Buddy Guy Album

The first time I met the blues
People, you know I was walkin', I was walkin' down through the woods
Yes, the first time, the first time I met you, blues
Blues you know I was walkin', I was walkin' down through the woods
Yes, I've watched my house burnin' blues
Blues, you know you done me, you done me all the harm that you could

The blues got after me
People, you know they ran me from tree to tree
Yes, the blues got after me
Blues, you know you ran me, ran me from tree to tree


Yes, you should-a heard me beg ya, blues
Ah, blues, don't murder me

Yes, good mornin', blues
Blues, I wonder, I wonder what you're doin' here so soon
Yes, good mornin', good mornin', good mornin', mister blues
Blues, I wonder, I keep wonderin' what you're doin' here so soon
Yes, you know you'll be with me every mornin', blues
Every night and every noon
Oh, yeah

I know you're getting sick and tired of me baby, this that I can plainly see
But deep from the bottom of my heart, baby, I know, you're hurting me
But just as sure, sure as you are born to die
But, baby, I love you, and you know, that's no lie
I'd rather fight a bear, baby, jump down in a lions den
Than to hear you keep on telling me baby that this is the end
But just as sure, baby, sure as you are born to die
But, baby, I love you, and you know, that's no lie
(Alright! Have mercy baby! Yes, yes, yes)
Yes, just look how you're doing me, baby, since
you got up on your feet
You're going away to leave me, baby, I got this ...
without no meat
But just as sure, sure as you are born to die
But, baby, I love you, and you know, that's no lie
Oh yeah, baby
Somebody got to help me

My love for you is like, is like a sweet refrain
Real, real true love, is like a burning, burning flame
My love for you will live through storm and rain
My love, my love for you is real.

My love for you, words can never express
God, God only knows, that I'll love you, love you best
With only you my love could ever rest
My love, my love for you is real.

My love for you will live forever
Forever and a day
If you love me, love me my darling
Won't you show me in your own sweet way?

My love for you makes me want you near
Within, within my heart, I really need, need you dear
Sometimes true love can make a, make a man shed tears
My love for you is real.

Oh, my love, oh my love for you is real.

It's your time now baby
Ohh but it's gonna be mine after awhile
I said it's your time right now baby
Lord but it's gonna be mine after awhile
You know you know if things don't change
I'm gonna move on down

She stayed out last night
And do you know she just walked in
The girl is gettin' ready
She's going back out again
I said just wait one minute
Just before you go
She didn't even look at me
She just turned and walked out the door

It's your time, it's your time, it's your time right now
Ohh, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta feelin'


Ohh it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be my time after awhile

I got a look through my window
And guess what I seen
My baby sat with another man
In a long black limosine

I said it's your time, it's your time
Yes you know I, you know I got that feelin' woman
Baby it's gonna be my time after awhile

I just wanna talk to my baby:
And here's what I wanna say
Go ahead on and mistreat me
But every every dog got his day wow

Somebody better come here and get me baby
I just want to talk to my baby

You look good and you look good
You look good and you look good
 
Every girl I see are looking good to me
Every girl I see are looking good to me
 
You know the pretties girl that I've ever seen
Was a girl right here, looking like a queen
And how she looks, no words can tell,
Because all of those girls, you know they sure look well
 
Every girl I see are looking good to me
Every girl I see are looking good to me
 
And the girl I see had an angel's face
She has so mush charm and suit in laze
And what shall do, I don't know
Cause I've never felt like this before
 
Every girl I see are looking good to me
Every girl I see are looking good to me
 Solo
 
Well I do anything to make that bit
You know I get exited when I see that chick
My heart gets happy and I'm full of faith
Because all of these girls, are tending mean
 
Every girl I see are looking good to me
Every girl I see are looking good to me

I can't put you down from no-one else
You know you look so good, I can't control myself
I'm going crazy; you know I'm not so blame
You all look lovely, pretty little thing

Every girl I see are looking good to me
Every girl I see are looking good to me

You got too many ways
To raise to sin
You got too many ways
To please your man
You got too many ways
Too many ways for me

You got too many ways
To call me honey
You got too many ways
To spend my money

Why don't you just go on man and leave my little girl alone?
Lord before I get evil man, and I go and do something wrong
You call my house all hours of the night, let me tell you mister that's a sure sure way to start a fight
Why don't you just go on man and leave my little girl alone?
Lord before I get evil man and I'm gonna do something wrong

Baby, you know you ain't no Fridgidaire.
You can't keep nothin', tell everything you hear.
But everything I know, I keep it to myself,
'cause 'n I ever tell you, you tell someone else
what I say.
(I'm gonna – gotta keep it to myself, heh.)

Woman, you know you ain't nothin' but a . . . tattle-tale.
You told on my brother, and he landed to jail.
You said that, you know, you didn't mean no harm,
but they gave him forty days on the County Farm.
What I say.
(I'm gonna keep it to myself – yeah.)

You just a blabber-mouth baby,
and spreadin' gossip is your game.

When you get to rappin' baby,
you make a stool pigeon feel ashamed.

Baby you must be from'a outer space.
'Cause the way you run your mouth is a natch'l disgrace.
I don't know how much trouble you cause',
but I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't start the last war.
What I say, yeah.

ad lib
I've got-ta, I gotta keep it to myself.
Lord, I ain't gonna tell nobody else, no.
I gotta . . . I gotta . . . I gotta keep it to myself.
