He's the illustrated man, baby
He's got tattoos everywhere
People love his decorations
They just have to stop & stare
Got the Mona Lisa on his cheek
the Van Gogh on his nose
Got naked women all over him
From his head down to his toes
Got a screamin' demon on his chest
Cat face on his thigh
He's a walkin' wonder box
Until the day he dies

It's my own fault darling, treat me the way you wanna do
It's my own fault darling, treat me the way you wanna do
Lord when I was in love with you darling, Long time I didn't
love you
Just to make your own paycheck baby
Bring it all home to me
I go out every night baby
And I get all mad about girls I see
It's my own fault darling, treat me the way you wanna do
It's my own fault darling, treat me the way you wanna do
Lord when I was in love with you darling, Long time I didn't
love you
You used to stay home with me darling
Now you're going around with all the boys
You say you don't need me
Lord it's tough on my nerves
It's my own fault darling, treat me the way you wanna do
It's my own fault darling, treat me the way you wanna do
Lord when I was in love with you darling, Long time I didn't
love you
Oh I'm down on my knees
Can't think what tomorrow will bring
Lord I'm gonna try to do better baby
And love you the best I can
It's my own fault darling, treat me the way you wanna do
It's my own fault darling, treat me the way you wanna do
Lord when I was in love with you darling, Long time I didn't
love you

I woke up this morning at the break of day
Just hugging the pillow where my rider used to lay
Leavin' blues I can't stay here to long
I've been mistreated and I'm goin' home
I sometimes drink whisky, I sometimes drink wine
I've been mistreated and I don't mind dying
I've got my 32-20 and my old .44
I got a shotgun on my shoulder, and I'm bound to go

Standin' on my front porch
Grabbed her and I kissed her
Boy (I) was surprised when I saw her little sister
Lights out
Lights out
I'm glad the lights was out
Sister knows (what) it's all about
What to do when the lights go out
Mother looked at me
She was peepin' through the window
Way she looked at me you'd have thought I was her sister
Lights out

Sister knows (what) it's all about
What to do when the lights go out

I can almost hear those weddin' bells ring
Lights out

Sister knows (what) it's all about
What to do when the lights go out

and we got a little house
had to marry little sister 'cause the lights went out

Life has made me
Pay an awful price
I try and gamble with ya
But you're using crooked dice
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's shore gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me
Money you've made me
Some very fast friends
And just like you made them
You're gonna break them in the end
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's shore gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me
I've had my share, of love life and money
I've lost all 3 ways
I'm here to tell ya that shore ain't funny
Me & my money parted, so did my love and I
Life don't mean a thing
And I wish that I could die
Life has made, a whole lotta fools
Always teach ya something
You never learn in school
Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's shore gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me

Woke up inside myself this morning, uncertainty all
around
Got straight and turned on to some happiness, then I lay
back down, all there was around
Nothing left but ashes, and the smell
Went down to the corner drug store, the pain was more than I
could bare
They told me that I was illegal, I told them I don't care,
let them stand and stare
Nothin' left but old bones, and the smell
I know I can't go on, I just can't stand the pain, can't
stand the pain,
I know I just can't stand ..., guess I'll go insane, go
insane
Guess I was born to be mistreated, contentment seems too
hard to find
Searchin' for some understandin', then I lost my mind, left
it far behind
Nothing left but memories, and the smell

My baby told me got to take one step at a time
You know my baby told me got to take one step at a time
She got a crazy way of walking 'bout to drive me outta my
mind
She never steps out, always walking proud
Lady never steps out and she's always walking proud
Well the way the woman moves makes me want to scream out
loud
Well she step to the left, she step to right
She walk all day, man she run all night
My baby told me take one step at a time
Well she got a way of walking 'bout to drive me outta my
mind
Yes, yes, play a while
She don't move too fast, she don't move too slow
She always knows the way I wants to go
Baby told me got to take one step at a time
Yes, that's what she told me
She got a way of walking 'bout to drive me outta my mind
Yes, that's the truth

Bells will be ringing this sad sad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candle light
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Years night
Friends and relations
Send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas
Yeah, it's Christmas my dear
It's the time of year to be with the one you love
So won't you tell me
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year
Will find you home
There be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy, once again
Oh, there be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I'll be happy, Christmas, once again

I couldn't stop moving when it first took hold
It was a warm spring night in the ol' town hall
There was a group called The Jokers, they were layin' it
down
Don'tcha know I'm never gonna lose that funky sound
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
The skeeters start buzzing 'bout this time o' year
I'm goin' round back, she said she'd meet me there
We were rollin' in the grass that grows behind the barn
When my ears started ringin' like a fire alarm
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
Hope ya'll know what I'm talkin' about
The way they wiggle that thing, it really knocks me out
I'm gettin' high all the time, hope ya'll are too
Well come-on a little closer, gonna do it to you

Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
That I'm tired of payin' dues
Done said goodbye to all my blues

Woke up this mornin' feelin' bad
Thinkin' 'bout the good things I once had had
Ain't no good, feelin' this a way
Gonna rock my blues away
Gonna get up
Tear my blue self down
When I get through boogyin'
Won't be no more blues around
Drank some whiskey, beer and wine
Ya know I been mistreated & I don't mind dyin'
C'mere momma, bring me one more pint
Gonna get stoned, gonna wreck this joint
Gonna get up
Tear my blue self down
When I get through boogy'in'
Won't be no more blues around
Spendin' money, lord, feelin' good
Gettin' down like I knew I would
I don't trust women, don't like men
Might not feel this good again
Gonna get up
Tear my blue self down
When I get through boogy'in'
Won't be no more blues around
