Every day when I walk home
I see loneliness
When I waited for my baby.
You know I open my front door,
I said mr. loneliness is waiting for me at home
Lordy, lord at home, lord at home, lo-o-o-rd at home.

You know, I get home every day, lord,
There ain’t nobody waiting there, man
And I ain’t got no girlfriends, and I ain’t got no boyfriends, man.
I ain’t got no any kind of friends, man, I ain’t got no...
My tv set doesn’t work, my radio doesn’t work, man.
I come home there’s nothing
Nothing, man, there’s no animals moving,
There’s nothing, man
Walk in that door seems like I’m sitting there every day, man.

Lord, loneliness
Lord, loneliness
Ah, ah, loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Lord.

All right!

Blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man stood on the way and cried,
Crying, "Oh, show me the way, show me the way,

Bye Bye Baby


Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I gotta be seeing you around
When I change my living standard and I move uptown,
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
So long, my honey, so long.
Too bad you had to drift away
'Cause I could use some company
Right here on this road, on this road I'm on today.
I get the feeling I could chase you clean on in the ball
And wind up staying pull off, put down strung out and stalled.
Honey, I ain't got time to wait on you or to fetch your super ball,
I got lots of things I've got to do.
I know that you got things to do and places to be.
I guess I'll have to find the thing you placed on me.
I may wind up in the street or sleep beneath a tree,
Still I guess you know honey I've gotta go.
Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I guess you know you're on your own,
It seems you just got lost somewhere out in the world
And you left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
Bye, bye-bye baby, baby bye-bye!

Coo-coo

Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, and she warbles when she flies
But she never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day of July.
Said Jack o'Diamonds, well Jack o'Diamonds, oh I know you of old,
Honey you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold,
All of my gold, all of my gold.
Well, Jack o'Diamonds, oh Jack o'Diamonds, oh I know you of old,
Honey, you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold.
Said the cuckoo, she's a cruel bird, and she warbles when she flies
And every time that she passes, my true love says good-bye,
Well, says good-bye, well says good-bye,
Ooh, ooh ...

Down On Me

Down on me, down on me,
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
They’re down on me.

Love in this world is so hard to find
When you’ve got yours and I got mine.
That’s why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They’re down on me.

Saying they’re down on me, down on me.
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me.

When you see a hand that’s held out toward you,
Give it some love, some day it may be you.
That’s why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They’re down on me, yeah.

Lord, they’re down on me, down on me, oh!
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Is down on me.

Believe in your brother, have faith in man,
Help each other, honey, if you can
Because it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Is down on me.

I’m saying down on me, oh, down on me, oh!
It looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me!!

The Last Time

Make it the last time, make it the last time
Make it the last time, oh darling please.

But I don’t understand why you always pick the time
When I’ve just talked to you with your love on my mind.
To see a distant light, to hear a far-off horn
To leave me one more time, I can’t stand no more

Say no more, well no more,
Well no more, darling, please.

And every time you leave I make the very same vow
That when you come back I ain’t gonna love you no how.
But when you return you look so fine to me
I can’t stand no more, my darling, it’s just got to be

I said the last time, oh the last time,
Oh the last time, darling, please.

Don’t you understand me, don’t you understand me ?
Honey, don’t you understand my word ?

Well, you told me that you love me, I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it’s true.
Hold on to my heart, I’ll believe it till you’re leaving
Then I’ll cry.

Oh darling, oh darling,
Oh darling, make up your mind

Oh, I can’t stand your loving, honey, it’s tearing me apart,
You done got my soul, but now you’re after my heart.
Well, don’t hurt me, darling, now you know how to do it so well
I just got one consolation, I just wail

It was the last time
It was the last time
It was the last time, darling, please.

When you told me that you love me I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it’s true.
Hold on to my heart, I’ll believe it till you’re leaving
Then I’ll cry.

Well no more, well no more,
Well no more without you, please!

If you wanna love me, honey, please stay home,
If you don’t wanna love me, baby, please stay gone.
Don’t you understand me, don’t you understand me ?
Don’t you understand my words ?

Say no more, oh no more,
Well no more, oh, darling, oh!

You told me that you love me I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it’s true.
Hold on to my heart, I’ll believe it till you’re leaving
Then I’ll cry, yeah.

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.

You`re out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain`t right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, and I cry all the time!
But each time I tell myself that I, well I can`t stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I`ll sing it once again.

I`ll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c`mon now.
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it ¡ª whoahhhhh!!

Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

Kozmic Blues


Time keeps movin` on,
Friends they turn away.
I keep movin` on
But I never found out why
I keep pushing so hard the dream,
I keep tryin` to make it right
Through another lonely day, whoaa.

Dawn has come at last,
Twenty-five years, honey just in one night, oh yeah.
Well, I`m twenty-five years older now
So I know we can`t be right
And I`m no better, baby,
And I can`t help you no more
Than I did when just a girl.

Aww, but it don`t make no difference, baby, no, no,
And I know that I could always try.
It don`t make no difference, baby, yeah,
I better hold it now,
I better need it, yeah,
I better use it till the day I die, whoa.

Don`t expect any answers, dear,
For I know that they don`t come with age, no, no.
Well, ain`t never gonna love you any better, babe.
And I`m never gonna love you right,
So you`d better take it now, right now.

Oh! But it don`t make no difference, babe, hey,
And I know that I could always try.
There`s a fire inside everyone of us,
You`d better need it now,
I got to hold it, yeah,
I better use it till the day I die.

Don`t make no difference, babe, no, no, no,
And it never ever will, hey,
I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah,
I got to hold it, baby,
I`m gonna need it now,
I`m gonna use it, say, aaaah,

Don`t make no difference, babe, yeah,
Ah honey, I`d hate to be the one.
I said you`re gonna live your life
And you`re gonna love your life
Or babe, someday you`re gonna have to cry.
Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed,
Ah, baby, yes indeed.

I said you, you`re always gonna hurt me,
I said you`re always gonna let me down,
I said everywhere, every day, every day
And every way, every way.
Ah honey won`t you hold on to what`s gonna move.
I said it`s gonna disappear when you turn your back.
I said you know it ain`t gonna be there
When you wanna reach out and grab on.

Whoa babe,
Whoa babe,
Whoa babe,
Oh but keep truckin` on.
Whoa yeah,
Whoa yeah,
Whoa yeah,
Whoa,
Whoa,
Whoa,
Whoa,

Piece Of My Heart (in Album I Got Dem Ol` Kozmic Blues Again Mama!)


Just let ourselves get together right now.

Ball and Chain!!!

Yeah, I heard that, man. How are you, how, I mean, er, how are you out there ?
Are you are you OK ? You know that you stand stoned and you got enough water
and you got a place to sleep and everything. What does that mean ? Huh ?
Because, you know, because we ought, all of us, you know, I don`t mean to be
preachy but we ought to remember that in that case it means promoters, too,
that music`s for grooving, man, and music`s not for putting yourself through
bad changes. You know, I mean you don`t have to go take anybody`s shit, man,
just to like music, you know what I mean ? You don`t. So er, so if you`re
getting more sh*t than you deserve, you know what to do about it, man. You
know, it`s just music. Music`s... music`s supposed to be different than that.

Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn`t I make you feel, oh honey, like you were the only man I ever wanted,
that I ever needed ?
Oh ho, honey, didn`t I give you nearly everything that I ever had to give ?
Oh, you know I did!
But each time I tell myself that I, I think I`ve had enough,
Well, I`m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy daddy daddy,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Yes indeed, whoaa.

You`re out on the streets, you`re looking good,
Honey, deep down inside I know you know it ain`t never been right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never hear me cry at night,
oh!
Each time I tell myself that I can`t stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I`ll sing it once again.

Say come on, come on, yeah, come on, come on and take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby,
You know you got it, if it makes you feel good.
I want you to feel good now, yeah!!!

Say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Have a, have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby.
You know you got it ¡ª alright!!!

Say! Whoaa, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy,
Break it, break it, break it, I want you to want it, take out the inside of me,
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, baby, baby.
You know you got it, if it makes you ¡ª
I want you to feel good, Lord, alright!!!
Yeah!!

Work Me, Lord


Work me Lord, work me Lord.
Please don't you leave me,
I feel so useless down here
With no one to love
Though I've looked everywhere
And I can't find me anybody to love,
To feel my care.
So ah work me Lord, whoa use me Lord,
Don't you know how hard it is
Trying to live all alone.
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
But something is driving me, oh, back,
Honey, something's trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life.
So don't you forget me down here, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Ah, ah, don't you forget me, Lord.
Well I don't think I'm any very special
Kind of person down here, I know better,
But I don't think you're gonna find anybody,
Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried,
The worst you can say all about me
Is that I'm never satisfied. Whoa.
Whoa, oh, oh, work me Lord, hmm, use me Lord,
Please, honey, don't you leave me,
I feel so useless down here.
I can't find me anybody to love me
And I've looked around,
I've looked everywhere, everywhere
And I can't find me anyone to love,
To feel my care.
So honey don't you go and leave me, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Honey, don't you go off and leave me, Lord.
Can't I show you how hard it is
Trying to live when you're all alone.
Everyday I keep pushing,
Keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh, back,
And something's trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life, why.
Oh please, please, oh don't you go and
Forget me down here, don't forget me, Lord.
I think that maybe you can ease me,
Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa,
Oh please, please, don't you go and leave me Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please,
Hmm please, don't you leave me, Lord.
