These women loving each other,
you know they ain't thinkin' about no man
They ain't keepin' secrets no more,
they playing a wide open hand
I saw a little girl the other day,
I asked her for a little thrill
She said I'm so sorry daddy,
but I'm puttin' out the same thing you is
I took the woman out ridin',
bought her all kinds of whiskey and wine
I guess I was too drunk to realize,
she say I'll see you some other time
The woman gets all dressed up to boogie,
goes out smelling sweet like a rose
Comes home 5 o'clock in the mornin',
with that fish scent on her clothes

I believe that bad luck and trouble, man is all that joins
us
I mean that bad luck and trouble, people that's all that
joins us
When my bad luck quit me, Lord my trouble just began
I'm travelin' the highway, since I was a child
Nobody see no woman man, nobody seems to care
Bad luck and trouble, man is all that joins us
When my bad luck quit me, man my trouble just began
Lord I'm sittin' down and thinkin', man I'm a long, long way
from home
Just sittin' down and thinkin, man I'm a long, long way from
home
Think about all my good times lord and my friends all want
to know
They never hurt nobody, they never done nobody wrong
Other people won't accept me they say man leave me alone
Sittin' down and thinkin', Lord I'm a long long way from
home
Thinkin' about my good times, man and my friends all want to
know
Yeah
Man ain't nobody has this trouble, I gonna tell nobody
else
Nobody else has this trouble, man ain't gonna tell nobody
else
My whole life I'm livin' baby, gonna make it by myself

I woke up this morning, with something that I've never
had
I woke up this morning, with something that I've never
had
I've had the blues before but I've never had the blues, I've
never had the blues this bad
Everyone that I talk to, everybody feelin' down and out

Everybody's got an answer but nobody really knows, nobody
really knows what it's all about
There ain't no drugs can help me, my baby she can't ease my
mind
There ain't no drugs can help me, my baby she can't ease my

I got a girl named Boney Moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Oughta see her rock-n-roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat she's just skin and bones
I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we could be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree
She's my one and only she's my hearts desire
She's a real upsetter she's a real live wire
Everybody turns when my baby walks by
She's something to see she really catches your eye
Gonna tell her momma and her poppa too
Just exactly what I want to do
I wanna get married on a night in June
And rock-n-roll by the light of the silvery moon
