Blow Out

Come on and do what you came to do
to do without
when in doubt whip it out
Cut me in or cut it out

(Refrain)
I'm a time bomb ticking
about to explode
a worn out tire
beating up the road
And God knows
I'm gonna keep on rolling
Until I blow out

Come on use me
let me use you
come on , use it up
time is now
take em off
baby gonna tear it up

(Refrain)

The night is ours
and the tank is full
speed it up
roll it up
light it
pass it to me
gonna smoke it up

(Refrain)

Gimme a chance
gimme a shot to f*ck it up
runnin hot
overheatin
baby gonna self destruct

(Refrain)

I'm a time bomb ticking
about to explode
A wild fire burning out of control
And God knows
I'm gonna keep on rolling
Until I blow out

 

Come Go With Me

Left yah in the doorway screaming and crying
Left you five children, Lord ain't none are mine.
No Lord ain't none are mine. None are mine.
Left you five children, none are mine.

Left yah in the doorway, screaming and crying.

Stay 'round here for to weep and moan
Come go with me I'll love you all night long
I love you all night long. All night long.
Come go with me I'll love yah all night long

Stay 'round here to weep and moan.

Refuse me woman, that would be your loss
Stick to yah closer than Jesus to the cross
Than Jesus to the cross. To the cross.
Closer than Jesus, to the cross.

Refuse me woman, that would be your loss.

(Musical Break)

Your heart sank like a rock cast out in the sea
Can't put your faith in a man like me
Not in a man like me. Man like me.
Put your faith in a man like me.

Your heart sank like a rock out in the sea.

Come go with me I turn your money green.
Show you things, girl, you ain't never seen.
No you ain't never seen. Never seen.
Like a Rockafeller, never seen.

Come go with me I'll turn your money green.

 

Eaglebird

Crazy 'bout the way my eaglebird fly
Swing low and let yo' daddy ride
Got to get it high before we can swing
So fly on by, take me under yo' wing

Fly all day
Fly all night long
My eaglebird fly all day
Fly all night long

She took me into her nest
Lay my poor heart to rest
Lay me down easy beyond the horizon
Came to staring at the sun
can you dig what she'd done
Get me a feather for my cap and a notch on my gun

(music)

Fly all day
Fly all night long
Fly all day
Fly all night long
My eaglebird


I'd Love To Be A Hippy
(lyrics by Champion Jack Dupree/additional lyrics by Jim Dickinson)

I'd love to be a hippy
But my hair won't grow that long
I'd love to be a hippy
But my hair won't grow that long
Just crazy about the way
All the hippies carry on

He might go up the mountain
Tryin' to find a hiding place
He might go up on the mountain
Tryin' to find a hiding place
No matter where you go
He's got the long beard all in his face

I'd love to be a hippy
High up in the hills
Down in Mississippi
Taking all those hippy pills
I'd love to be a hippy
But my hair won't grow that long
Just crazy about the way
All the hippies carry on

(Crazy. Come on, son. Play it back for me one time. Somethin' ain't right.)

Now, your family will drive you to smoking reefer
Make the young girls sniff cocaine
Now, your family will drive you to smoking reefer
Make the young girls sniff cocaine
Take a little drink of whiskey
Flush the dirt right down the drain

I don't wanna be a teacher
'Cause a teacher stays in school
I don't wanna be a farmer
I wasn't born to work like a mule
I don't wanna be a preacher
'Cause a preacher can't have no fun
I don't wanna be a soldier
So don't shoot me with your gun
But I'd love to be a hippy
But my hair won't grow that long
I'm crazy about the way
All the hippies carry on

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well.


Keep The Devil Down

Dirty Red's got his pockets full of them things
Standing on a corner in Holly Springs
They busted Dirty Red in Hickory Flat, y'all
Old Dirty is a soldier, Red ain't no rat

If you raise the devil
It can't keep the devil down
And now I've found the starry crown
If you raise the devil
Can't keep the devil down
Don't look him in the eye
The devil is a lie

Them things got me snapping like a fighting dog
Drinking gun powder from a rotten log
Old habits die hard, I'm damn sho' stuck in my way
It's the nature of the beast that one of these days

I'm a gonna raise the devil
It can't keep the devil down
If you've found the starry crown
And you raise a devil
It can't keep the devil down
Don't look him in the eye
The devil is a lie

If you raise the devil
Can't keep the devil down
And now I've found the starry crown
If you raise the devil
And can't keep the devil down
Don't look him in the eye
The devil is a lie

Mizzip
by Cody Dickinson

Play that funky music 'til the sun goes down
People get together
Make a joyful sound
Play that funky music 'til the sun come up
People get down
Can't get enough
Whenever they hear this song
Get up
drive down
start singing along

Deep down in Mississippi
South of Tennessee
In the back woods
Under the sycamore tree
Just like a bee
Make the honey drip
Chompin at the bit
Little Mizzip

Pull the wagon over and
Let me be the mule
Let me pay my tithe
Before I play the fool
Milk that cow
Plow that hoe
Plant that seed
Part it with the hoe

Deep down in Mississippi
South of Tennessee
In the back woods
Under the sycamore tree
There's a girl I know
Who can shake her hips
Got me chompin at the bit
Little Mizzip

Down in Mississippi
South of Tennessee
In the back woods
Where you gonna find me
Shake her hips
Make the honey drip
Right on the tip
Little Mizzip

She's a trip
Little Mississipp
(Come on, Come one)
She can shake her hips
Little Mizzip
Make the honey drip
Play that funky music 'til the sun come up
Little Mississipp
People get down
Can't get enough
Flip the switch
(Get up get up Get down)
Play that funky music 'til the sun go down
Little Mizzipp
People get together make a joyful sound
You know my ship
Play that funky music 'til the sun come up
(Ahhh whoooo)
Little Mizzipp
People get down
Can't get enough
Got a good grip
Play that funky music 'til the sun go down
(Down Down Down Down)
People get together make a joyful sound

(Get down can't you see yah, oh, oh )

Deep down in Mississippi
South of Tennessee
In the back woods
Under the sycamore tree
Just like a bee
Make the honey drip
Chompin at the bit
Little Mizzip

Deep down in Mississippi
South of Tennessee
In the back woods
Under the sycamore tree
There's a girl I know
Who can shake her hips
Got me chompin at the bit
Little Mizzip

Deep down in Mississippi
South of Tennessee
In the back woods
Where you gonna find me
Take her hips
Make the honey drip
Right on the lips
Little Mizzip

(Mississippi, yeah, yeah....)


Rooster's Blues

It's a dirty job
but don't make me do it.
You're gonna get robbed
Somebody gotta do it.

Nothing make you fail but a try
Stay up all night, huh, try to get high.
A dirty job
You're gonna bite the bullet
You're gonna get robbed
And rub your nose in it

Low down dirty dog
Take it to the bank
I'll turn you upside down
and shake yah by your ankles
It's a dirty job
but don't make me do it.
You're gonna get robbed
They put me up to it.

Need no needle, but I crave the spoon
A country boy, reaching for the moon

A crook knows a crook
won't you put it on the table
quit holding out
While you still able
as a dirty job
You're gonna bite the bullet
You're gonna get robbed
Rub your nose in it.

Don't know the words, I can sing the tune
Country boy, reaching for the moon
Stones in my passway, hounds on my trail
Don't like the way that she done me
Riding these rails

(Musical Break)

It's a dirty job
but don't make me do it.
You're gonna get robbed
You put me up to it.

It's a dirty job
You don't bite the bullet
You're gonna get robbed
And rub your nose in it

It's a dirty job
It's a dirty job
It's a dirty job


Shake

Tell you about a thing
That's been passed down
Grandma taught baby girl how to shake 'em down
Gonna shake 'em down, girl
Gonna shake 'em down
Gonna shake 'em down, girl
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you

The barnyard pimp
Crazy about that thing
Lord, she shake it like she cut the pigeon wing
Cut the pigeon wing, Lord
Cut the pigeon wing
Cut the pigeon wing, Lord
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you

At the pearly gates
Begging for to pass
Girl, you better shake it like it's gonna save your ass
Gonna save your ass, girl
Gonna save your ass
Gonna save your ass, girl
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you

Haints in the graveyard
Angels on high
Well we gonna keep 'em shaking in the by and by
In the by and by, Lord
In the by and by
In the by and by, Lord
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you
Shake what your mama gave you


Soldier

Sittin' on the roof, no help has come
Floods overflowing
High water everywhere, we lost our homes
Floods overflowing

My cup is empty and my mouth is dry
Old hannah beatin down from up on high
Do you think you make a soldier, a soldier of the cross
Do you think you make a soldier, in the army of the Lord

The levee blew out into the city
Hell's overflowing
The Devil running loose oh Lord have mercy
Hell's overflowing

God gave Noah that rainbow sign
It won't be water, but fire next time
Do you think you make a soldier, a soldier of the cross
Do you think you make a soldier, in the army of the Lord

(Musical Break)

Up all night praying to the moon
Clouds over, blowing
If I ever sleep again it will be no time soon
Tomorrow's never coming

My cup is empty and my mouth is dry
That old dirty water on the rise
Do you think you make a soldier, a soldier of the cross
Do you think you make a soldier, in the army of the Lord


Take Yo Time, Rodney

And I don't know how can a woman
do a man so wrong.
She can run around all night
don't never come home

I walk the streets all night
lookin' for that girl of mine
found her sloppy drunk
down at the county line.

Oh Lord it's so wrong
Oh Lord it's so wrong
OH LORD IT'S too far gone

Had all I can stand
you know wrong is wrong
Someone come up missing
I'll be long gone

Oh Lord it's so wrong
Oh Lord it's so wrong
OH LORD IT'S too far gone

She's shaking like a leaf
trembling on a tree
She can't look me in the face
the way she doing me

Oh Lord it's so wrong
Oh Lord it's so wrong
OH LORD
We're too far gone
