´t find my baby
I believe i´m gonna lose my mind

Yeah she´s a fine lookin? woman
Her shape is a dream
She´s the loveliest woman people
I declare I ever seen
I gotta find my baby

All day long

I've been thinking about you, baby

With loving you on my mind

I couldn't hardly wait

To get home to you, baby
So I could do a little overtime

Baby, baby, you've been so good to me

I want to understand

If I want a do right woman

Then I've got to be a do right man

So I'm gonna lay another log

On the fire, baby

Before my flame gets too low

Missed the Saturday dance

I heard they crowded the floor

It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

I thought I'd visit the club

Got as far as the door

I just couldn't bear it without you

I don't get around much anymore

Darling I guess

My mind is more at ease

But nevertheless

Why stir up memories

Been invited on dates

Just this morning

I took a big long look around

I've lived it up and loved it up

And done it in this town

Life goes on
Look like it's time

For moving on

Good-bye, baby

I wanna thank you for the ride

We did a dance and took a chance

Nothing we ain't tried

C'est la vie

Time, you and me

Moving on

I'm moving on

I'll see you somewhere down the line

I'm moving on

Hey mr. president
All your congressmen, too
You got me frustrated
And I don’t know what to do
I’m trying to make a living
I can’t save a cent
It takes all of my money
Just to eat and pay my rent
I got the blues
Got those inflation blues

You know, I’m not one
Of those high brows
I’m average joe to you
I came up eating cornbread

I've been down one time

And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

I've been out here so very long

I done lost all my direction

Baby, when you came my way

Thought I had found my protection

But a strong wind came into my life

It surely took me by surprise

I can't seem to control these tears

That's falling from my eyes

I've been around the world, seen everything

And if it's love you want baby just give me a ring

I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues

I've loved in sunshine, I've loved in the rain

All of the women who know me call that loving man

I can't lose with the stuff I use

I'm the king of the blues
