Shake your moneymaker

I got a girl who lives up on the hill

Says she gonna love me but I don't believe she will
You gotta shake your moneymaker

And then
I got a girl and she just won't be true
I got a girl and she just won't be true
She's locked to the bridge, she won't do a thing I tell her

She won't shake her moneymaker,
won't shake her moneymaker
She wanna roll her activator
She won't shake her moneymaker
She won't shake her moneymaker
She won't

Did you ever look to see who is left around?
When I think about the past it only brings me down
Everyone I thought was cool is six feet under ground
Make love in the grass while the sun is shining down
They tried to get me lots of times and now they're
It feels so good your long blond hair baby
Coming after you I got out and I'm here to say
When you're down low make me shake make the whole earth
quake
Baby you can get out to I'm Still alive and well
So everyone will know
I'm still alive and well
I'm still alive and well every now and then its kind of
hard
To tell I'm still alive and well

Well, I'm a stranger here and I just blowed in your town
Well, I'm a stranger here and I just blowed in your town
Just because I'm a stranger everybody wants to dog me

Well, I'm going back now south, if I have wear ninety nine
pair of shoes
Well, I'm going back now south, if I have wear ninety nine
pair of shoes
Then I won't be no more stranger, I won't have no more

Well, sometime I wonder, do my good gal know I'm here?
Well, sometime I wonder, do my good gal know I'm here?

The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street
The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street
I'm feeling sad and lonely
My baby's left me
Understanding and a little lovin'
A little love is all that I need
Understanding and a little lovin'
A little love is all that I need
But misunderstanding and a no-good woman
They both cause my heart to bleed
Now every morning
The weeping willows weep for me
Now every morning baby
The weeping willows weep for me
The birds sing a little tune
I wish they'd sing my baby back home to me
The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street
The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street
I'm feeling sad and lonely
My baby's left me

Woah, Lord I wish, Lord I wonder what happens
Answer's the nickel, a deep blues sea
I tore all the good looking women somewhere
Sure enough baby that's me, 'cause it's gonna happen
Lord my mother, well so as my father
About three months long before I was born
Said I got a boy child coming
Sure enough it gonna be a rolling stone
Lord I'm gonna get a rolling stone man
Lord I'm broke
Lord I'm broke
Now I reckon I better do
Lord if I clean up little girls
Then I go home with you
Yeah man I'm gonna walk
Woah, Lord it's true, two things running
Lord I believe you're the worst child in my way
We're gonna watch them run at midnight
But the one that's running just gonna lie dead
Lord she's lone yeah and she's tall
Lord she weeps like a banshee
Lord the folks they say she's no good
But she's all right with me, 'cause I'll be right there
Woah, ho, ho
Somebody help me, help me, I always lose
Lord see if the girl don't love the man you know
That's when I do the voodoos
Ah, don't make you hurt honey

I'm goin' out walkin',
walking down through the park
I'm gonna walk in the moonlight,
till the night gets dark
I'm goin' out walkin',
along the old avenue
I'm gonna walk for so long,
till she won't know what to do
I'm goin' out walkin',
walkin' down along the street
I'm gonna walk her along beside me,
that girl can't be beat
Don't you bother my baby,
no tellin' what she'll do
The girl she may cut you,
she may shoot you too

I make my living feeling rotten, but I feel good when I play
blues
I make my living feeling rotten, but I feel good when I play
blues
In this world of contradictions, man what can a poor boy
do?
Some folks say you can't sing blues, when you're feeling
good
I'm just feeling lousy, I knock on wood
I make my living feeling rotten, but I feel good when I play
blues
In this world of contradictions, man what can a poor boy
do?
I guess the worst things get, the better they must be
this mixed up way of thinking man, is killing me
I make my living feeling rotten but I feel good when I play
blues yes I do
In this world of contradictions what can a poor boy do
Yeah, what can I do, oh
Yeah, woo
Well if I feel a little bit better, I'll probably go
broke
It' enough to give a man the blues and man that ain't no
joke
I make my living feeling rotten I feel good when I play
blues
Well in this world of contradictions, what can a poor boy
do
