Next To Her Fire - Big Daddy Crow

I crawled up next to her fire
Just so that I wouldn’t freeze
But laying next to her fire
It felt so cold to me

When winter’s first raindrops fell
I was a-walking to you
I got soaked down to my bones
I walked my feet through my shoes

You let me into your house
You led me into your room
And even inside your bed
It was still raining on me

You know, I’ve known many girls
But none who do as you do
You let me do as I please
Long as I do it for you

Next To Her Fire

Furry Lewis - Big Daddy Crow, Lyrics W.E. Lewis

Last night I dreamt the world was caving in
Wasn’t nothing at all, just my woman coming home again

My woman’s got a mouth like a light house in the sea
And when she smiles, she shines her light down on me

Do It for Me - Big Daddy Crow

You know I can remember when I was three years old
Well, I saw a little girl rolling her play dough
Won’t you do it for me?

I’ve got a long way left to travel, and honey I can’t carry you
But you can walk besides me, I’d sure love it if you do
Won’t you do it for me?

You know I get down on my knees when I feel like crying
I say: “Please, Mister Jesus, turn this water into wine!”
Won’t you do it for me?

You know, you can lift your nose at every little thing I do
But come on now, mama, you’re gonna have to boogie too
Won’t you do it for me?

Do It for Me

Spoonful - W.J. Dixon

It could be a spoonful of silver
It could be a spoonful of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Satisfies my soul

Some men lie about that
Some men cry about that
Some men die about that
Everybody’s fighting about a spoonful

It could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful of tea
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me

Some men lie about that
Some men cry about that
Some men die about that
Everybody’s fighting about a spoonful

It could be a spoonful of water
To save me from the desert sands
A spoonful of lead from my .45
Is gonna save me from a pushy man

Some men lie about that
Some men cry about that
Some men die about that
Everybody’s fighting about a spoonful

It could be a spoonful of whiskey
It could be a spoonful of coke
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Is gonna sooth my little heart that broke

Some men lie about that
Some men cry about that
Some men die about that
Everybody’s fighting about a spoonful

Spoonful

Ball and Chain - W.M. Thornton

Sitting down by my window looking out at the rain
Something came along and grabbed a hold of me
And it felt like a ball and chain

I said: “Oh, how can it be?”
I heard you were leaving today
And all I ever wanted to do was just to love you

Love’s got a hold of me, baby
And it feels like a ball and chain
I hope someone here can please tell me
Why the man I love wants to leave me in so much pain

I said: “Oh, how can it be?”
I heard you were leaving today
And all I ever wanted to do was just to love you

I said: “Oh, well, it feels like a ball and chain”
Something came along and grabbed a hold of me
And it felt like a ball and chain

Talk To Me Nice

The Groove - Big Daddy Crow

It’s been a long time coming, Itís been brewing in the dark
You can hear It bark, you can hear It howl, you can hear It

You know It’s coming now, It’s been coming along
It’s been burning near and It’s been burning strong

Well, I can see It in your blue eyes
You know when It arrives

It’s been whispering to me, with a whisper It’s been teasing
Well, It’s coming up, It’s coming up for the pleasing

Now It’s shouting up the hall, It’s coming way too fast
It’s been coming for some time, but honey It’s here at last

Well, I can see It in your blue eyes
You know when It arrives

It’s been lurking, like a smoke ring It’s been smirking
You know when It arrives

Well, I can see It in your blue eyes
You know when It arrives

The Groove

Spider Blues - Big Daddy Crow

I see that spider crawling up that wall
He’s crawling up to get his ashes hauled

He’s creeping with eight legs, you’re sneaking with two
Well, I see him spin his web, just like you know you do

He with his black fangs, you with your red lips
Well, I’m drinking in your venom, with every little sip-by-sip

Spider Blues

Trouble - Big Daddy Crow

I believe I’ll build me a house in a redwood tree
Right at the top, so high that no-one could reach
I’ve got so much to give, but nobody wants nothing from me

Well, I’ve been down for so long that it seems like up to me
When I get back up, the air’s too thin to breathe

If I catch myself thinking, then I’ve got you on my mind
If I’m thinking about you, then I just can’t keep from crying
Well, I can’t stop thinking, so I stay drunk all the time

Well, I’m troubled now and I’m troubled all the time
I hope you never have no troubles, no troubles such as mine

I’m trying my best to pretend that we have never met
So I’m writing this song just to get you out of my head

Well, I’m troubled now and I’m troubled all the time
I hope you never have no troubles, no troubles such as mine

Trouble

Leaving Blues - C.A. Burnett, Arranged Big Daddy Crow

I’m gonna leave you woman,
before I commit a crime
I’m gonna leave this town,
leave my feather bed behind

I’m gonna leave you woman,
gonna leave you far behind
God only knows I will

You say you love me woman,
you’ve told me a hundred times
You’ve got my name on your lips,
but another man’s on your mind

I’m gonna leave you woman,
I’m not coming back this time
Well, you can’t make me stay,
I’ve got leaving on my mind

I’m gonna leave you woman,
before I commit a crime
God only knows I will

Leaving Blues

Crawling King Snake - Traditional, Arranged T. Hollins

You know, I’m a Crawling King Snake, baby
and I rule my den
I don’t want you hanging around my mate
I want to keep her for myself

You know, you got me crawling, baby
when the grass was very high
You know, I’m just gonna keep on crawling, babe
‘Till the day I day
I’m a Crawling King Snake, baby
and I rule my den

You know, I’m gon’ crawl up to your window
I’m gon’ crawl up to your door
You’ve got everything I want, baby
I’m gon’ crawl up on your floor
Because I’m a Crawling King Snake, baby
and I rule my den

You know, you got me crawling, baby
when the grass was very high
I’m just gonna keep on crawling, babe
until the day I die
I’m a Crawling King Snake, baby
and I rule my den

You’ve got me crawling

Crawling King Snake

The Jinx - E.J. House, Jr.

I got up this morning, The Jinx all around my bed
You know, I thought about you and it would like to kill me dead

Well, ain’t it terrible laying down by yourself
You know, the blues got you; your woman’s got somebody else

No, the blues ain’t nothing but a low down aching chill
If you ain’t never had them honey, I hope you never will

I got up this morning, just at the break of day
I was hugging the pillow where my good girl used to lay

You know, the blues ain’t nothing but a low down aching chill
If you ain’t never had them honey, I hope you never will
