Verse 2 When I wasjust a baby, my mama told me "Son, Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns." But I shot a man in Reno,just to watch him die. When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.
Verse 3 I bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dinin' car; They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars. Well, I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free; But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me.
Verse 4 Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move to over a little farther down the line; Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay, And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.

Verse 2 Wild about my toodle-oh; when I gets my toodle-oh, It makes my love come down, want every pound. Hear me cryin', it makes my love come down. Likes my coffee, likes my tea; daffy about my stingeree. It makes my love come down, I wanna be around. Oh, sweet papa, it makes my love come down.
Verse 3 If you want to hear me rave, honey, give me what I crave. It makes my love come down, actin' like a clown. Can't help from braggin', it makes my love come down. Come on and be my desert sheik, you're so strong and I'm so weak. It makes my love come down, to be love-land bound. Red hot papa, it makes my love come down.
Verse 4 If you want me for your own, kiss me nice and leave me alone. It makes my love come down, it makes my love come down. Take me bye-bye, it makes my love come down. When you take me for a ride, when I'm close up by your side, It makes my love come down, ridin' all around. Easy ridin' makes my love come down.

Verse 2 When we lived in a small town, you was nice and neat. (Twice) I brought you to Chicago, you do nothin' but walk the street.
Verse 3' Well, she used to cook my breakfast and bring it to my bed. She used to wash my face and even comb my hair. She's so evil I don't know what to do. You treat me so low and dirty, And I can't get along without you.

Verse 2 Now I stand at my window, wring my hands and cry. I hate to lose that woman, hate to say goodbye. You know she left me; yes, she left me. My baby even left me, never said a word.
Verse 3 Baby, one of these mornings, Lord, it won't be long, You'll look for me, baby, and Daddy he'll be gone. You know you left me, you know you left me. My baby even left me, never said goodbye.
Verse 4 Now I stand at my window, wring my hands and moan. All I know is that the one I love is gone. My baby left me, you know she left me.

Verse 2 Time after time, if I'm not right there at his heels, He lets that poor horse in my stable miss his meals. There's got to be some changes, 'cos each day reveals My handy man ain't handy no more. He used to turn in early and get up at dawn, And, full of new ambitions, he would trim the lawn. Now, when he isn't sleeping, all he does is yawn! My handy man ain't handy no more.
Bridge Once he used to have so much endurance; Now it looks like he needs life insurance. I used to brag about my handy man's technique; Around the house he was a perfect indoor sheik. but now the spirit's willing but the flesh is weak! My handy man ain't handy no more.

Verse 2 Now listen here, sweet baby, I ain't no lyin' man; If you warm my wiener one time you'll want to warm him again. Baby, please warm my wiener; oh, warm my wiener. Won't youjust warm my wiener, 'cos he really don't feel right cold.
Verse 3 Says some say to take hot water, baby can't you see; But your heat, baby, is plenty warm enough for me. Baby, please warm my wiener; please warm my wiener. Won't youjust warm my wiener, 'cos he really don't feel right cold.
Verse 4 Now listen here, sweet baby, you know that time is growing old; . I don't want you to warm half of my wiener, I want you to warm him all. Baby, please warm my wiener; baby, please warm my wiener. Won't you warm my wiener, 'cos he really don't feel right cold.

Verse 2 Now I can tell your future, before it comes to pass. I can do things for you, make your heart feel glad. I can look in the skies, and predict the rain. I can tell when a woman's got another man. I'm the one, etc.
Verse 3 I can hold you close and squeeze you tight. I can make you grab for me, both day and night. I can heal the sick, I can raise the dead. I can make you, little girl, talk out of your head. I'm the one, etc.
Verse 4 I can talk these words, and sound so sweet, And make your lovin' heart even skip a beat. I can take you, baby, hold you in my arms, And make the flesh quiver lovely forms.

Verse 2 I got nineteen men and I won't want no mo'. (Twice) If I had one more, I'd let that nineteen go. Verse 3 It's hard to love another woman's man. (Twice) Can't catch him when you want him, you got to catch him when you can. Verse 4 Have you ever seen a preacher throw a sweet potato pie? (Twice) Just step in my backyard and taste a piece of mine.

Verse 2 It could be a spoonful of coffee, it could be a spoonful of tea; But a little spoon of your precious love is good enough for me. Men lies about that spoonful, Some of them dies about that spoonful, Some of them cries about that spoonful. But everybody fight about that spoonful; That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful.
Verse 3 It could be a spoonful of water, saved from the desert sand; But one spoon of luck from my little forty five save me from another man.

me._ (See over for block lyrics)
Verse 2 Been to the Gypsy to get my fortune told; To the Gypsy, to get my fortune told. 'Cos I'm most wild about my jelly roll. Gypsy done told me: "Don't you wear no black." Yes she done told me: "Don't you wear no black; Go to St. Louis, you can win him back." Help me to Cairo, make St. Louis by myself; Gone to Cairo, find my old friend Jeff. Goin' to pin myself close to his side; If I flag his train, I sure can ride. I love that man like a schoolboy loves his pie; Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint and rye. I'll love my baby till the day I die.
Verse 3 You ought to see that stovepipe brown of mine; Like he owns the diamond Joseph line. He'd make a cross-eyed old man go stone blind. Blacker than midnight, teeth like flags of truce; Blackest man in the whole St. Louis. Blacker the berry, sweeter is thejuice. About a crap game, he knows a powerful lot; But when work time comes, he's on the dot. Goin' to ask him for a cold ten spot; What it takes to get it, he's certainly got. A black-headed gal make a freight trainjump the track; Said a black-headed gal make a freight trainjump the track. But a red-headed woman makes a preacher ball thejack.

Verse 2 A-well my 'n' Poppa told me "Son, you gotta make some money, If you wanna use the car to go a-ridin' next Sunday." Well, I did'nt go to work, told the boss I was sick. "Now you can't use the car 'cos you didn't work a lick."
Sometimes I wonder, etc. Verse 3 I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation. Gonna take my problem to the United Nations. Well, I called my Congressman, and he said "Nope, I'd like to help you, son, but you're too young to vote."
Sometimes I wonder, etc.

Verse 2 When you in trouble, blues is a man's best friend. (Twice) Blues ain't gonna ask you where you goin', and the blues ain't gonna ask you where you been.
Verse 3 We can't let the blues die, blues don't mean no harm. (Twice) I'm gonna move back in the lowlands, that's where the blues come from.

Verse 3 Please don't hold it, baby, when I cry; Give me every bit of it or else I'll die. I'm wild about that thing, I'm wild about that thing; All the time I'm cryin', I'm wild about that thing.

Order No. AM952479 Jack Long Jack Long's career began in his teens when he played piano with many luminaries of the British jazz world. He first came to the attention of the music industry in the 1970s as a big band arranger with his transcriptions of some of the classic American recordings in this genre • all still widely played today. He has since acted as musical director for several well-known entertainers, notably Ray Ellington, and worked as a session pianist and accompanist, while combining a parallel career in contemporary 'serious' music, editing for a number of publishers, including Chester and Novello, and composers such as Alexander Goe hr. His own compositions have featured in film and television productions along with a wide range of original material for innumerable singers, producers such as Bruce Welch, and ensembles of all descriptions, including the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. An experienced arranger, both in broadcasting and recording, his credits range from small studio groups to 150-piece orchestra and chorus.
