Buddy Guy Album

Heavy Love
Buddy Guy
I got a heavy love, I can't carry it all by myself
I got a heavy love, I can't carry it all by myself
I got both sides of the wagon
Won't you give me a little help

I got a big fat heart, with lots of love on top
I got a big fat heart, with lots of love on top
You better come to my well darling
Before I have a love attack

bridge
I'd lay down my burden, if I only could
I'd lay down my burden, you know that I surely would
I got a heavy heart, I can't carry it all alone
You better come to my rescue darling, before all my strength is gone

[2 verses of solo]

Two tons of affection, three tons of desire
Will make this love connection set this weight on fire
I got a heavy love bearin' down on me
This love makes me a prisoner, only you can set me free

[solo]

I was standin' at the station
Ten to midnight in the rain
I was minding my own bidness'
Waitin' for that midnight train

Nobody in sight, starin' at my shoes
I took out my paper to find me some good news
Minding my own bidness'
When the ticket man calls my name
Yeah, yeah, babe

There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
Comin' down the line

So I say, "If it ain't too much trouble
When's the local out of town?"
His reply is "Two a.m."
If I'm leavin' local-bound

I can catch it in forty minutes
If I want to grab the espress'
But the local trains are hard to come by
This time of night, more or less
Listen, said

There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
Comin' down the line

(Yeah!)

So I stood for forty minutes
It was raining and it was cold
When the express rolled down the track
I did not care where it was gonna go
Yeah, yeah,

He said
There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
There ain't no midnight train
Comin' down the line

I've got a problem
I've got a problem
I've got a problem
I got a problem
I got a problem with my woman
and I got a problem with my wife

when you see me standin'
with tears in my eyes
oh you must be wondering
how could I wreck my life

'cause I got a problem with my woman
and I got a problem with my wife, well

my wife is number one
and my woman is number two

my woman would do things for me
that my wife wouldn't do

Course I dig my wife, but she don't understand
somtimes it take two y'all
to satisfy a man

now when my problem started
I started messin' with number three

she calls up my wife
and tells on my woman and me

my wife packs up her clothes
and goes home to her mother


and my woman runs off and
finds another lover

I've got a problem
and it's about to wreck my life

problem with my woman
I got a problem with my wife, yeah

(solo)

Well when my problem started
I started messin' with number 3

she calls up my wife
and tells on my woman and me

my wife packs up her clothes
and goes home to her mother

and my woman runs off and
finds another lover

I got a problem
and it's about to wreck my life

problem with my woman
I got a problem with my wife, yeah

(solo)

It's three o'clock in the morning
And the rain began to fall
I know what I need
'Cause I don't have it all

I'm needing someone like you
That I can do love to
Baby, baby
I need you tonight

Outside my window
It's lonely and cold
Inside my heart there's a fire
Burning out of control
Burning for someone like you
I just wanna do love to
Baby, baby


I need you tonight

Your love is coming to me
Like a wolf howlin' at the moon
But that just won't do me
'Cause I can't get you soon
I'm calling for someone like you
That I can do love to
Baby, baby
I need you tonight

I need you tonight
Callin', callin', callin', callin'
Honey I need you tonight

Now if you've ever been down to New Orleans
Then you can understand just what I mean
All through the week it's quiet as a mouse
And on Saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay the usual admission
If you're a cook, a waiter or a good musician
So if you happen to be just passin' by
Stop in at the Saturday Night Fish Fry

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

Now my buddy and me was on the main stem
Foolin' around just me and him
We decided we could use a little something to eat
So we went to a house on Rampart Street

We knocked on the door and it opened with ease
And a lush little Miss said, "Come in, please"
Before we could even bat an eye
We were right in the middle of a big fish fry

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

Now the folks was havin' the time of their life
Sam was jivin' Jimmie's wife
Over in the corner was a beat up grand
Being played by a big fat piano man

Now some of these folks wore expensive frocks
Some of them had on bobbie socks
Everybody was nice and high
At particular Saturday Night Fish Fry

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

Now my buddy and me, we fell right in
We hollered, "Let the joy begin"
Now we're thinking we could get a good place to play
But the party was already on the way

All of a sudden the lights went low
And everybody lay straight for the front door
Man, I was so scared I didn't know where to go
I stood right there and I fell on the floor

It was rockin', it was rockin'
I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

Now the women was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'
The bottles was flyin', and the fish was smellin'
Way up above all the noise we made
Somebody hollered, "You better get outta here, this is a raid"

I didn't know we was breaking the law
But somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
They had us blocked off from front to back
They was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potatoes in a sack

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

I knew I could get away if I had a chance
But I was shakin' like I had that St. Vitus dance
I tried to crawl in under a bath tab
When a policeman said, "Where are you goin' there, bub?"

Now they got us out of there like a house on fire
They put us all in the black Maria
They might have missed a pitiful few
But they got both me and my buddy too

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition
They booked each one of us on suspicion
My chick came down and went my bail
And finally got me outta that rotten jail

If you ever want to get a fist in your eye
Just mention a Saturday Night Fish Fry
I don't care how many fish in the sea
But don't ever mention a fish to me

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

Oh, I had a bad night last night
People you know things just didn't go right
I had a bad, bad, bad night last night
People you know things just didn't go right

You know I lost all my money on the boat
And I'm standing here to tell you all I'm down so broke

I got a call from my baby this morning
Said Buddy you know you just gotta pay
I got a call from my baby this morning, yeah
It said Buddy you just gotta pay


I shook my head and said
People you know this just ain't my day

Oh I went in to a friend of mine
And he was broke, busted and disgusting
Yes, I went to a friend of mine
And he was broke, busted and disgusted
And all he did was shook his had and walked away
And said Buddy Guy, this just ain't my day

That makes two of us

Are you lonely for me baby
Are you lonely for me baby
Are you lonely for me baby
Are you lonely for me baby
Oh, it's the last train, to Jacksonville,
and I'm gonna get on it baby, you know I will
Will you try, come on and try,
to forget all the pain I brought you
Come on and cry, go ahead and cry,
I know I'm the one who thought you
To be lonely baby,
I'm lonely and blue
I'm lonely baby,
and I'm lonely for you
Are you lonely for me baby
Yes I am
Are you lonely for me baby
Oh, it's my last buck in Jacksonville
Are you my sweet baby, are you still
Tell your friend, this is the end
And I never again deserve you
I can hear them laugh, I can hear them laugh
You say I'd was gonna hurt you
Oh, I'm sorry baby
I'm sorry and blue
He, I'm lonely baby
And I'm lonely for you
Are you lonely for me baby
Yes I am
Are you lonely for me baby
I'm comin' home
Oh, yes I am
Oh, it's a long ride to Jacksonville
No one would ever know, the way I feel
Will you be there, will you be there
When I get on the train
You see you gotta be there, you gotta be there
I just got to see you again girl
Because I'm lonely baby
I'm lonely and blue
I'm lonely baby
And I'm lonely for you
Are you lonely for me baby
Yes I am
Are you lonely for me baby
Are you lonely for me baby
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Are you lonely for me baby
Yes I am
Yes I am

I don't want you To be no slave I don't want you To work all day I don't want you 'Cause I'm kind of Sad and blue I just want to make Love to you Love to you
I don't want you To make my bed I don't want you woman Don't rub my head I don't want you 'Cause I'm kind of sad and blue I just want to make Love with you Love to you

Well I can tell by the way that you Switch and walk I can know by the way that you Baby talk I can see by the way that you Treat your man I could love you baby 'til it's a Cryin' shame

Did somebody make a fool out of you
Did somebody mistreat you
Well I know you've been holdin' back
You got a lot more love than that
Did somebody make a fool out of you
Did somebody run away with your heart
Did somebody tear you whole a part
Well I know you've been treated bad
But you don't have to look so sad
Did somebody make a fool out of you
Did somebody make a fool out of you
Did somebody mistreat you
And I know you've been treated bad
But you don't have to look so sad
Did somebody make a fool out of you
Oh yeah, Oh, yeah
Did somebody make a fool out of you
Did somebody mistreat you
Well I know you've been holdin' back
You got a lot more love than that
Did somebody make a fool out of you
I know it's hard to love someone again
When somebody have torn you all apart
But come on and let yourself go
Don't think about it anymore
I know there's still a lot of lovin' in your heart
Oh baby
Did somebody make a fool out of you
Did somebody mistreat you
Well I know you've been treated bad
But you don't have to look so sad
Did somebody make a fool out of you
No, no

[No lyrics]

Let me show you I love you Each and every day I would not havin' Any other way
My mother she taught me How to show you my love Because my way's in action Speak much louder than words
Put your arms around my waist And look direct in my face And I'll show you I love you And no one else can take your place

Let me show you I love you Each and every day Because I would not never havin' Any other way
Put your arms around my waist And look me direct in my face And I'll show you I love you And no one else can take your place
