Telephone Blues
by John Mayall

I couldn't sleep last night.
I was sitting by my telephone.
All the time a-wastin',
All the love you've never shown.
But someday, someday darling,
You will realize I'm alone.


The last time I saw you,
You promised me you would call.
But time is running out, babe;
No call at all.
My life is so lonely
Standing by my telephone.
But someday, someday darling,

Tell Me That You Love Me
by Eric Clapton

Tell me that you love me as often as you can;
Let me know that I'm your one and only man.
Give me confirmation with every passing day.
A love as sweet as ours will never fade away.


Catch me when I'm falling, help me when I'm blue.
Don't you realize that I'd do the same for you?
Find me when I'm lonely, carry me back home.
Treat me gently and my heart will never roam.


Straighten me out, pull me through,
Let me know that I'm still in love with you.
Be my woman, be my friend,

Tell The Truth
by Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock

Tell the truth. Tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth. Who's been fooling who?


There you sit there, looking so cool
While the whole show is passing you by.
You better come to terms with your fellow men soon, cause...


The whole world is shaking now. Can't you feel it?
A new dawn is breaking now. Can't you see it?


Chorus

It doesn't matter just who you are,
Or where you're going or been.
Open your eyes and look into your heart.


The whole world is shaking now.

Ten Long Years
by Riley B. King and Jules Bihari

Well, I had a woman,
She was nice, kind and loving to me in every way.
Oh, I had a woman,
She was kind and loving to me in every way.
Oh, she used to love me
And bring my breakfast to the bed every day.


Oh, for ten long years,
She was my pride and joy.
Oh, for ten long years,
She was my pride and joy.
I used to call her my little girl.
Oh, she used to call me, she used to call me her little boy.


Oh, it's all over baby.
You know I'm all alone.

hat's What My Man Is For
by Bessie Griffin

You hold my hand when I've lost my way.
\ Have to bring me back when I've gone astray.
\ Someone to heal me when I'm in lots of pain.
\ That's what my man is for.
\

To help to tell me when I've done wrong,
\ Someone to help me to keep going on;
\ And when I get weak I know he'll make me strong.
\ That's what my man is for.
\

Someone to be my companion,
\ Someone who'll understand me,
\ Someone who'll stand along right here beside me
\ And hold my trembling hand.

The Coffee Song
by Colton and Smith

There's a full time reservation
Made in a bar at the railway station,
And there's a story, a kind of fable,
On a card at the corner table.
On it is a message; been there some time.
It starts off, "The coffee tasted so fine..."


It says, "One day, this may find you,
These few words may just remind you.
We sat here together just to pass time;
You said how the coffee tasted so fine."


It goes on to say, "I love you.
If you should find this I must hear from you."
It gives a number but the name has faded

The Core
by Eric Clapton and Marcy Levy

Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.
There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.
There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.


Oh, I have a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can burn without fuel.


If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite.
Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my side.
No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea.
'Cause every day, your fire alarm is deafe

The Shape You're In
by Eric Clapton

I took my baby to see a show.
She was telling me she didn't want to go.
I said, "Come on girl, what's the matter with you?"
But I could tell by the smell that she'd had a few.


I said hold on girl don't get too tight,
You started early and we've got all night.
You've got to take it easy, take it slow.
We don't want the whole world to know
About the shape you're in.


Well, my little girl really loves that wine.
Wine will do it to her most everytime.
If it's red or it's white or it's in between,
She can drink more wine than I've ever seen.


Chorus

The Sky Is Crying
by Elmore James, Morgan Robinson and Clarence Lewis

The sky is crying,
Look at the tears rolling down the streets.
The sky is crying,
Look at the tears rolling down the streets.
I looked out my window,
The rain was falling down in sheets.


My baby left me this morning,
Lord knows I don't know the reason why.
My baby left me this morning,
I don't know the reason why.
And everytime I think about it,
I hang my head and cry.


The sun is shining,
Although it's raining in my heart.
The sun is shining,

They're Red Hot
by Robert Johnson

Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
I got a girl, she's long and tall,
Sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
Yes she got 'em for sale.


Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
She got two for a nickel, four for a dime,
Would sell you more, but they ain't none of mine.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale, I mean.
Yes she got 'em for sale.


Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes sh
