Well all you ladies gather 'roundThat good sweet candy man's in townIt's the candy manIt's the candy manHe likes a stick of candy just nine inch longHe sells as fast a hog can chew his cornIt's the candy manAll heard what sister Johnson saidShe always takes a candy stick to bedDon't stand close to the candy manHe'll leave a big candy stick in your handHe sold some candy to sister BadThe very next day she took all he hadIf you try his candy, good friend of mineYou sure will want it for a long long timeHis stick candy don't melt awayIt just gets better, so the ladies say

This is the 'Coffee Blues', I likes a certain brand
Maxwell's House, it's good till the last drop
Just like it says on the can, I used to have a girl
Cookin' a good Maxwell House, she moved away
Some said to Memphis and some said to Leland

But I found her, I wanted her to cook me
Some good Maxwell's House, you understand?
If I can get me just a spoonful of Maxwell's House
Do me much good as two or three cups this other coffee

I've got to go to Memphis, bring her back to Leland
I wanna see my baby 'bout a lovin' spoonful, my lovin' spoonful
Well, I'm just got to have my lovin', I found her

Good mornin', baby, how you do this mornin'?
Well, please, ma'am, just a lovin' spoon, just a lovin' spoonful
I declare, I got to have my lovin' spoonful
My baby packed her suitcase and she went away
I couldn't let her stay for my lovin', my lovin' spoonful
Well, I'm just got to have my lovin'

Good mornin', baby, how you do this mornin'?
Well, please, ma'am, just a lovin' spoon, just a lovin' spoonful
I declare, I got to have my lovin' spoonful

Well, the preacher in the pulpit, jumpin' up and down
He laid his Bible down for his lovin'
Ain't Maxwell House all right?
Well, I'm just got to have my lovin'

Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining bright,
when you and I made love
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you,
I moaned like a turtle dove
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
I'm coming home, no more to roam,
darling I'm coming home
I'm coming home, no more to roam,
darling I'm coming home
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining bright,
when you and I made love
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you,
I moaned like a turtle dove

There's hot time in the old town, down town tonight
Hot times in old town tonight
There's hot time in the old town, down town tonight
Hot times in old town tonight

Oh, come and go with me down in old town tonight
It's hot times in old town tonight
Yes, come and go with me down in old town tonight
Hot time in old town tonight

[Incomprehensible]
I'm going down to bring my baby back
It's hot times in old town, down town tonight
Hot times in old town tonight

I'm going down with razor, yes, in my hand
I'm going down looking for that man
It's hot times in the old town, down town tonight
Hot times in old town tonight

I said, [Incomprehensible]
I'm going down to bring my baby back
It's hot times in the old town, down town tonight
Hot time in old town tonight

She walked down the yard, caught the longest train she seen
She walked down the yard, caught the longest train she seen
Said, she'd ride and ride "till the blues wear offa me"
It's two bullyin' freight trains runnin' side by side
It's two bullyin' freight trains runnin' side by side
They done stole my rider and I guess they's satisfied
They rode in the Delta, kept on easin' by
They rode in the Delta, kept on easin' by
Know I feel just like she said her last goodbye
Friend, she won't write, she won't telephone
Friend, she won't write, she won't telephone
Makes me believe to my soul rider calls that "gone"
But if I had wings, friend, like Noah's dove
Friend, if I had wings, friend, like Noah's dove
I would raise and fly, God knows, where my lover was
I laid down at night, I can't sleep at all
I laid down at night, I can't sleep at all
Awful lyin' there wondering if someone rollin' in her arms
Laid my head on my pillow, friends, it be's too high
Laid my head on my pillow, friends, it be's too high
Taken down with, I'm gettin' sick and 'bout to die

Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining bright,
when you and I made love
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you,
I moaned like a turtle dove
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
I'm coming home, no more to roam,
darling I'm coming home
I'm coming home, no more to roam,
darling I'm coming home
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining bright,
when you and I made love
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you,
I moaned like a turtle dove
