boogie music has a pretty sound,
it might even turn your head around,
it might turn your head around.
when i heard it on the radio,
you know i fell out on the floor, i fell out on the floor

it can lift you up, it won't drag you down
we'remtalkin' about music, sweet soul music,
once you get that feelin', i bet you'll never lose it
you can shake your head, and stomp your feet
yeah you boogie to the music child, it can't be beat,

it will raise the dead child,
it will make a blind man see
well, if you listen to the boogie
you can all be free

boogie music has a pretty sound,
it might even turn your head around,
it might turn your head around.
when i heard it on the radio,
you know i fell out on the floor, i fell out on the floor

Traditional

Baby, saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare
Baby, saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare
I'm gonna find a rider, baby, in the world somewhere

"Hello central, the matter with your line?"
"Hello central, matter, Lord, with your line?"
"Come a storm last night an' tore the wire down"

Got a brand new Shetland, man, already trained
Brand new Shetland, baby, already trained
Just get in the saddle, tighten up on your reins

And a brownskin woman like somethin' fit to eat
Brownskin woman like somethin' fit to eat
But a jet black woman, don't put your hands on me

Took my baby, to meet the mornin' train
Took baby, meet that mornin' train
An' the blues come down, baby, like showers of rain

I got somethin' to tell you when I gets a chance
Somethin' to tell you when I get a chance
I don't wanna marry, just wanna be your man

Rodgers

You know I love you.
You know it's true.
Give you all my love, babe.
What more can I do?

Walking by myself,
I hope you'll understand.
I just want to be your lovin' man.

I love ya, yes I love you
With my heart and soul.
I wouldn't mistreat you
For my weight in gold.

You know I love you.
You know it's true.
Give you all my love, babe.
What more can I do?

Walking by myself,
I hope you'll understand.
I just want to be your lovin' man.

Here we go!
Keep on walkin'!

You know I love you.
You know it's true.
I give you all my --, babe.
What more can I do?

I'm walking by myself,
I hope you'll understand.
I just want to be your lovin' man.

I said I'm walking by myself,
I hope you'll understand.
I just want to be your lovin',
I just want to be your lovin',
I just want to be your lovin' man.
That's right.

Well it's a low down kinda condition
Been running round my brain
Says it may drive me insane

And every organism
That I can hear and see
Seems to have the blues with me

So I went to the doctor
Sat down on her bed
Looked up right at her
This is what she said

"You're in a human condition
That's what's got you down
Human condition
Your face is full of frowns
You've got to stand your ground"

"Well, you're sad, weak and weary"
She went on to say
"Nothing seems to go your way"

"And though you've tried and tried
You can't be satisfied
No-one seems to treat you right"

"But there's one thing for certain
That you ought to know
There's been lots of people
In that scene before"

"You're in a human condition
That's what's got you down
Human condition
Your face is full of frowns
You've got to stand your ground"

Well I stood up and I left her
And slowly walked away
Looking for a brighter day

And as I thought about it
A new thought came to me
Maybe we cannot be free

Well a whole lot of bad things
The world might throw at you
Stand up straight and strong
It's the only thing to do

You're in a human condition
That's what's got you down
Human condition
Your face is full of frowns
You've got to stand your ground

Gee I’m feelin mighty mighty lonesome
Gee I’m feelin mighty mighty lonesome
I need her with me and I don’t know what I’m gonna do

She even told me right from the start
If I ever leave you Daddy gonna break your heart
Every time I think about it makes me feel so blue.

Well my baby she wrote me a note
And this was the answer that I wrote
Come on babe don’t sing the blues with me
I’m just as sweet as any man gonna be
She even told me right to me face
Any old man, yeah could take my place

I’m getting tired of my lowdown ways
I’m going back to my baby today
Come on Honey, please don’t bluff,
I wanna trip out tonight I wanna strut my stuff
I mean I wanna strut my stuff

Dixon

Baby, baby,

Conductor done hollered, "All, aboard"
Take my seat and ride way back,
And watch this train move down the track

Baby, baby,

I think about the good times I once have had
Soul got happy now, my heart got glad
I think about the way you love me too
You can bet your life, I'm comin home to you

When I came here last year
You promised much to me
When I came here last year
You promised much to me
You lead me on and teased me
You picked me up and let me down

When I asked you here for dinner
And you brought all your friends
When I asked you here for dinner
And you brought all your friends
I said here I am feeding half of London
And all I should be feeding here is you

Well I took you to the music show
And we wound up in your home
Well I took you to the music show
And we wound up in your home
But you ran away and hid from me
Left me walking the streets (of London) all alone

Now you call me on the telephone
There's a concert you wanna see
Now you call me on the telephone
There's a concert you wanna see
Cause the Heat's in your town
And your living right down the street
On your way to the concert
You want to stop by the hotel a while
If you don't stop by the hotel, you can go straight to hell

Leiber-Stoller

Well I was walkin' down the street
Mindin' my own affairs
When two policemen come up from behind
And grab me unawares
They said "You big bad Burton Cummings?"
I said "Why sure!"
They said "You're the cat we been lookin' for!"
Well, I was framed.
Framed, framed, framed I was blamed
Framed, framed, framed
Well I never do nothin'
But I always get framed
Well they took me to the lineup
And let those bright lights shine
There were 6 poor souls like me
Standin' up there in that line
The judge got a witness
And got her way up on the witness stand
A woman jump up, start screamin'
"That's your man!"
I was framed.
Framed, framed, framed I was blamed
Framed, framed, framed
Well I never do nothin'
But I always get framed
Well the prosecutin' attorney started prosecutin' me
Man, I mean that cat let loose and gave me the third degree
He says "Where were you on the night of July 16th, 1963?"
I said "I was cruisin'... just my sweetie and me..."
I was framed.
Framed, framed, framed I was blamed
Framed, framed, framed
Well I never do nothin'
But I always get framed
I get framed
I get set up
With circumstantial evidence
Innocent bystander, stand by me
I'm gon' need you

Dixon

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold
But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know
That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs
But if you want me, you got to take your time
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

But I got everything all the good girls need
I ... I love you baby
I ... I love you baby
But I got everything all of the good girls need

And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold
Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul
I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Cryin', ain't goin' down this

We could fill a spoon full of coffee
We could fill a spoon full of tea
Well, just a little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me.

Men lied about that
Some of 'em cried about that
Some of ' em died about it.
Everything's a-fightin' about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoon.

We could fill a spoon full of diamonds
We could fill a spoon full of gold
Well, just a little spoon of your precious love
Will satisfy my soul.

Well, just a little spoon of your precious love
Saved you from another man.

How about it? How about it? It takes a lot of people to make it possible,
So give 'em a big hand. Everybody is working to try to make it nicer.
Anyway! As I leave you... a little bit of Sweet Sixteen for the guys -
Just a taste - give me C for Sweet Sixteen...
When I first met you baby, baby you were just sweet sixteen
First met you baby, baby you was just sweet sixteen
Just left your home then baby, oh the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing for me baby, you wouldn't do anything I asked you to
You wouldn't do nothing for me baby, oh you wouldn't do anything I asked you to
You know you ran away from your home baby, and now you wanna run away from old me too
My brother's in Korea baby, my sister's down in New Orleans
Brother's in Korea baby, oh sister sister down in New Orleans
You know I'm having so much troubles people, baby I wonder what in the world is gonna happen to me
Oh yes sweet sixteen baby... sweet sixteen... oh yes

Seems like I heard that lonesome Sunnyland blow
Seems like I heard that lonesome Sunnyland blow
Now it blowing just like it won't be back no more

Well I feel bad this morning, feel just like I want to cry
Feel bad this morning, feel just like I want to cry
Well my baby rode that Sunnyland this mornin',
She didn't even once say goodbye

I got a letter from my baby, and she said she was coming home
Got a letter from my baby, and she said she was coming home
Well sat around waiting, baby, and I hope it won't be long

She said, cool down papa, now you better change your way
She said, cool down papa, and you better change your way
Yeah, it's true, you know I love you baby, and you gonna need my help someday

I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
If I can't find her in West Helena, she must be in East Monroe I know

I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
She's a no good doney, they shouldn't 'low her on the street

I believe, I believe I'll go back home

You can mistreat me here, babe, but you can't when I go home

And I'm gettin' up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom

Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room

If I can't find her on Philippine's Island, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere

How about it? How about it? It takes a lot of people to make it possible,
So give 'em a big hand. Everybody is working to try to make it nicer.
Anyway! As I leave you... a little bit of Sweet Sixteen for the guys -
Just a taste - give me C for Sweet Sixteen...
When I first met you baby, baby you were just sweet sixteen
First met you baby, baby you was just sweet sixteen
Just left your home then baby, oh the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing for me baby, you wouldn't do anything I asked you to
You wouldn't do nothing for me baby, oh you wouldn't do anything I asked you to
You know you ran away from your home baby, and now you wanna run away from old me too
My brother's in Korea baby, my sister's down in New Orleans
Brother's in Korea baby, oh sister sister down in New Orleans
You know I'm having so much troubles people, baby I wonder what in the world is gonna happen to me
Oh yes sweet sixteen baby... sweet sixteen... oh yes
The sweetest thing baby, oh yes
The sweetest thing I ever seen
You know I'm having so much trouble people, baby I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me
Sweet sixteen... sweet sixteen oh yes
You know I'm having so much trouble people
Baby I wonder
Yes I wonder
Baby I wonder
I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me

This is a song with a message
I want you to heed my warning
I wanna tell you all a story
About this chick I know
They call her "Amphetamine Annie"
She's always shovelling snow
I sat her down and told her
I told her crystal clear
"I don't mind you getting high
But there's one thing you should fear"
"Your mind might think its flying, baby
On those little pills
But you ought to know it's dying, 'cause
Speed kills"
But Annie kept on speeding
Her health was getting poor
She saw things in the window
She heard things at the door
Her mind was like a grinding mill
Her lips were cracked and sore
Her skin was turning yellow
I just couldn't take it no more
She thought her mind was flying
On those little pills
She didn't it was going down fast, 'cause
Speed kills
Well I sat her down and told her
I told her one more time
"The whole wide human race has taken
Far too much methedrine"
She said "I don't care what a Limey says,
I've got to get it on
I'm not here to just see no man
Who come from across the pond
She wouldn't heed my warning
Lord, she wouldn't hear what I said
Now she's in the graveyard, and she's
Awfully dead

I went to Denver
Late last fall
I went to do my job
Yeah I didn't break any law
We worked a hippie place
Like many in our land
They couldn't bust the place
And so they got the band
'Cause the police in Denver
No, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around
And that's the reason why
They want to tear Canned Heat's reputation down
You people in Denver
Will know what I mean
Yeah, the things I'm gonna tell ya
Yeah, you've all heard and seen
You remember when a cop on the beat
Used to rob and steal
Today they're gone, but the others get it on
So you know just how I feel
'Cause the police in Denver
Lord, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around
And that's the reason why
They try to tear Canned Heat's reputation down
Yeah, they try to tear it down, boy
They ain't gonna do it though
Let me tell you this just one more time
Just one more thing I wanna tell ya
Before I go
It's a shame the Man in Denver
Has to lie and mistreat people so
Now six months ain't no sentence
One year ain't no time
When I hear from one to ten
It worries my troubled mind
'Cause the police in Denver
Lord, don't want no long hairs around
And that's the reason why
They try to tear Canned Heat's reputation down

Well, I'm so tired of crying
But I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well, I'm so tired of crying
But I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
I ain't got no woman
Just to call my special friend

You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow
I didn't have no payroll
Not even no place to go

And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son."

Take a hint from me, mama
Please don't you cry no more -
Don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me, mama
Please don't you cry no more -
Don't you cry no more
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going

But I ain't going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
But I ain't going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
I can't carry you, baby
Gonna carry somebody else

I roll and I tumble, cried the whole night long
Yes I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long
I got up this morning, feeling that something going on wrong

Well now want you to love me baby, or please let me be
Yes love me baby, or please let me be
If you don't like my peaches please don't shake my tree

Well I want you to love me baby, and come on and say you'll be mine
I want you to love me baby, come and say you'll be mine
If you don't like my potatoes, please don't dig up my vine

Time was... when we got along
Time was... when we got along
It's too bad, that the feeling's gone

Time was... when we could agree
Time was... when we could agree
That time's gone, now you find fault with me



I've got time, things will work out fine

Trouble... will not wreck my life
Trouble... will not wreck my life
Someday you'll like, what I'm putting down

This is a song with a message
I want you to heed my warning

Woman, when I see you comin', should have started runnin
evil woman
woman offered you my soul
you ran it over hot coals
evil woman

Woman, thought you were a best send
but when i caught you messin'
Well woman
You ain't got no feelin'
catch your dirty dealin'

Evil woman don't you know what your actin'
Evil woman can't you see that I'm beggin' you

Woman, when you whisper to me
all the ways you do me
Evil woman

Woman when you work your way in
gettin' under my skin
Evil woman

Yeah woman, the way you laughed at my pain
the way your flippin' my brain
yeah woman there are other choices
but I didn't hear their voices

evil woman can't you see when your fallin'
evil woman can't you see the devil is callin' you

Evil woman don't you know what your wreckin'
Evil woman can't you see that I'm beggin' you
Evil woman can't you see that I'm beggin' you

Woman when your life is (?)
written on the tombstone
evil woman

Evil woman don't you know what your wreckin'
Evil woman can't you see that I'm beggin' you
Evil woman can't you see that I'm beggin' you
I'm begging you baby
Please don't do that baby

Cryin', ain't goin' down this
Big road by myself
A-don't ya hear me talkin', pretty mama?
Lord, ain't goin' down this
Big road by myself
If I don't carry you
Gon car' somebody else

Cryin, sun gon' shine in
My backdoor, someday
A-don't ya hear me talkin', pretty mama?
Lord, sun gon' shine in
My backdoor, someday
A wind gon' change all
Blow my blues away

Baby, what made you do
Things you do-do-do
Like you do-do-do?
Don't you hear me, now?
What made you do me
Like you do-do-do?
Now, you think 'gon do me like you
Done to po' old Cherry Red

Take the poor boy's money, now
Sho' nuff, you won't take mine
A-don't ya hear me talkin', pretty mama?
Taken this poor boy's money
Sho' nuff, won't take mine
Taken the po' boy's money, now
Sure t' God, you won't take mine

Cryin', ain't goin' down this
Big road by myself
A-don't you hear me talkin', pretty mama?
Lord, ain't goin' down this
Big road by myself
If I don't car' you
Gon' carry somebody else

Cryin', sun gon' shine on
My back door someday
A-don't you hear me talkin', pretty mama?
Know sun gon' shine in
My back door someday
And a wind gon' change and
Blow my blues away.
