I love the way you walk
I love the way you walk
I'm crazy 'bout your walk
I love the way you walk
You my babe, I got my eyes on you

I like the way you switch
I like the way you switch
I like the way you switch

You my babe, I got my eyes on you

You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You my babe, I got my eyes on you

Well I see you every day
Well I see you every day
If you need to look
Well I see you every day
Well I see you every day
You my babe, I got my eyes on you

Every night doll
Every night I dream of you
Every night my darlin'
Every night I dream of you
You know I miss you so bad baby
Ever since you walk away

Every night
Every night I sing the blues
Every night time baby
Every night I sing the blues
If I'm late and I want love
I wonder what a baby you could be
Oh every night

Pack your clothes darlin'
Right here back home to me
Pack your clothes darlin'
Bring it back home to me
Because I dream about you baby
Every night and every day

So many days since you went away
I often think of you night and day
But I know that someday, someday darling
I won't be trouble no more
Trouble, trouble and misery
Is about to get the best of me
But I know that someday, oh someday darling
I won't be trouble no more

I told you my story, I sang my song
About you leaving baby, you know that's wrong
But oh, someday, someday darling
I won't be trouble no more

(John Lee Hooker / James Bracken)

Well my mama she didn't 'low me
Just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well my mama didn't 'low me
Just to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low
I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I first came to town people
I was walkin' down Hastings Street
Everybody was talkin' about
the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there
I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball!

Yes, I know
Boogie Chillun

One night I was layin' down,
I heard mama 'n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama
Let that boy boogie-woogie
It's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good
And I went on boogie'n just the same

When I first thought to hobo'in, hobo'in,
I took a freight train to be my friend, oh Lord
You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd,
Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh Lord

Yes, my mother followed me that mornin', me that mornin'
She followed me down to the yard, oh yeah
She said my son he'd gone, he'd gone, he'd gone
Yes he's gone in a, poorsome wear*, oh yeah

Yes I left my dear old mother, dear old mother
I left my honor, need* a crime, oh Lord
Take care of my child,
Take care, take care of my child

(John Lee Hooker / Bernard Besman)

You know you called me up on your telephone
You want me to take you for a ride
This is hip pretty baby
This is hip pretty baby

Working on the road across this great big world
I've been rolling like a stone, I never get back home
Yes, I've been long-gone
And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

Been across the ocean to the south sea isles
Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles
And I've been long-gone
And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

Across the world I've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name

I wouldn't change the things I do for anything
But I'd just like to hear the message of the streets again
Give me a ticket
Cause boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet
Industrial Revolution put it on its feet
But it's a long, long way
Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

Across the world I've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name

I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet
They'll say "You won't stay long, you got them travelling feet
You'll soon be long-gone
'Cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"

Across the world I've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name

Across the world I've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name

It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone

You see I'm living in the memory
Of a day that has passed and gone

Everytime i see a woman
You know it makes me think about mine
Everytime i see a woman
You know it makes me think about mine

You see I'm living in the memory
Of a woman I've left behind

It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone

Now I'm living in the memory
Of a woman that has passed and gone
