Mistreated Blues
02:43

I woke up this mornin' whilst day was dawnin', I'm broken hearted, feelin' sad and blue. I've been mistreated. I don't know what to do. My good gal has left me, I've got them down home blues.
Don't you be grievin' because I'm leavin', I'm broken hearted, feelin' sad and blue. I've been mistreated. I don't know what to do. Won't you hurry back baby, your daddy's got them down home blues.
I woke up this mornin' and I packed my crib, I'm goin' down to the railroad, take a farewell trip. I've been mistreated. I don't know what to do. Won't you hurry back baby, your daddy's got them down home blues.
I woke up this mornin', put my shoes on wrong. I'm a short time here and I'm a long time gone, oh pretty mamma, help me to lose my blues. Now won't you come back, pretty mamma, your daddy's got them down home blues.
If my train don't run I've got a mule I can ride. I don't have to catch him 'cause his already tied. Oh, pretty mamma, I don't know what to do. My good gal has left me, I've got them down home blues.
My baby's got lovin' that'll make me shout. I wish she'd hurry back before it all plays out. Oh pretty mamma, help me to lose my blues. I got them down home blues.

An actor in a vaudeville shoe was sitting on the end,
A pretty gal in the very front row with "heaps of a dough to spend"
Looked up at him with a silly smile.
Started a singing his am song, forgot-a most-a every line,
And the manager hurried back and said you gotta pay a fine.
He lost his job for quite a while.
Well jes because she made dem a goo goo eyes, well I don't know!
Thought I'd won her home and caught the prize, "you ain't so warm"
She is the best what is and I need her in my biz.
It's jes because she dem a goo goo goo eyes.
Next morning when the troupe had left, his baby throwed him down.
She tells that man I'll have you pinched if you hang a around a this a town,
Oh listen to my tale of woe.
He says I'll send a telespatch, and try and join the show
What can I do in this strange man's land, "can't eat without no dough"
So here he is out in the snow.

Rock 'N' Roll Man
03:25
|

Did you ever see that rock 'n' roll man? Singin' lord, lord, lord, lord
The crowd was swingin' and jumpin' wild. Singin' lord, lord, lord, lord.
You better make my grave deep and wide. Singin' lord, lord, lord, lord.
You can see me rock 'n' rollin' from the other side. Singin' lord, lord, lord, lord.

See My Baby Lose
03:21
|
|||
Well last Tuesday night I missed my babe, he never showed around.
So I slipped my satin slippers on and went where he'd be found.
Down at the high ball coloured club I peeped in through that door.
And there I saw my babies hat, a-hangin' on the floor.
Well a poker game was a-working so through the door I done glide.
They never heard me coming till I stood by my babies side.
A man there nursed a royal flush and my baby said "I'll pass".
I know it wasn't very ladylike, but I turned out the gas.
Because I couldn't stand to see my baby lose.
'Cause I love him from his head down to his shoes.
He's been so awful kind to me, I did it out of sympathy.
'Cause I couldn't stand to see my baby lose.
My baby rides the horses and he's got them beat a block.
At ever race track that he rides he is the winning jock.
He won the Brooklyn handicap and he made ten thousand clear.
And chicken wasn't good enough for us for most a year.
We he owned the great suburban, but he was too fat to ride.
I throwed him down it worried him until he nearly dies.
And lost enough of flesh to ride the race and then he won.
He cried how could you treat me so, I said "'Cause I loves you hun".

Did your mammy or your daddy ever pat you on the head and say “Child, you don't know what you're worth”?
They said to me “Have manners and you'll never wan't for friends, 'cause manners is the grandest thing on earth.”
They said they's take me further than my money ever could and that for want of things I'd never fret.
But now I certainly knows enough to see that talk is cheap, 'cause now there's things I want that I can't get.
That ain't nothin' but talk, talk. That ain't nothin' but talk.
Without a doubt I done found out that the old folks don't know what they're talkin' about.
That ain't nothin' but talk, talk. That ain't nothin' but talk.
They'll tell you this and that 'til you don't know where you're at. That ain't nothin' but talk.
Once a fortune teller said to me “Just let me see your hand, there's a line there that shows prosperity.”
He said “You've got a rich old uncle livin' in the south who's gwanna will to you his property.”
Well it's true I got an uncle but he never owned a thing, that fortune teller had an awful gall
to sit and tell me what I'd get from poor old uncle Ned when he's just barely livin' and that's all.
That ain't nothin' but talk, talk. That ain't nothin' but talk.
Without a doubt I done found out that the old folks don't know what they're talkin' about.
That ain't nothin' but talk, talk. That ain't nothin' but talk.
They'll tell you this and that 'til you don't know where you're at. That ain't nothin' but talk.

Come along, get ready Wear your bran', bran' new gown
For there's gwine to be a meeting In that good, good old town
Where you knowded everybody And they all knowded you
And you've got a rabbit's foot To keep away de hoo-doo.
When you hear that the preaching does begin
Bend down low for to drive away your sin
And when you gets religion, you want to shout and sing
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight, My baby
When you hear dem a bells go ding ling ling
All join 'round and sweetly you must sing
And when the verse am through in the chorus all join in
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.
There'll be girls for ev'ry body: In that good, good old town,
For there's Miss Consola Davis And there's Miss Gondolia Brown
And there's Miss Johanna Beasly She am dressed all in red,
I just hugged her and I kissed her And to me then she said:
Please oh please, oh do not let me fall,
You're all mine and I love you best of all,
And you must be my man, or I'll have no man at all,
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight, My baby

Roll on the Ground

When you've got lots of money roll in my arms, when all your money's gone roll on de ground.
I went down to New Orleans, didn't go down to stay, and I throwd myself in a yaller gal's lap and the yaller gal fainted away.
Roll on de ground boys roll on de ground.
Keep a rollin'.
I went to see miss Suzy, standing at the door, shoes and stockings in her hands and her feet all over de floor.
Racoon tail am very long, possum tail is bare, and the rabit got no tail at all but a little bunch a hair.

If I ever get my new house done
Sail away ladies, Sail away
I’ll give my old one to my son
Sail away ladies, Sail away
Don’t you rock em, Daddy O
Now children don’t you sit and cry
Sail away ladies, Sail away
We’ll all be angels, by and by
Sail away ladies, Sail away
I got word from Shiloh town
Sail away ladies, Sail away
Ol' Saint Louis is burning down
Sail away ladies, Sail away

Come Out Dinah

Dinah dear while all is still and sleeping.
And the moon above the hill is creeping.
Underneath your window love a-pining, I sing a serenade to you.
Vowing by the stars above a-shining, that my love is true.
Oh Dinah, there's none diviner. Oh Dinah, promise me tonight you will be mine-a.
Oh Dinah, underneath your window love I'm singing, can't you hear my merry banjo ringing.
Dinah dear, lend your beauty to the scene.
Oh Dinah, round my heart like ivy you are clinging, Dinah you're my queen.
Won't you come out, come out, come out Dinah on the green.
Dinah dear, a soft south wind is sighing.
And the stars down through the trees are spying.
I am hear your love to claim believe me, you are all my hearts delight.
If you do not take my name, twill grieve me, tell me yes tonight.
Oh Dinah, there's none diviner. Oh Dinah, promise me tonight you will be mine-a.
Oh Dinah, underneath your window love I'm singing, can't you hear my merry banjo ringing.
Dinah dear, lend your beauty to the scene.
Oh Dinah, round my heart like ivy you are clinging, Dinah you're my queen.
Won't you come out, come out, come out Dinah on the green.

Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads!
