1. STILL GOT THE BLUES

Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time.

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you.

Used to be so easy to fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love was more than just a game
You're playin' to win
But you lose just the same.

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you.

So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you.

Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you.


2. OH PRETTY WOMAN

Oh, pretty woman
Sure's the rising sun
Says all your cheap paint and powder
Ain't gonna help you none.

'Cause she's a pretty woman
Right down to her bone
So you might as well
Leave your skin alone.

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do.

Oh, pretty woman
Whatcha gonna do?
You kept on foolin' around
Till I got stuck on you.

So you can drop your mess
And come down off your throne
Stop using my poor heart
As just a stepping stone.

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do.

Oh, pretty woman
That's all right for you
Now you just go on doing
What you wanna do.

But someday when you think
That you've got it made
You're gettin' water deep enough
So you can't wade.

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do.

Oh, pretty woman
Oh, pretty woman
Oh, pretty woman
Oh, pretty woman
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do
No!

Can't make you love me
No matter what I do
No!
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do.

Oh, pretty woman
I just can't make you love me
Oh, no.


3. TOO TIRED

Yeah!
I laid down last night, too tired to wake
I had a chill this morning, too tired to shake
I got a good poker hand, too tired to win
I can hear my baby knockin', too tired to let her in.

I'm tired
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm tired
Too tired, too tired for anything.

I'm too tired to walk
Too tired to run
I can hear my baby callin'
Too tired, too tired
I'm tired
Yes, I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm too tired for anything.

Take over Albert, I'm too tired for this!

I'm tired of prospherity
I'm tired of luck
I'm sittin' on a pin
I'm too tired to get up.

I'm tired
I declare I'm tired
I'm too tired
too tired for anything.

Oh, Albert I'm tired
You better take over Albert
I'm too tired baby.


4. COLD DAY IN HELL

So many times you tried to take the best of me
So many times, now you're gonna take the rest of me
Better look at what you're doing before it's too late
It's a fine line you're treadin' between love and hate
There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm coming back to you.

So many times you tried to play a dead end game
Yes, you did
I tried to tell you, but you'd never wanna take the blame
Now you've pushed me to the limit, and I can't take no more
You'd better take one last look before I'm out the doo
There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm coming back to you.

You never listened when I told you
That you were way out of line
Too busy talkin' to listen
Accusing me of telling lies.

So many times you tried to get the best of me
Yes, you did
So many times, but now you're gonna take the rest of me
Well, it's too late for sorry and it's too late for tears
Better take one last look before I disappear
There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm coming back to you.

There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm coming back to you.
There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm coming back to you.
Yeah!


5. STORY OF THE BLUES

My baby she left me, my baby she's gone
My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown
Can't think of a reason for going on
From this day I will play the blues.

She said it was over, this time it's the end
Bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend
I still can't believe it, after all we've been through
Everyday I will play the blues.

Everybody knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without
She came from Chicago
She read me the news
In the headlines was a story of the blues.

They say a broken heart can always mend
Time is the healer and sadness will end
But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again?
Till that day I will play the blues.

Everybody knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without
Could have cried me a river
When they told me the news
On that day was a story of the blues.


6. SINCE I MET YOU BABY

I used to wake up in the morning with an aching head
I couldn't remember anything I'd said
My friends told me I was getting out of line
If it wasn't for you baby, I'd be doing time.

Since I met you baby
You've made a new man of me
Since I met you baby
I'm happy as a man could be
Yes, I am.

I used to think I was better than the rest
Ain't no doubt about it, I was no second best
Didn't seem to matter what was right or what was wrong
I did some crazy things before you came along.

Since I met you baby
you've made a new man of me
Since I met you baby
I'm happy as a man could be
Yes, I am.

Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
I'm happy as a man could be
One more time!

Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Well, since I met you baby
I'm happy as a man could be
Yes, I am.

Happy as a man can be
You tell 'em Gary!
Yeah!


7. THE BLUES IS ALRIGHT

Want you to hear me when I say
That the blues is back
And it's here to stay.

I wanna tell you a story
A story all about the blues
I want you to listen to me baby
While I sing it to you
Want you to hear me when I say
That the blues is back
And it's here to stay.

I used to have me somebody
She mean't the whole world to me
But she left me for someone else
Left my heart in misery.
Yes, she did!
But I knew the day she left me
That the blues was gonna be a part of me
Yes, it was.

Since you left me with the blues
It was the last thing I thought I could use
But I'm glad that you left me
Left me with the blues
If you hadn't given me the blues
I wouldn't find myself someone sweet as you.

And I'm gonna tell you
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
Allright , allright
Allright , allright
Every day and night.

Here we go Albert!
One more time!

Since you left me with the blues
It was the last thing I thought I could use
But I'm glad that you left me
Left me with the blues
If you hadn't given me the blues
I wouldn't find myself someone sweet as you.

And I'm gonna sing it
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
Allright , allright
Allright , allright
every day and night.

I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
Allright , allright
It's allright , allright
Every day and night.

One more time!

I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright
Hey, hey, the blues is allright
It's allright , allright
It's allright , allright
It's allright , allright
It's allright , allright
It's allright every day and every night.

Yes, it is!
Want you to hear me when I say
That the blues is back
And it's here to stay
The blues is allright!
