Louise
(tabs & chords)

Her name was Louise,
she came from Mississip'
She had a way with her walk,
her gown was really hip

I met her on the corner,
she was looking mighty fine
Well I knew right when she kissed my lips,
she was mine

She loved me in the morning,
she loved me noon and night
She dressed just like a pretty girl,
(the) girl was out of sight
Her name was Louise,
and you know she aimed to please
Louise

Well I met her on the street one day,
I saw her with my eyes
She looked and said hello to me,
I thought I would die
Next morning when she left me,
a smile upon my lips
She kissed me and she said good-bye,
I watched her crazy hips

She loved me in the morning,
she loved me noon and night
She dressed just like a pretty girl,
the girl was out of sight
Her name was Louise,
and you know she aimed to please

(guitar solo)

Louise

Well now a year has past,
she's been seeing other guys
I never thought a pretty face
could tell so many lies
The guys that she's been seeing
all have her on their mind(s)
But by the time she's done with them,
they all look so satisfied

She loved me in the morning,
she loved me noon and night
She dressed just like a pretty girl,
the girl was out of sight
Her name was Louise
and you know she aimed to please
Louise

Changes
 (chords)

I got a friend at the bar,
his name is Ray
And I really don't know
what he's trying to say

His skin is black,
mine is white
To me there's no difference,
wrong or right

Told me he leave
the girl at the curb
Told me never to speak
an unkind word
My brother got rhythm,
I got the blues
but babe, we love to live the life that we choose

But now I know what they was
trying to say
I gotta change my life,
change my ways

(guitar solo)

Now I know what they were
trying to say
I gotta change my life,
change my ways

Now when the night comes, babe,
you know I'll be found
I'll be playing the blues
on every stage in town

And there's a song to be played,
a song to be sung
'Cause there's a little lovin' boy
in everyone

(guitar solo)

Lovin' My Baby
(chords)

(guitar solo)

I got my baby's love now,
know she's got mine

I got my baby's love now,
know she's got mine

Well I sit around and stare at her
Oh man, oh man, she sure is fine

My baby's eyes are as clear as the bluest sky
My baby's eyes are as clear as the bluest sky
If the world were like my baby,
the good Lord sure would be satisfied

(guitar solo)

Looked at other women,
changed my mind
Compared to my baby
they're a dozen for a dime

My baby sure look fine
Her sweet shinin' smile
can turn black dirty water into wine

(harmonica solo)

Nice And Warm

(guitar solo)

Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm

Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm

You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones

Oh, you know I
shivered myself to sleep last night
The cold won't let me be
That's when I woke up and realized that
this ain't no place for me

And I can't,
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm

You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones

(guitar solo)

Some good friends got together
and they took me away
from this cold old alley, babe
to a warm place I can stay

Oh, I can't,
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm

I'm so happy to see you all
and that old nasty chill is gone

It's Obdacious

Ooh wee baby, goodness gracious,
the way I love you is contagious
Ooh wee baby, can't you see I'm in love with you

So come on baby, don't be stubborn,
just for you I got a little lovin'
Ooh wee baby, can't you see I'm in love with you

Well your kisses taste so sweet,
they thrill me right off of my feet
I'd walk a mile
just to see you smile
Thinking 'bout you nearly drives me wild

Come on babe, don't be stubborn,
just for you I got a little lovin'
Ooh wee baby, can't you see I'm in love with you

(guitar solo)

Well your kisses taste so sweet,
they thrill me right off of my feet
I'd waik a mile
just to see you smile
Thinking 'bout you nearly drives me wild

Come on babe, don't be stubborn,

Ooh wee baby, can't you see I'm in love with you

Yes, I'm so in love with you

Sugarman
(chords)

Oh, how I love you, babe,
how I wish you were mine
I would candy coat you with my affection, babe,
and I'd love you all the time

All my love is so sweet,
almost good enough for you to eat

Not too big on thinking,
not so big outta size
When you see how big is my lovin',
honey you'll finally realize

that I'm, I'm your sugarman,
all my love is so sweet
I got more candy for you, babe,
than any man you'll ever meet

Some men bring you flowers,
some men diamond rings
Come into my candy store, babe,
I got everything

'Cause I'm your sugarman, babe,
all my love is so sweet
Down deep I got a great big heart
from a last sincerin' time that beats,
you know I'm your sugarman, babe

(guitar solo)

"E" Train
(chords)

Take the "E" train, babe, take the easy train to Austin
Take the "E" train, babe, take the easy train to Austin
Baby, you been ridin' that train so long,

Too Tired
(chords)

(guitar solo)

Well I laid down last night, too tired to wake
I had a chill this mornin', too tired to shake
I got a good poker hand, too tired to win
I can hear my baby callin', too tired to let her in

Well, I'm tired, yes, I'm tired, babe
Too tired now, too tired for anything

Too tired to walk, too tired to run
I can hear my baby knockin'
Too tired
Too tired
Too tired, babe, yes, I'm tired
Too tired now
Too tired for anything
Break it down now

(guitar solo)

Tired of prosperity, tired o' luck
I'm sittin' on a pin, I'm too tired to get up
Well, I'm tired, yes, I'm tired, babe
Too tired now
Too tired for anything,
I'm tired, babe

(guitar solo)

Malted Milk

I keep drinking malted milk, tryin' to drown my blues away
I keep drinking malted milk, babe, tryin' to drown my blues away
Your as welcome to my lovin', babe, as a flower in the month of May

Well baby, fix me one more drink, hug your daddy one more time
Come on, fix me one more drink, hug your daddy one more time
Come on, fix me that malted milk until I, till I change my mind

(acoustic guitar solo)

Well, my door lock keep on turnin', I think there're spooks round my bed
Well, my door lock keep on turnin', I think there're spooks round my bed
I got a warmer feeling that the hairs are standing on my bed

Malted milk, malted milk, keep on rushing to my head
Malted milk, malted milk babe, keep on rushing to my head

I got a funny funny feeling that I'm talkin' all out my head
I got a funny funny feeling that I'm talkin' all out my head
