James Alley Blues (Live)
Times right now ain't nothin' like they used to be
Times right now ain't nothin' like they used to be
You know I'll tell you all the truth, won't you take my word from me
Well, I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these
Well, I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these
I had a lot better time with those women down in New Orleans
Well, I was born in the country so she thinks I'm easy to lose
Well, I was born in the country so she thinks I'm easy to lose
She wants to hitch me to a wagon and drive me like a mule
Well, I bought her a gold ring and I pay the rent
Well, I bought her a gold ring and I pay the rent
She tried to get me to wash her clothes but I got good common sense
Well, if you don't love me then why don't you just tell me so?
Well, if you don't love me then why don't you just tell me so?
It ain't like I'm a man that ain't got nowhere else to go
I give you sugar for sugar, all you want is salt for salt
I give you sugar for sugar but all you want is salt for salt
Well, if you can't get along with me, then it's your own fault
Well, you want me to love you but then you just treat me mean
Ah, you want me to love you but then you just treat me mean
You're my daily thought and you're my nightly dream
Sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die
Oh, sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die
And other times I think that you ought to be buried alive
Times right now ain't nothin' like they used to be
You know I'll tell you all the truth, won't you take my word from me
Well, I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these
Well, I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these
I had a lot better time with those women down in New Orleans
Well, I was born in the country so she thinks I'm easy to lose
Well, I was born in the country so she thinks I'm easy to lose
She wants to hitch me to a wagon and drive me like a mule
Well, I bought her a gold ring and I pay the rent
Well, I bought her a gold ring and I pay the rent
She tried to get me to wash her clothes but I got good common sense
Well, if you don't love me then why don't you just tell me so?
Well, if you don't love me then why don't you just tell me so?
It ain't like I'm a man that ain't got nowhere else to go
I give you sugar for sugar, all you want is salt for salt
I give you sugar for sugar but all you want is salt for salt
Well, if you can't get along with me, then it's your own fault
Well, you want me to love you but then you just treat me mean
Ah, you want me to love you but then you just treat me mean
You're my daily thought and you're my nightly dream
Sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die
Oh, sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die
And other times I think that you ought to be buried alive
